Corktown

This baby’s hair is flying. We’re racing to thank Frank from A Frank Angle  before his blog break.

Artist: Gary Smith

Let me start at the beginning, in the past, as shown below in an olden days Corktown image.

Artist: Gary Smith

The car above is to the left of the streetcar mural, and part of the mural in its entirety. (Thank you sun for the interesting shadow).

Artist: Gary Smith

However, as I close in onto the elements within this impressionistic work of Street Art, I don’t care about the shadow, or the heavy traffic whipping by.

Artist: Gary Smith

It is an alluring piece of art, and perfect to thank Frank for his contributions to Kids’ Month.

Artist: Gary Smith

Aww, look at the cute kitty in a basket!

Artist: Gary Smith
Artist: Gary Smith

Look at these 2 cute doggies!

Artist: Gary Smith

In this mural, the child is a local Corktown kid. However, a kid that will steal your heart is found at the Cincinnati Zoo, in Frank’s post On A Special Local Kid.

Artist: Gary Smith

Thank you, Frank!

Black, Brick & White

A new beauty has appeared in an alley in Kensington Market.

There is no place in Toronto where Street Art is held to such a street standard, yet, this past winter in Kensington saw a throw up devastation like no other.

Very few pieces were left untouched. She is one of the survivors.

The Artist:

Water

Fresh water is one of the most important things in life.

Benji & Ms. Zulu remind us in my last post, that all plants & animals need plenty of fresh water to live and grow.

SO, how can we keep it clean? Can we pollute less? How will life grow if it drinks poison?

There is one other side to this mini-mural. Looks to me like kids are sharing.

Here’s older kids, still sharing.

Giraffe by Birdo

I found this Giraffe on Sunday. It was the Birdo I needed for Kids’ Month.

Artist: Birdo

The entire mural feels like world of fun & toys.

Artist: Birdo

I imagine this is a magic sock filled with creative ideas and projects.

Artist: Birdo

The best is that it’s in a crevice in an alley where kids live and garbage is kept. This mini-mural works so well, the trash bins go almost unnoticed.

Artist: Birdo

No one brightens cement city like Birdo!

Spring Chicks

The first day of spring is in a few days, & the Uber 5000 chicks celebrate with art.

Artist: Uber 5000

The painting doesn’t get any higher than this. It is mostly 2 feet off the ground.

Artist: Uber 5000

I tried hunching down low.

Artist: Uber 5000

As you see, getting down on my knees & elbows worked better.

Artist: Uber 5000

The Chicks are writing!

Artist: Uber 5000

They are reciting and acting!

Artist: Uber 5000

They are painting!

Artist: Uber 5000

They are erasing mistakes, and starting over again!

Artist: Uber 5000

They’re taking off to the alleys to paint street art.

Artist: Uber 5000

They are riding waves, and

…painting Sea Serpents.

Look what I found for Georgiann, a street art pigeon! It’s just a tiny little bit of art, hiding in a corner in a alley. Anyway, it’s for her and if you click on it, you will be transported to her blog via pigeon magic.

Georgiann, a talented artist, writer/author, who loves books, philosophy and a good conversation, hails from Chicago & hosts a fab blog called Rethinking Life.

She’s a vegetarian, loves cats and is an animal rights activist.

Jeep & Johnny, those exquisite cats on the left, send love to her, and thank her for helping mommy on Kids’ Month.
