graffiti on a wall, a lovebot sticker, a tbonez sticker, and the words How do you really feel?

Nice of you to ask, I’m feeling fine thank you very much.  But I think the little man in the top corner is feeling angry.

Right below little angry smoker is a tiny tbonez character, masked ninja, from the Urban Ninja Squadron.  These little ninja guys are popping up all over.

below: Another ninja, this time Carbon Freezing Chamber Ninja.

below: On the bottom, another member of the Urban Ninja Squadron, this time Moose Ninja. I’m not sure who is responsible for the top paste-up but their signature is a skull on top of two crossed daggers.

two paste ups on a red brick wall. the lover one is a tbonez character in his blue suit and grey mask, with hands beside face like going na na na na, can't catch me. or else hands look like moose antlers. upper paste up is a person's head. signature on upper one is like a skull over cross bones.

a mural by Troy Lovegates of people floating past, also lots of coloured circles

below: Feeling perplexed.  Me that is, not sure about how this guy feels although I get the impression he wants some milk, otherwise he’s a mystery.   Sometimes I wonder what goes through the heads of mural artists.

Feeling silly.

below: This guy’s definitely feeling happy!  It’s a bright, cheerful and contagious kind of happiness too.

May all your monsters make you smile!

      yikes. I’m not sure I remember. On the side of a building on a corner – Queen West & something? Sorry.

        I found it! It’s actually right by my old work, haha. I hadn’t been in Toronto for about a year, so I was surprised to see they’d repainted the convenience store there! FYI it’s at Queen and Bellwoods Ave, north side. Also someone’s graffitied a portion of it 😦
