Artist of Butterfly:

 

Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee – RIP Ali

When I heard about a memorial mural to Muhammad Ali, I rushed over.

Artist: Random

I’m not a boxing fan, but if men (or women) want to fight – better in a ring of competition than war, or abuse.

Artist: Random

So, when I got to this wall, there was this piece and about 40 other pieces. The rest will have to wait, as I’m still not finished Alley 18.

Artist: Random

I was smitten with the fact that the artist has portrayed Ali in his later years, not as the young Ali.

Artist: Random

Yet, reflected in his sunglasses is his younger self.

Artist: Random

I am told this is from a famous pic captured at an important fight.

Eyes See Past the Trash

I don’t know her name, but she goes in Alley 18 as MSKA

Artist: MSKA

Considering she was the one who got to do her art in the trash area, I am impressed.

This woman can conceptualize.

High On Birdo

I’ve been a big fan of Birdo for 4 years.

Artist: Birdo

I’ve got at least 10 garage doors and other pieces I haven’t posted, yet.

Artist: Birdo

However, this mural is really something special, as it is 5 stories high.

Artist: Birdo

It is in a parking lot in the business area, so the only day for capturing it was Sunday. I don’t like getting up early on Sunday, but I did for this.

⭐ THANK YOU, CAROLEE! ⭐

Carolee Croft is a Canadian writer currently living in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She writes novels that are in her own words “I hope not too naughty for your audience”. I find that a tad endearing coming from an admitted fan of Spongebob. You can find her books on  Carolee’s Books on Amazon

The Women

From Alley 18

Artist: Emily May Rose

I’ve been back 4 times, and I can’t get a break regarding parked cars.

Artist: Emily May Rose

I did my best, but a full shot was hard come by, and there are a couple of faces I could not get at.
