It was -20C. I had an errand by Graffiti Alley. I said don’t go into the alley!

Artist: Nicolas Canon

I couldn’t control myself. It was rutted ice and snow. I walked in the ruts.

Artist: Nicolas Canon

Even if there was nothing new, look how gorgeous the alley is! There is miles of painted alleys & lanes.

Artist: Nicolas Canon

I found 5 new pieces. It seems the artists kept going even after the cold set in. I’m so excited, I’m posting one now!

Artist: Nicolas Canon

I wore fingerless gloves & wow, whew, thaw time was required.

Uber Cats w/Turtles & Dogs

This is the last post from the Humane Society wall.

Artist: Uber 5000

To the right of the orange cat playing with a ball of blue yarn (as you look at the mural) are 2 turtles.

Artist: Uber 5000

Seems the turtles have bad eyes, or are they wearing glasses because they are shallow fashion turtles?

Artist: Uber 5000

To the left is an orange cat who plays with an orange ball, and a black cat.

There’s nothing like 2 great big kitten heads in a row!

Uber Lagomorpha & Rodentia

Rabbits are uber-smart, and it’s not just because they wear glasses.

Artist: Uber 5000

Sometimes it’s because they don’t want to wear glasses. (vanity reasons)

Artist: Uber 5000

Rabbits will be rabbits.

Artist: Uber 5000

However, squirrels and chipmunks often wear watches (Thank you Carolee)

Whereas rats prefer donuts.

Artist: Uber 5000

They also mesmerize you by running on a wheel.
