It’s colorful, and combines an aboriginal arts feel with 20th century cartoons.
LOL! Snagglepuss and Booboo.

The artist is Cash Akoza & the pics above and below blow up real nice!
KIDS’ MONTH 2016
Cash Akoza has taken First Nations style art to a new horizon.
In an older, drab area of Winnipeg, Cash has added color and theme & brightened it up for all the kids who live there.
There are 5 painted walls, all in small area between a street and an alley. It’s a place where a lot of kids live. This one of the walls.
Click on the above pic to see the mural in all its glory, and it is glorious!

KIDS’ MONTH 2017
I sent a book in!
She sends “Best wishes for the kids month initiative.” She said I was special, but I have to change that to – we, everyone here during Kids’ Month are special.
Sidran says: “I am attaching some pics taken from Lodhi Art District, New Delhi. It is supposed to be India’s first public art district.”
I just adore that doggie in the pic above! I send big happy wishes, and many a Thank You to Sidran
Yay!!! I mailed my book off to “PBPIO” in Iowa yesterday.

These sweet birdies are all over the city for young and old alike to enjoy.
This painted power box is outside of a grade school, and community park.
Seems like chicks and “Chicklets” alike are for kids, and kids are very cool.
Even the stupid tag on this side doesn’t ruin it, for me. I hope the kids who see it everyday are inspired by the art, and not the vandalism. I’m hoping Uber 5000 comes back and touches it up.

KIDS MONTH 2017
It is my glory to have received a guest submission from the artist, Mike Johnston.
The first 6 pieces of art shown in this article were all painted during the summer of 2016 in Winnipeg.
I asked Mike to tell me a bit about himself.
♢
I, for one, am thrilled Mike has come out of hibernation. His work is eye-catching, totally gorgeous and the details are mesmerizing.
I asked Mike about this very interesting work of art, shown in the above photo, and next 2 shots.
Artist: Mike Johnston – Photo © Mike Johnston
Mike: “The mural with the panels was a painting i put up at a recent art show. The blank spaces are the paintings that came from the installation.”
I love it!
The following shots are some earlier examples of Mike’s work.
You can visit Mike on his Website www.murdersnest.com .. where, if you’re in need of some gorgeous art on your building or on your body, he has a Contact Page.
Below, is Lester. This was one of the very first pieces of Street Art I ever encountered in Winnipeg. However, Lester was seriously obscured by industrial trash bins. Two years later, I returned, only to find a good portion of this amazing work had eroded due to the harsh Winnipeg Winters.
Mike, thank you for this pic!

I found this tribute, by Elicser, in Graffiti Alley, Toronto.
You can read about him & listen to his raps on the King Reign Website
He was a Toronto Gem. Young to die, & honestly, I don’t know everything. However, this is a beautiful work of art.

On the side of a bar on Rue Archibald…
…is this fab mural that looks like Jack Daniels paid for.
I don’t drink the big “W”, but I sure listen to music.
Blow up the above pic, & see the biggest shot I was able to take. That was due to a very narrow sidewalk, and very heavy traffic.
⭐ Special thanks to Sherrie for getting me to this mural on my last day in Winnipeg! ⭐
