I’ve seen this style face before, but I just can’t put a finger on who the artist is.

The Artist:
Queen Frida
I start with a car roof reflection of Elicsr’s wall portrait of Frida Kahlo.
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907 – 1954) is remembered for her self-portraits, and paintings filled with bold colors & Mexican and indigenous culture .
I believe the title “Queen” comes from the idea that she is the original”Selfies Queen”. This article from “The Guardian” Frida Kahlo: feminist, selfie queen, queer icon and style muse of 2017 is very interesting.
In 2006, Frida Kahlo self-portrait, Roots, was sold for $5.62 million at Sotheby’s, NYC.

The Artist:
This painting is quite old for alley art. Possibly 10 years. It has survived in a heavily tagged area.
Birdo or Jerry Rugg
On an empty silo, is a birdo, by Birdo.
On the other side of the silo is what looks like a Canada Goose,with a pointy bill, by Jerry Rugg.
Birdo is Jerry Rugg.

The Artist:
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?
