It’s just a small piece in an alley, and I love it!
He lives midst bits and burners.
The burner (writing) to the right of the lion is by Insight. The face on the far right is an Elicsr.

Honestly, I always thought the name of this song was “Lion Eyes”. I’ve used it on a post before, and I was sure it was “Lion Eyes”. Guess I hear and see what I want to.
A new Indigenous inspired mural, by Philip Cote, graces my hood; the Village of Roncesvalles.
A new to me song, by Buffy Saint Marie & throat singer Tanya Tagaq, graces my spirit. You Got To Run (Spirit Of The Wind) is the most powerful song I’ve ever heard.
I’M BLOWN AWAY
You could listen while perusing the rest of the mural, but I doubt you will be able to take your focus off of the intense performances. 
Here are some of the murals hi-lights.
Philip Cote says about the mural “I am here doing a Sundance song to honour the ancestors and recognize where I come from”
Roncesvalles was originally settled by Colonel Walter O’Hara in 1850. O’Hara (Irish), a soldier in the British army was captured by the French in the Roncesvalles Gorge in Spain; hence the name Roncesvalles.

Buffy, a multi-media artist, rose to prominence in the late 60’s, with the folk music movement. However, once she began using her voice to support native causes, her songs were censored in the USA, and yanked from playlists.
Someone said (paraphrasing) It’s amazing how afraid powerful men in suits are, of a girl with a guitar.
I’ve waited months to horrify you all! My collection of skulls is second to none.
I’ve got evil, lucky skulls.
I’ve got animal skulls.
I’ve got shiny metallic skulls.
I’ve got Yorick’s skull.
I’ve got a skull that eats skateboards.
And, for all you art freaks, here’s an arty skull.
Your skulls make me gag! Phooey on you and your skulls! You will never get mine. I sneeze on you!
Wow, what a fab Hallow’een!
Yeah, a total no-brainer!
Grrr, I’m not a skull, but I’ve a lil’pal who is a skull, and he lives by my chin. However, I eat cats in hats!
Erm…. howdy!
Don’t look at me! This whole Hallow’een thing has me stumped.

This appealing mural is inspired by stained glass.
It wraps 2 partial sides and the front of an art store.
I’m showing it left to right. Above is a bit from the first corner turning onto the front of the store.
The woman above, and below make up the front.
Turning the last corner,
we find another woman reflecting at the water’s edge.

Thank you, Mandy!
From the Guy Maddin film “Tales from the Gimli Hospital”.
This ostrich is one of many from “Twilight of the Ice Nymphs”.
As the director, Guy Maddin, did not want his portrait in the mural, Charlie Johnston represented the director from the rear.
From ‘Dracula: Pages From a Virgin’s Diary’.
A purple eye was inspired from a short film Maddin did on Odilon Redon. Unfortunately, a beer sign was affixed upon it!

From a mural about Canadian director Guy Maddin’s work.
This is Anna. She is a scientist studying the biology of the earth’s core.
The film is a 6 minute short featuring 2 shots per second.
The heart & the cogs symbolize capitalism!
