At first it seemed like another pretty face in the midst of graffiti mayhem.

Then there’s this eyepatch with a crab.

Hera is also the goddess, who lives with my pal, Marina – Art Towards a Happy Day

Here, Hera is alive and well and living as a beautiful dog.

Taking the drawing of Hera that Marina did, I combined it with the image below,

For Hera and Marina(& Socrates) on their Anniversary

June 18th is Hera’s Gotcha Day. I’m not sure how many years ago it was, but I do know Hera has had about a million years of love since.

Happy New Year’s Eve!

I love graffiti writing. It dates back to Ancient Egypt, Greece & the Roman Empire.

These garage doors are in an alley west of Ossington, north of Queen W. .

Thinking of a line from a “Simon & Garfunkel song… “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, And tenement halls”!

Now they’re also on garage doors!
