Pretty Polar Bear

On March 5, 2016 By ResaIn Alley Gallery, Kids' Month - 2016, Murals6 Comments

This polar bear lives in an alley behind Selkirk Avenue in Winnipeg.

I can usually find out the artist and year of Winnipeg murals, but this one is evading me.

The Magic Meadow

On February 23, 2016 By ResaIn Kids' Month - 2016, Murals, Street Art36 Comments

This Magic Meadow is in Ottawa.

It has a magic tree that sheds light to all who grow under it.

The Mushrooms especially like it, because they often grow in shaded places.

All life is happy in the Magic Meadow.

Kids’ Park & Community Garden

I found this art a few days ago in a kids’ park & community garden.

Of course it was -10C, but as this is Kids’ Month on GLaM, I took off my gloves and shot these adorable images that decorate a tool shed.

Michelle Eastman, whose personal cause is

Calling all Kid Lit Authors and Book Bloggers-You Can Make a Difference to a Child in Need…

has a month for children, so I can, too!

The causes are on my side bar..

Looks like kids’ of all ages painted this.

Below, this one side of the shed seems painted by an older artist. A teen? A parent?

Calling all Kid Lit Authors and Book Bloggers-You Can Make a Difference to a Child in Need…

Michelle from Michelle Eastman Books runs a project every March to bring picture books to children with incarcerated parents or grandparents in Iowa.

You donate a book. The parent or g’parent reads it. A recording is sent along with the book for the child to enjoy.

When I decided to post my kids’ street art, I wanted to dedicate the first post to her very worthy project. The Picture Book Pass It On Logo is at the bottom of this post & will take you to all of the info.

These children worthy photos are from a housing project in Manitoba, Canada. They decorate a murky tunnel kids walk through daily.

From the Guy Maddin film “Tales from the Gimli Hospital”.

GMRest #5 — Art Direction: Charlie Johnston (C5 Artworks)

This ostrich is one of many from “Twilight of the Ice Nymphs”.

GMRest #1 — Art Direction: Charlie Johnston (C5 Artworks)

As the director, Guy Maddin, did not want his portrait in the mural, Charlie Johnston represented the director from the rear.

GMRest #3 — Art Direction: Charlie Johnston (C5 Artworks)

From ‘Dracula: Pages From a Virgin’s Diary’.

GMRest #2 — Art Direction: Charlie Johnston (C5 Artworks)

A purple eye was inspired from a short film Maddin did on Odilon Redon. Unfortunately, a beer sign was affixed upon it!
