Hey Howdy!

Street art around Yonge and Isabella, Toronto. Shot with my new Android phone ;-)

I have to say the majority of graffiti I see I don't like, I find it destructive and ugly. But once in a while I see something that makes me smile. Steve Powers equals great street art, check out a Maker Monday post at Janel Holiday Design for an interview with him including snappy photos from his series A love Letter For You.

 

Harlequins

I have to admit I am a sucker for harlequins and I don't mean the romance novels. I'm also pretty keen on paint by numbers...really a genius invention, if you ask me. I once painted a 3' x 4' paint by number canvas of the Eiffel Tower. Using an overhead projector I traced hundreds of numbered cells onto the large canvas. It took a surprisingly long time to complete but was awfully satisfying. It now hangs in view from my bathroom so I can admire it while I spend time curling my hair.  I can say I would take on another one as a project, perhaps even this design.
