Adventures in Graf w/Sherrie – “The Mother Lode”

It was a really, really very big head. It was on a bigger wall.

MLode #1

Sherrie & I noticed the Graf craning out from behind 7 foot fencing. We discovered the Art was on a massive warehouse wall in an empty parking lot.

MLode #2

I saw the gate was unlocked, but it wouldn’t budge. Sherrie took care of it.

MLode #3

What a fun discovery!

More of this warehouse parking lot’s walls are future coming on GLaM.

MLode #7

In an attempt to display this Graf Conglomeration’s hugeness, the little black figure is me.

I love Ottawa, and I love my blog pals. Many of you are bicycling enthusiasts. So if you visit Ottawa check out Foster’s Ottawa’s oldest bike shop.

Special Thanks to my Assistant Designer “Zena” (and her puppy) who drove me hither and yon to collect outdoor art.

Evil Eyes

The only signature I see is Chou, but I have found reference that this piece is by Elicsr, Chou and Urbanski.

Chou #1

I pointed it out to Sherrie on our way to The Hard Rock Cafe. It was peeking out of the Ossington alley, and I said that looks like an Elicsr. When I got close, it seemed different.

Chou #2

Much to my chagrin, I didn’t see the man’s head until I looked at my photos.

Chou #3

Here’s a slideshow tour of more of the mural. Oh, the little figures running along under the mural are ceramic animals. That’s another post.

I guess missing the man’s head was like missing a forest for the trees.

The Runner

I need to find out the name of this Artist, and I will. I see this style here and there, and it’s unique.

Run #1

Ossington Alley, W. side N. Of Queen W.

Run #2

I like what the artist did to make the sharp edged undulations of the building work for their piece.
