It’s an old Billy Idol song.
His message is clear, yet living in an bohemian arts community at the time,
I thought “face without eyes” was more it.
Some died. Some just faded away.

Yes, I actually just went into someone’s yard and took these. I saw it from the street and couldn’t control myself.
It took time to come around to liking this.
Now, I think it’s pretty cool.
This mural is on a building that houses a boxing gym. Go figure!
I got total recall of “Total Recall” looking at the above image.

I found this in spring 2023. This mural runs along crumbling walls in an alley in Kensington Market.
Oddly, this pig is the first piece. Thinking about it, it seems to be part of the mural. Anyway, I decided to open with the above, which is third, working left to right.I like it best of the 3.
A Wise man?
More Warriors
A goose
OUCH!

This is what I saw when I first stumbled upon the mural.
This face is small, but dominates the section of alley she lives in.

Thought of Becky at Platform Number 4 when I found this in a 1962 issue of McCall’s magazine.
A young Buddy Guy.
Wonder why his guitar looks like he’s playing left handed?
Dexter Gordon
Donnie Walsh from “Downchild Blues Band” on harmonica.
Background ghost musicians.
This amazing mural is on Grossman’s Tavern in Toronto.
Grossman’s is almost kitty corner from the El Mocambo, made famous by The Rolling Stones in 1977.
Grossman’s – since 1943.
I lived 1 block up the street, for 15 years. Many stories, but that’s for when I get a porch & a rocking chair.

This video is from Downchild’s 40th year celebration.
Research: Kat asked Nobrega on IG who was who, but his profile is now gone.
All found online.
I thought it said “Welcome”.
A month earlier I had driven by, and this mural graced a parking lot.
I finally had time to go back and capture this massive and fabulous mural.
When I got there, it was about to break ground to become a high rise.
I thought 2 things. 1- The mural will be blocked from view.
2- Where do all those cars I saw park now? I mean, there’s nowhere to park in the city.
Yay!! I found a small gap in the chain link fence, just enough to squeeze through.
I didn’t have to climb!
Here are some close ups of details.
I found this on another Day.

Nowhere on the sign did it say “No Trespassing”!
On a rotting wood fence in an alley
is an angel with pink hair.
I’m smitten.
