A Blue Cat for Georgiann

I set out to find 4 murals I’d heard rumored.

I had to pass on #1, as I was running late due to DST! I found #2, but this is not it.

I found the blue cat, and I also found a trove of street and alley art on my way to 3 & 4.

The moment I saw the blue cat, I though Georgiann will love it! However, I found so much art, my battery had died when I arrived at 3 & 4.

I love it!

Hop Around the Hopper People

Along the Liberty Village trail, they are painting all of the old silos and hoppers.

This is a painted hopper.

It is beside a leather company, but I prefer to think “pleather”.

Very interesting faces!

The legs are interesting, too.

Reggae, the King’s Music

I went to a unique area of the city to get this fab Reggae mural.

Artist: Adrian Hayles

When I found it, it was in a parking lot filled with cars. Yay, reflections!

I only knew basic history of Haile Selassie. However, if you are interested, as I was  you can read the BBC article: Rastafrian Beliefs Regarding Haile Selassie

Artist: Adrian Hayles

Moving on, it looks like Bob Marley leading into Haile Selassie …

For Emmie

I heard about a cat painting on an electric box.

Artist: Alexander Bacon

After walking for an hour with no luck, it was right in front of me. It wasn’t on a box, it was on a silo!

Artist: Alexander Bacon

 I fell in love, and knew it would be for Emmie, even though Emmie looks completely different.

Artist: Alexander Bacon

Emmie (Emily) is Georgiann’s Cat

Artist: Alexander Bacon

The silo is round, and I wondered what the cat was looking at.

Egg of Birdo

There was this crazy ugly egg on Queen W. It somehow advertised a condo.

Artist: Birdo

The art supply store is right beside the egg.

Artist: Birdo

I bumped into Birdo in the store. He was buying spray paint, and told me he was painting the egg.

Artist: Birdo

I grabbed a couple of pics, then decided to come back when it was completed.

Artist: Birdo

Looks like the egg is hatching!

Artist: Birdo

Best egg, ever!!!
