Now Think

Sherrie and I had a really fun lunch at the “Hard Rock Cafe” then head out to grab a few murals in the hood.

Now #1

You gotta love this one at “Now” magazine HQ’s!

Now #2

NXNE is not the artist, it’s a music, film, interactive and comedy festival.

Now #3

Now #11

It’s a hard one to shoot. It’s just so big & high, and I had a hard time finding focal points.

So I decided to be as crazy as the mural!

I shot this mural of the history of North American Lumber twice within a 1 month period… trees green, and trees not green.

It was originally painted in 2000.

Evil Eyes

The only signature I see is Chou, but I have found reference that this piece is by Elicsr, Chou and Urbanski.

Chou #1

I pointed it out to Sherrie on our way to The Hard Rock Cafe. It was peeking out of the Ossington alley, and I said that looks like an Elicsr. When I got close, it seemed different.

Chou #2

Much to my chagrin, I didn’t see the man’s head until I looked at my photos.

Chou #3

Here’s a slideshow tour of more of the mural. Oh, the little figures running along under the mural are ceramic animals. That’s another post.

I guess missing the man’s head was like missing a forest for the trees.
