A Cat for Gigi

On By ResaIn Cats, Kensington Market2 Comments

Years ago, I was looking for cat street art for Gigi – Rethinking Life.

Someone told me about this new garage door with a tiger on it, in an alley near Kensington Market.

It took about 3 hours of alley grid walking, but I found it!

Unfortunately, it had already been severely defaced with tags. No cat for Gigi!

A few days ago, I was in the area, and went through the alley as a long cut to the streetcar stop.

OMG! The Tiger had been restored!

So, I found this alley that was like Alice’s Wonderland, in a way.

Then, when I went to post it, the Classic Editor was GONE. Now, I’m in another type of wonderland.

I had a lovely chat with one of the happiness engineers.

I’m not getting my old editor back, but there is an classic-ish option within the blockhead. I’m using that for as long as possible.

I was quite upset, wanted to cancel my account. However, I’ve made so many pals out here, that I just could not bear the thought of not blogging.

“No Thanks! I’m smokin’ Damsel Flies!”

In the alley west of Ossington.

A new painting, with the best up so high, it’s hard to capture…

… and that seems like a new artist, to me.

The bottom half was lost on me after studying the top half for so long.

All in all, a great find by the trash bins!

Apologies for not capturing the signature, which was there.
