I’ve always been a fan of EGR Art. It goes back to my earliest days in the alleys.
This is a wonderful community mural.
The artist did a great job despite the heavily pitted brick.
If I don’t post this now, I might never. I’m drowning in street art over here!
Moving left to right, at this point of the post.

The Artist:
So, I found another painted alley.
I haven’t finished the last alley, or the one before that and a couple of others.
I figure I’ll just go back to posting those other alleys, soon.
This alley was painted as a tribute to Barry Luksenberg, who performed under the name “Feel Good”. At 24, he was killed in a motorcycle accident while travelling across Vietnam with a friend.
He and his crew “512” were based out of the St. Clair West neighbourhood, which hosts this lane.
This lane has been officially named by the city, as Feel Good Lane.

The Artists:
I was half frozen and par-blind when I found this.
I’m rueful about not having captured each and every woman individually.
The cold & the sun foiled me.
Nonetheless, I love us and I’m happy.

The Artist:
These doors are all in one alley.
It seems like a theme.
I like them all, a lot!
The one above is the only one that makes me dizzy. The piece below is the only one that is not a garage door.

The Artists: in order of appearance, mostly
This is the last post of the Nick Sweetman mural.
It’s the other side, and it’s much shorter than across the road.
Here’s the entrance to the underpass. I’m walking south, now, on the east side of the street.
OMG, look at that terrifyingly cute otter! (I think it’s an otter) Again, even though a cloudy day, the sun burns into the underpass.
The very adorable otter with its native spirit depiction.
After all that excitement, there is an owl.
What a beauty!
Okay, next we have, an Ibis? At first, when I was in the underpass, I got very excited to see an ostrich and its chick. I see now, I was completely off track.
OMG, this chick is sooo cute, it could be a Chicklet!
What’s that big furry thing in the foreground?
Wow, it’s a fox. Hope he doesn’t turn around and see all those birds!

What made across the street a longer post, is the wall beyond the underpass.
Thanks to Nick Sweetman for making this drab underpass into a thing of beauty!
Let me begin where I entered, on the east side, walking north.
There is a railing to protect us from the thundering traffic.
Of course that makes it hard to shoot large images. You can’t get far enough back.
Also, there are many light issues in underpasses. Even on a cloudy day, the burn of the sun can be seen.
I am presenting the images in order.
This, I guess possum, is so cute!
He is right there as you emerge from the underpass.
Just look at all the art still ahead!
There is the other side of the underpass, as well. I was able to take a few more direct shots from the other side.
Even if the railing was in the way,
I didn’t have to get as creative with the shots, such as the next 2.
This could only be taken from the other side. Unfortunately, the buffalo & moose were behind cement pillars. I suppose they needed those to hold the overpass up.

We had a quick chat on the day. He still had 2 days of painting to go.
The next post has a swan, a butterfly, a mosquito and more!
