Signed “Elicser 08” in the bottom left, this lovely is found in the alley S. of Queen W. near Bathurst

Artist: Elicser

Not sure what it’s about, but it is tagged Pato© or Patoc or Patoo at the top. There is a graf artist named Pato from Brazil. Is it a collaboration, or did some smart asp just tag it for fun?

Artist: Elicser

The fact that it has survived 6 years in a heavily tagged alley without being written into oblivion, speaks to the respect this street artist commands.

Elgin Street alley, Ottawa, Canada.

So many beauties live in alleys.

I have only several more posts left from Ottawa. With luck the series I went there to Design the Costumes for will be renewed & I’ll collect more Graf. BTW Ottawa is amazing to visit!

They’re older now, but a great song is a great song.

Anser Mural – Part 2

It is improbable to take a shot of this mural without capturing a face, faces, par-face or face piece(s).

Artist: Anser

This outstanding mural deserves to be pondered if you have the time.

Artist: Anser

I hugged the wall, getting as many of the faces as possible.

Artist: Anser

I eventually made my way to a small patch of gravel.

My eye for an eye!

Artist: Anser

The end of the wall is the end of the mural.

I finally got a shot of Anser’s Mursl from the patch of gravel. Yeah, and I zoomed in for a clsoe-up.
