I think this is a Portuguese Rooster.

We have lots of variations of these roosters in Toronto, and they are all gorgeous.

The background looks like a vintage dinner plate design.

This stencil art is on a garage door.

This is my 1499th post. I hope you’ll all join me on Sunday, when GLAM presents its 1500th Go-Go Gala.

The Poser Bunnies

Poser Bunnies were some of the first graf art pieces I found when I began collecting in Toronto.

There was an ample supply all over the city.

Then they disappeared, for years.

They have returned, but they are different. They’re all happy.

The bunnies used to have other expressions: angry, devilish, rascally, indifferent, maniacal even.

Now, they’re just all happy!

Here’s the 2 above in their Graffiti Alley home.

Toronto is reputedly the Raccoon Capital of the world.

True, there is the issue of when they get into your attic, and set up housekeeping. They can chew wires and destroy structure. They can carry rabies and disease dangerous to humans.

Still, they are crazy cute (especially the young ones). Okay, they eat your garbage, but isn’t that better than land fill?

I found this little muffin head bandit in Kensington Market. He was trying to get across to another trash bin. There were a gathering of people watching. You’d think they never seen a wild urban animal before. City folk!

I shot this on a different day. I love how the lighting brought out the blue.

Shey Wolf

SHEY told me she loves wolves. I told her I had one for her!

It’s a beauty… where else? On a power box!

I hope you like it, Shey!

There’s a face on the other side. It sits in a dark grey shadow, clouds or shine.

I had to enhance it, like crazy!

Anyway, It’s all about the wolf, and Shey!

Cameron House

The Cameron House was built in 1880.

In 1895, the structure became the “John Burns Hotel.”

 In 1896, it became the “Cameron House”.

In the early 1920’s it became a working hotel.

In 1981 it became a venue/hotel for the bohemian arts crowd featuring music, performance, and visual art.

It remains so to this day.

The music venue holds about 60 people.
