Painted in 1999, this mural is at 303 Selkirk Avenue.
I’m a tiny bit Polish heritage, and this looks Polish to me.
A beautiful bride & groom…..
…reflected in a truck!
This could be Ukrainian.
Artist: Richard Manoakeesick
I want to be corrected, should anyone know the particulars!

It’s an older mural. I’m sure it has survived due to its beauty.
In an alley off Spadina near College, every time I see it, there’s this shadow cutting the face.
… So I took the pics anyway. I muraled for a couple of hours then as I passed on my way home, the shadow was further along the mural.
The face looked better, but the mural looked worse.
Taggers have let it survive, choosing to cluster tag the doorway, instead.
Some close-ups.

The cluster-tagged doorway is quite pretty in its own right!
In the alley north side of Queen W. near Brock Street.
The trash had been recently collected, so I got an uncluttered view.

This is the most beautiful “birdo” I’ve ever seen.
It’s on a side street, north of College & west of Spadina.
It’s part of a larger graf mural.
I stood across the street for a wide shot. Perfect position would have been in the middle of the road, but the traffic was heavy.
Left to right, there’s these 2 cute birdo animals.
Then blue beauty
Then some graf writing
DMC, ACK & MXC have signed the writing, and may have assisted birdo with the rest. I’m not sure.

A gorgeous reflection of “birdo blue”
Thank you Birdo!

Restless, I went for a walk in the dark of night, & found Graf.
The above pic is taken with flash on.
Flash is off on the pics below.
This is my first experience shooting Graf at night….
…. and look at what I found!

The artist(s) made this a beauty from any angle
Found in an alley in Kensington Market.
Hard to tell how old it is, but it remains un-tagged.

The Artists
How dreamy, I thought, Dean wrote a book of love poems!
“Love”, it’s so beautiful…
..Well, yes! However, perhaps not exactly as I had envisioned.
Nonetheless, passion is very evident in these poems. It’s especially noted when I feel distance from the sexuality of love, but want to feel close to it.
Dean doesn’t squander the “love ” word. Yet, I feel puppy dog love eyes.
Dean is the dark horse running with lighter, brighter angels. His view, as always, remains true to his perceptions.
Sometimes I understood I was reading in a special language. “Evol Fo Seigolohtym Eht”
I have a fave poem in this book. “Poem For Ann Marie” & I must mention my second fave “The Market Place”. I won’t tell you why because I really think you should just read them for yourselves.
I’ll be ordering another Dean J. Baker book, in paperback, tomorrow. My collection is almost current!
You can read my reviews of ” The Eschatological Dog”
or “Silence Louder Than A Train”by clicking on the pics of the covers.
Dean is a prolific writer, and all of his many books are available on Amazon in EBook and/or Paperback. He even has his own Amazon page.
