I think this is a Portuguese Rooster.
We have lots of variations of these roosters in Toronto, and they are all gorgeous.
The background looks like a vintage dinner plate design.
This stencil art is on a garage door.
This is my 1499th post. I hope you’ll all join me on Sunday, when GLAM presents its 1500th Go-Go Gala.

Found this parrot a couple of years ago.
Crazy how much street art I have that I’ve never posted.
I keep finding new art, and forget what I have.
I’m still catching up!

The Artist: Unknown at this time. I should have looked behind the little tree.
A cute find from Graffiti Alley.
I love it when faces are an alternative colour.
Are the mushrooms growing out of her head, or are they part of the headdress?
Is it something to do with magic mushrooms and mind expansion?

SHEY told me she loves wolves. I told her I had one for her!
It’s a beauty… where else? On a power box!
I hope you like it, Shey!
There’s a face on the other side. It sits in a dark grey shadow, clouds or shine.
I had to enhance it, like crazy!
Anyway, It’s all about the wolf, and Shey!

The Cameron House was built in 1880.
In 1895, the structure became the “John Burns Hotel.”
In 1896, it became the “Cameron House”.
In the early 1920’s it became a working hotel.
In 1981 it became a venue/hotel for the bohemian arts crowd featuring music, performance, and visual art.
It remains so to this day.
The music venue holds about 60 people.

I went to Cabbage Town. There’s usually lots of art there.
Not much there this year, but WOW, pollinator gardens everywhere.
Butterflies, bees and crazy busy insect flight zones in every garden.
It was a wonderful happening.
Based on a true story, The Sapphires is a great movie about 4 girls who rose above.

In the March 23, 1962 issue of Life magazine was an article titled “Famous Artists and Their Models”.
In getting rid of stuff, old magazines used for research are going. I bought them in the early 2000’s when I was working for Showtime.
In going through the magazines, I found this article. It is so fascinating, I have to share.
Nick of time, the magazine crumbled as I held it. I did my best taking pics.
The articles are photographed and presented in a way to see and read best.
I adore all of the anecdotal editorial that came with these fabulous images.
Click on the cover of the issue, and it will take you to a PDF of the article as presented in the magazine, as opposed to how I have presented. It is downloadable.
I can’t think of a more fitting work of music than “Frozen” by MK-O, featuring our dear dahling Marina on vocals ( & more). After all, the models are gone, but the images that came from their poses are frozen in time.
