285 Smith Street
MURAL OF THE YEAR 2003
I felt dizzy …. woozy and I knew I wasn’t drunk.
I suddenly realized it was the horizon. I used my zoom, and reeled the area in. It was a building painted on a building, The St. Regis Hotel – 1911. The sky line was insane.
There was construction pounding at the base of the building and a jammed half-block long parking lot. So I went back on a Sunday.
Amazing!

This was the first piece of Street Art that I found in Ottawa last summer.
Très charmant!

This is so different.
I think it might already be painted over.

L.A. Street Art by: Jacqueline Hadel & I had a fab day while we tried to find the Mayor Ford paste up for a photo op.
Who knew, but Alley Denizens lead us to a different one. Is it a Mayor Ford crack pipe or Mayor Ford as a crack pipe?
However, first things first. We started in a back lane S. of Queen W. between Bathurst and Niagra.
We found it, the Mayor Ford graf!
Right after that we found a Kwest with 3 other tags.
We just had to get a shot with that spray can!
This is when Denizens confronted us about what we we doing. They were protecting the art. When they realized I was taking pics of a street art book with street art, they promptly took us across the alley to some Mayor Ford Graf in a doorway.
We crossed into the next alley.
We found Elicsr
.. and more Elicsr
There was another Mayor Ford paste up.
We were near the end of the alley.
Where we found a Jarus!
OUT TAKES

This piece appears to be tagged Kwest, a well known Graf artist from Toronto.
It seems I have posted other Kwest pieces without credit. Hey I only fell in love with street art a year ago. I’m loving and learning. Will post links to other Kwest pieces as pics go by!
I’m sure there is more, and will add links in future Kwest posts.

In my desire to do a tribute to Nelson Mandela,
I looked for days through my street art collection. I came up with this beautiful Sunflower that has all of the colors of the flag of South Africa in it.
A mandala is a symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the Universe. The basic form of most mandalas is a square containing a circle with a center point.
I found this art in a doorway in Ottawa. The artist is unknown to me.
Good-bye Mr. Mandela, the whole world loves you!
