This mural, in Winnipeg, was painted in 2006.
I captured it in late 2014, on a muralling expedition with Sherrie & (Bessie, the Tiburon who is gone)
It covers 2 walls, 1 on each side of a parking area.
One is about breads.
The other is about wedding cakes.

Smoky has a real storybook imagination.
Together, Smoky and Shalak, aka Candestinos, are painting the world.
I love all the details.
The little bird homes with pirate flag on the back of the bicycle.
The scout in the carrier basket filled with flowers.
Bluebirds of happiness.
Got lucky with this shot!

WELCOME TO CABBAGETOWN
Seemingly a community sponsored mural, this new beauty is found in the parking lot of the LCBO
I love that they paint this beautiful mural, then put up the LCBO sign and parking signs.
I wish they’d paint the wall in the parking lot of the LCBO in my hood! It’s about 3 times as long. It gets the worst throw-ups & tags every night.
Then, they uselessly whitewash over said tags every morning. The wall looks just as bad with all the blotchy white wash bits, as it does with the tags.

Artist: Unknown at his time
On a minimal find graf hunt day, I came across this mural.
It was in the process of being painted.
I met the artists.They spoke broken English. I spoke broken Spanish.
Despite the language differences, I learned that the artists were working with youths who had lost one or both parents to drug addiction.
I went back 6 days later to photograph the result.
The ukulele originated in Hawaii. It is related to several Portuguese instruments, in particular the machete and the rajão.

“Piliriqatigiingniq is a pillar of Inuit traditional knowledge”
It means to work together towards a common goal.
This mural is a collaboration of Nunavit youth artists and graduates of the Toronto’s Oasis Skateboard Factory.

Winnipeg’s Mural Of The Year – 2015
Risking sounding insensitive; I respect the mural, however, it is not my fave from 2015. I feel it was politically judged, rather than artistically judged. I have felt this, or sometimes that the art and politics are both a recipe for winning MOY. If that is the criterion, then why did the Nellie McClung Mural not win MOY 2016? I adore the mural that won, but it has nothing on Nellie and her gals getting women the vote.
Moving on: A truck blocked part of the left side of the mural.
Here are some close-ups.

I had to go around to shoot what the truck blocked on the left of the mural.
I shot the above Mountie & below, Tam Nguyen who owns the building the mural is painted on.
Tam Nguyen receives his Canadian citizenship.
