Egg of Birdo

On January 6, 2018August 4, 2019 By ResaIn Birdo, Street Art49 Comments

There was this crazy ugly egg on Queen W. It somehow advertised a condo.

The art supply store is right beside the egg.

I bumped into Birdo in the store. He was buying spray paint, and told me he was painting the egg.

I grabbed a couple of pics, then decided to come back when it was completed.

Looks like the egg is hatching!

Best egg, ever!!!

Elicser’s Subtle Changes

On January 3, 2018May 29, 2024 By ResaIn Elicser30 Comments

Elicser has been a fave of mine for years.

Faces and their expressions are a forte of his.

Posted in 2015, I’ve walked by this piece for a couple of years, now, but something seemed different from last time, so I took pics.

I was seeing a ghost,

… of what he had done previously.

Below is the painting in the same spot, but posted October, 2015. You can see how it’s the same, but different! Click on the pic to view the entire post.

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

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

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

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!

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

I’d forgotten about these pics, but A Frank Angle reminded me, inadvertently.

It was a post Frank did on Ordinary People. That reminded me about this street art shot in a parking lot. The shot below is from Frank’s post.

Frank covers the Murals of Cincinnati on his blog. If you check out Ordinary People, you will be in his mural category, and can check out many more delightful works of art. TY, Frank!

# Women Paint TO

STRONG SMART UNITED

In this post I will highlight the last 5 smaller pieces, and the alley itself in segments. “Strong Smart United” begins the east end of the alley at Lansdowne.

The paintings then turn a corner, into a parking area with fire escape and a one car garage. All of the 18 works of art, except 1 piece, are on walls on the south side of the alley.

I used my Pano setting to get amap of the atmosphere into 1 shot. This pic should show 6 pieces, but the garage door is open, and there is a piece on that. All of the Pano shots blow up nicely if you click on them.

Centered Artists: Jieun June Kim & Christina Mazzulla

Here, the garage door is down.

Now there’s a vehicle parked in front of the garage door, and as we come out of the parking indent, we see another 3 works along the alley’s walls. If you squint, or blow up the pic, you can see more art further down.

I adore this alley! 18 works of art, done by 20 women!

Another parking indent, 2 more pieces on a fence and a single on the side of a building. On the right is the one work on the other side.

Kurly Girlz are the alley wall of the last piece by Courtney Binns, which is on the side. One just needs to look around the corner. Here I am near the west end of the alley looking to the east.

There is one more piece behind me, but it is further along, detached a bit from the rest. It is set into a boarded up window surrounded by 4 year old works, all done by some very cool guys.

The above piece and all of Alley 18 posts can be linked to from the “Smart Strong United” pic on my sidebar.
