Giraffe by Birdo

I found this Giraffe on Sunday. It was the Birdo I needed for Kids’ Month.

Artist: Birdo

The entire mural feels like world of fun & toys.

Artist: Birdo

I imagine this is a magic sock filled with creative ideas and projects.

Artist: Birdo

The best is that it’s in a crevice in an alley where kids live and garbage is kept. This mini-mural works so well, the trash bins go almost unnoticed.

Artist: Birdo

No one brightens cement city like Birdo!

Coyote & Grizzlies

Aarrooo… yip … bark .. roo roo… aaarooo, yip!

Artist: Cash Akoza

Who goes there? Wolf or a coyote?

Artist: Cash Akoza

I’m a coyote, but I’m practicing to be a wolf.

Artist: Cash Akoza

Whoa, just hold on there!

Artist: Cash Akoza

I’m pretty sure once a coyote, always a coyote. Check out Cindy Knoke’s pictures of coyotes that she took!  Click on the pic, and it will take you to her coyotes.

I changed my mind. I’m a wolf! Yip, bark, arooo, yip.

Artist:Cash Akoza

Not so fast little buddy! I’m going to ask my cousin Wilbear. He lives on a shipping container across town.

Artist: Cash Akoza

Howdy Beary! I’d say he’s a coyote.

Artist: Cash Akoza

Well, maybe you guys aren’t Grizzly Bears?

Artist: Cash Akoza

 As sure as you and Beary live in the same mural, Beary and I are grizzlies. I’d like to add if people click on the mural above, they can see how splendid it is.

Artist: Cash Akoza

 Also, if you click on Cindy‘s Grizzly pic below, you will be transported to Cindy’s pics of our real grizzly cousins!

Spring Chicks

The first day of spring is in a few days, & the Uber 5000 chicks celebrate with art.

Artist: Uber 5000

The painting doesn’t get any higher than this. It is mostly 2 feet off the ground.

Artist: Uber 5000

I tried hunching down low.

Artist: Uber 5000

As you see, getting down on my knees & elbows worked better.

Artist: Uber 5000

The Chicks are writing!

Artist: Uber 5000

They are reciting and acting!

Artist: Uber 5000

They are painting!

Artist: Uber 5000

They are erasing mistakes, and starting over again!

Artist: Uber 5000

They’re taking off to the alleys to paint street art.

Look what I found for Georgiann, a street art pigeon! It’s just a tiny little bit of art, hiding in a corner in a alley. Anyway, it’s for her and if you click on it, you will be transported to her blog via pigeon magic.
