Pegasus & Poseidon

That’s Bunso posing by Poseidon. I met him while he was painting over the tags on his god art.

I could have asked him what god it was, but I always turn into an idiot groupie when I meet a street artist. I was lucky to be calm enough to get this pic.

He’s an amazing artist. I’ll make him an artist category, as this is my 4th or 5th piece by him.

Anyway, I wasn’t sure about the god, until…

…I found Pegasus.

Fathered by Poseidon, he was born from Medusa’s neck when Perseus cut her head off.

Fox & Kits Mural

Adore this mural, but it was a challenge to shoot. It’s 3 stories high.

Wires, again.

Best of all, a TTC shelter several feet in front of it, blocked part of the mural.

Below, an upside pano captured this shot of the most hidden kit.

The second kit, below, was easier.

I shot from across the street with the Zoom.

Above is taken from a left vantage point.

This one was taken from a right vantage point.

This last one was taken straight on. Below is a slideshow of 6 of the 7 butterflies.

A large mural is quickly swallowed by the city.

The Dreamers

Actually, I was day dreaming down a rather cozy alley when I found this.

Then, it seemed I was in a dream.

The key? Are dreams a key?

“Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something.”

Feeling Good

This looks like a paste-up.

It’s in a parking area blocked by cars and lots of wires, making it difficult to get a good full on shot.

These first 3 were taken with zoom-out.

The rustiest (good thing I just had a tetanus shot), narrowest and steepest fire escape I ever climbed was my vantage point here.

Zoomed in, but there was no getting above the wires. I was at the top, dizzy and tipsy but grabbed the shots in the slideshow below.

While up there, the sun came out and effected the colours.

Compare the cloudy and sunny colour difference

In the sideshow below find 3 close ups of the body art and 2 shots depicting why you should wash your car before parking by art!

My thoughts went to the amazing Nina Simone.

Couldn’t make up my mind. The vid below is under 2 mins. & WOW!!!

Poetess Nouveau

When I laid eyes on this exquisite mural, I immediately thought of poetess Holly – House of Heart.

If you don’t know her bewitching metaphoric prowess, you are missing out!

Found in Kensington Market, this remake of Kensington Flower Girl , (posted in 2015) has achieved a much enhanced romantic quality.

The bigger it gets, the better it gets!

Amazing what can be painted on the side of an old house.

A perfect song for this Holly dedicated post is Suzanne by Leonard Cohen, but I have already posted it for her several times.

So, I went behind a door that’s not a door, but a metaphor. This song was there.

No one can stand on a piano and sing like Steve Tyler.
