I find this technique unique to street art.
This mural is brand new, in Little Italy.

Nina Simone
In Kensington Market, on Augusta Avenue.
Took me ages to get the few shots I did. The tourists were out in full force, and I had to wait on many walking by.
There was a sun issue as well. It was peeking over the top of the building, making streaks and blinding me. So I also waited for clouds to come.

Debris Darling
She’s a pretty face.
I can’t believe I hadn’t found this before, on one of my many trips to Kensington Market.
It’s obviously several years old, and I’ve been down the alley a few times.
Ah, but I hadn’t turned the corner in the alley, before.
Why? I figure all those black plastic rat traps put me off. However, now with Toronto’s new mushroomed rat problem, I have gotten used to seeing them run by, in the daytime.
I’m glad I found her. She’s a darling, and there is something satisfying about finding treasure in the trash.

As I exited the alley, I noticed the shop on the corner had 2 mandala wall hangings for sale. I immediately thought of Graham Stephan – Mandala Vihara
Stencil Street Art
It is Mona Lisa – sort of.
Not much stencil art on the streets or in the alleys.
At first I didn’t like it. Now I do.

Communication
This mural by the most unique artist, Elicsr, is about 8 blocks from me.
He is saying something about communicating.
There is no business nearby, like a cell phone or computer place. It’s in the parking lot of a gourmet food shoppe.
It’s massive and goes up quite high, so the pics were challenging to take.
There is a person in a wheelchair on the far right.
That person seems alone, isolated… not in communication with the rest. Then again, no one seems in communication with anyone.
Got lucky with some great car/mural reflections.

The artist – It’s signed 2001? but I would know if the mural was there for 21 years. I walk by often.
I’m sure SIGHT did the lettering.
Fake Street Art
I saw a sliver of this eye from a half block away. It was in a side lane, a perfect place for street art.
I hate jay-walking so I went 1 block back to the street light. I arrived at the art ‘s lane only to find a locked gate; behind parking for 2.
1/2 a block away I found a semi blocked off path/slot between 2 buildings.
50ft. later I was in a dead end lane, but it lead to the eye.
The Eye lead to the cheat – Valentino
Broken hearted, yet intrigued … why is the art so catchy, yet inaccessible?
A person like me might do what I did to get to see the art, only to realize it is a Valentino ad.
Was I baited?

Stone Roses
I found stone roses. I thought of Holly – House of Heart
They are on the same wall where I found “A Long Stemmed Rose for Holly.
The rose must have spilled seeds.
The seeds of love scattered,
and have grown on,
into a Stone Rose garden.
Like Holly’s poems, it’s lush and inviting.
It’s a beautiful happening!
The roses grow right out of the cement curb.
I wonder what will be here next time I pass by?
