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.

Chou #7b

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.

Run #4

Run #5

American Woman

“American Woman” was a huge hit, and “The Guess Who” was from Winnipeg. That was before Lenny Kravitz gave it new breath.

Tagging is rare in Winnipeg, but a black door in a Graf Mural is a target….

…and what’s that neat green fringe emanating from the rear-view mirror?

Uch, then Sherrie caught me making an asp out of myself when I went in for the shot
