Winnipeg celebrates Canada’s Icelandic settlers, the first arriving in 1873-75, in this gorgeous mural.

They originally settled in Gimili, Manitoba, about one hour from Winnipeg.

Depicted below, the Vikings from Iceland came around 896 AD , but were not able to survive at that time.

Located at 536 Ellice Avenue, this well kept mural was painted in 1999.
Here’s the story!

As mentioned in the above Saga, Charlie Thorson, “Cartoon Charlie” second generation Canadian, became a famous animator responsible for many characters, including “Bugs Bunny”.

A new Comic Book Shop opened in the hood, and this mural has appeared on the side of it.
It’s signed – Troy Love Gates …B5M and Thanks Kwest (like the best graf writer … maybe ever) .. Kirk … Simon and the rest disappear behind signage & trash.
Not sure if the Thanks are for helping him paint it, or for their inspiration. The store was closed, so I didn’t go in and ask.
They seem to sell comic books and comic book toys. I saw lots of neat stuff in the window. I couldn’t tell what might be vintage or a re-pro.

Near Church & King St. East, this really looks as if someone was peeling layers of wallpaper and paint from a wall revealing the under layers.
I was there, I touched it and it is a painting. I wasn’t going to shoot it, but changed my mind. Now, I really love it!
