Found in an alley in Kensington Market.
Hard to tell how old it is, but it remains un-tagged.

The Mythologies Of Love
How dreamy, I thought, Dean wrote a book of love poems!
“Love”, it’s so beautiful…
..Well, yes! However, perhaps not exactly as I had envisioned.
Nonetheless, passion is very evident in these poems. It’s especially noted when I feel distance from the sexuality of love, but want to feel close to it.
Dean doesn’t squander the “love ” word. Yet, I feel puppy dog love eyes.
Dean is the dark horse running with lighter, brighter angels. His view, as always, remains true to his perceptions.
Sometimes I understood I was reading in a special language. “Evol Fo Seigolohtym Eht”
I have a fave poem in this book. “Poem For Ann Marie” & I must mention my second fave “The Market Place”. I won’t tell you why because I really think you should just read them for yourselves.
I’ll be ordering another Dean J. Baker book, in paperback, tomorrow. My collection is almost current!
You can read my reviews of ” The Eschatological Dog”
or “Silence Louder Than A Train”by clicking on the pics of the covers.
Dean is a prolific writer, and all of his many books are available on Amazon in EBook and/or Paperback. He even has his own Amazon page.
OR
Buy his works on Create Space where all writers receive a larger royalty.

A Very Handsome Man
I LUV this piece found near Spadina & College.
Wall decay reveals it’s been around a few years. However, other than what looks like a peeled off paste-up, the taggers have behaved.
This face has street cred to spare. Sweet, huh!

This is the End of Wild!
So, let’s start at the beginning.
19/05/15 – Zena, My assistant designer was driving me along Bloor St. & we saw these very cute artists painting by the underpass.
I knew as I shot, that this was going to be one awesome underpass I was headed into.
Here’s the last of the underpass’ writing .
Bye, guys… see you on GLaM!
All 19 posts of art in this mega underpass have had “Wild” in the title.
Here’s a list
The Wildebeasts – Birdbrain & the Mouth
The Wilderness – Snake’n’Colorful Grass
Elixer & GFC in Wild Underpass

South Side – Wildcards
The south side of the underpass features lots of Graf Writing.
The pieces would make great graf trading cards .
There’s no way I can do the rest of the south side in 1 post.
It could be 3 or 4 or more posts, but I began covering this underpass at the end of June, so 2 posts will have to do.
Eagle Wild was posted on August 31. It was posted out of order because it’s so gorgeous that I could not wait. All pieces in this post are before “Eagle Wild” as one moves through the underpass.
All posts of art in this mega underpass have had “Wild” in the title.

Belén Soto’s Drake Noir Moves to Toronto
Belén of Arcilla Y Fuego sent her Drake Noir to live w/me in Toronto.
He was very nervous upon arrival & hid in the plants .
I took him walking in the alley. The art captivated him.
“Hey mom, look at me! I’m hangin’ in the alleys of TO with Resa! ”
LOL! As this slideshow reveals, we had a great day of muralling!
When we got home, Drake insisted on having shots taken on the floor I painted. He said I was an artist, too!
When I introduced Drake & mini-me, it was love at first sight! Here mini-me models a pin Belén designed. Drake flew over from Spain with it , as a gift for me.
You can visit Belén on her blog site –
Then drop by
Cerámica Belén Soto
OR
Artesanum
& do some shopping! I used my PayPal, but I see other forms of payment as well. Don’t worry about breakage, as Belén is a master at packing!
⭐ Le Drake Noir ⭐
As it was in Belén’s original Drake Noir Post this is dedicated to you!
