# Free Oleg Sentsov

On By ResaIn Paste-Ups, Street Art28 Comments

It’s been a long, long time since I found heavily political street art in Toronto.

This piece is on an indiscriminately tagged stretch of construction site board fence.

Sentsov is a Ukrainian film director who Putin put in jail. It was 2 months after Russia illegally occupied Crimea. He is serving 20 years.

He is on a hunger strike, and will die. The most recent article I can find is in Variety Magazine – July 10, 2018. Click on the LOGO to read the article.

Here is an earlier article from June 4 in The New Yorker.

This is one fierce kitty-kat!

So, as I’m capturing this, a same colored cat woman walks by. Perfect!

Now reading: Charles Bukowski on Cats

There’s a window in the cat’s mouth. It’s street art, working with what works.

I suppose lizards love flowers because the insects like flowers.
