South of Bloor and Ossington, I thought “I”ll just peek into this alley”.
I got that neat feeling…. I’ve discovered something.
I think it’s an Urban version of things rooted in the beauty of nature.
Slideshow of out-takes. This mural was either painted by “Tokyo” or merely tagged “Tokyo”

“The Great Herd of Clarence Tillenius” is the official title of this magnificent mural at 1881 Portage Avenue.
Painted in 2005, it is a tribute to the Manitoba Artist: Clarence Tillenius. Clarence received the “Order Of Canada” the same week that the mural was unveiled.
It is one of my earlier attempts to capture a large mural
Another wonderful muralling adventure with Sherrie and “The Rocket”

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”.

Continued from my last Post: On the East wall of the gorgeous side lane running north off Dundas West near Dufferin, is this piece..
It’s neat, but very different from the West wall.
Isn’t this, like, an old Maxell tape ad?

Here’s a gorgeous side lane running north off Dundas West near Dufferin.
I love Graf Writing, which takes up the West wall.
Below is my fave in this lane, & it’s a beauty!
I’ll post the East wall next. It’s so different!

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.
