Uber’s Chicks

These sweet birdies are all over the city for young and old alike to enjoy.

This painted power box is outside of a grade school, and community park.

Seems like chicks and “Chicklets” alike are for kids, and kids are very cool.

Even the stupid tag on this side doesn’t ruin it, for me. I hope the kids who see it everyday are inspired by the art, and not the vandalism. I’m hoping Uber 5000 comes back and touches it up.

What’s your point?

My point is that during “Kids’ Month” we should educate!

Yowzer! Did you know even grumpy Koalas love “Kids’ Month”! Okay, as a grumpy Koala, I want to say, stay tuned for “Kids’ Month”!

The Girls

In a lane off  Wellesely is this very pretty, but wildly eroded mural.

gr1

I’ve never seen paint peeling like this before. It was literally hanging like curled and colorful Post-it notes across a 40 ft. wall.

grl2

Had I found this when it was fresh, it would have been a 3-part post. This is all that was left to take pics of. I considered taking a shot of the peeling paint, but alas, I couldn’t bare to be reminded of what I’d missed out on.

Abstraction in Five

I saw this colorful strip, as I was being driven somewhere.

abst1b

When I returned on foot, I found 5 abstracts by the tracks.

abst1

The sidewalk was thin, the traffic heavy and fast. The sun reflected off the paint to blind me.

abst1c

I didn’t get hit by a car, and in spite of sun blindness, I managed to capture all 5 panels.

abst1f

I couldn’t get any further back, and the art was somewhat elevated.

abst1e

Just feeling the traffic whizzing by made me dizzy.

abst1d

abst1g

At first it was all just a smear of colours. Then I saw Jimi Hendrix playing his guitar in the purple haze of heaven.

abst2b

Now, I see other things, but it’s too, late to shoot the close ups.

abst2

You can see, in the pic below and other pics, the sun reflected in the painting.

abst3

The sun is so fabulous, I think it adds to my shots.

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes”

I thought this face was a crab or some kind of sea creature, until I got home and looked at my pics.

abst4b

I’m not sure what else I missed? If you see something, tell me!

abst5c

This fabulous art experience was a mere 1 hour walk from my home, & 1 hour back.

abst5

Nothing gets me to walk further than the anticipation of finding street art.

He was  a Toronto Gem. Young to die, & honestly, I don’t know everything. However, this is a beautiful work of art.

Phlegm in Toronto

How cool is this?

On a skyscraper near St. Clair and Yonge is …

… an 8 story tall piece by the internationally renown U.K. artist, Phlegm.

Artist: Phlegm

I had to walk a half block past the building it is painted on, marauder my way through a corporate towers’ garden & mud to find a spot where I could capture this masterpiece.

Artist: Phlegm
Artist: Phlegm

I shot fast, as I figured I might be asked to leave the private property.

This is the only real vantage point for amateur photographers, and therefore tourists to capture this wonder. So, I think whatever corporation owns the property should build a walkway for us. It’s just a thought.
