The Great Wall of China
This is a classic style Graffiti Mural. It has an image & writing.
This is part of the Seven Wonders of the World series in Chinatown east.
Recently, Professional Moron posted a book review on the book: The Great Wall of China: by Franz Kafka. Below is an image of the wall that goes with the post. Click on the pic to go to that post.
Many facts about the Great Wall are spelled out in the post, and it definitely worth reading.

Here’s another painted truss from Underpass Park.
The fact that it’s B & W highlights the effect of the sun from different positions in the underpass.
This one is painted on all 4 sides.
Even the underside is painted.

The Artist:
The Dirty Bird
Elicsr has built a lovely flirtation into this mural.
In an area of Toronto heavy with street art, Elicsr holds fast his creative style,
…while making some coin doing a commercial mural.
He has put eons into painting the streets & alleys of Toronto.
Oddly enough, The Dirty Bird is a waffles & chicken joint.
I like waffles!
I imagine this is made from fresh frozen strawberries & almond milk. In reality, a classic milkshake.
Lots of maple syrup.
Waffle sandwiches?

Dizzy ‘n Blue
It was sunny last Sunday. It’s been mostly all grey since, again.
It’s been the darkest winter + spring = ever!
It makes a blue and dizzy feeling.
Just trying to put a light hearted spin on it.

The Artist: I wonder if the signature is behind the trash bins?
Lucky Kitty, Tiger, Panda & Dragon
This is a tiger kitten who grew into a bigger tiger.
The Chinese “Lucky Kitty”!
I thought, “Yay, cats!” and thought of Georgiann when I found this.
Ooo, the cats side by side. That’s very lucky!
Then, there’s a lucky Panda. I love Pandas.
OMG! A lucky dragon!
Working my way back to capture the 3 writings.
A very lucky mural, all in all! (It blows up a bit if clicked)

Lucky Artists:
Christ the Redeemer
Lucky shot! The rays & light arc are due to the sun coming up from behind the building.
This piece of street art is based on the Mount Corcovado, Brazil, statue of Christ the Redeemer.
Built in the 1920s by Heitor da Silva Costa, it is an art-deco statue designed by Paul Landowski.
Considered a symbol of Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer is the 5th biggest statue of Jesus in the world.
This was truly a challenge to capture. The dead end alley is very narrow, and filled with a host of debris and machinery. I shot from below.
I zoomed in.
I shot from across the street, which is why there are wires in the shot below..
I stood on a 2 foot high pile of collapsed, waxed cardboard boxes.
When I stumbled out of the alley, a car had parked in the entrance. Yay, reflections!
Christ the Redeemer was vandalized in 2010 by a house painter. He had tagged his head and right arm with graffiti.

Mike Kennedy passed away recently. A memorial wall was painted by many of the artists he worked with. I will post that in the near future.
This statue became one of the Seven New Wonders of the World on July 7, 2007.
