Keith Richards & Neil Young

MIKE’S GENERAL STORE IS A WINNIPEG FIXTURE. 

Face 1 of 4 starts with “Keith Richards”. This vintage store weaves its fab mural around 3 sides of a building.

It’s about vintage records, and Neil has discovered a “Guess Who” album. In 2011 when Keith & Neil were added to this mural mostly painted in 1999, the famous Winnipeg band was also very vintage.

The heavily textured wall (like giant stucco) and prairie sun made this fabulous mural a challenge to shoot.

Sometimes it looks like bead work images to me. I just luv it!

I ♥ Crisp

Crisp did a mural in Winnipeg, and Sherrie made sure it was one of my first graf photo-op stops when I got there.

 Born and raised in Winnipeg, I was impressed with how Crisp’s  mural suits the city. With his style, artistic vision and expression, the mural is in the top 5 of the over 700 I have captured in 5 Canadian cities.

Perfume Pretty

This mini mural is on a shutter, and is only viewable when the store is closed which is almost never. Also, it’s in the heart of Winnipeg’s special traffic.

It was Good Friday, and Sherrie got me to the shutter at 253 Vaughn Street on time just before my camera battery died.
