Street Art | Common Ground
Toronto No matter where I’ve gone, street art is always present and is most always interesting. Some is clearly created by more professional-level artists (like the one below- obviously the work of a master). Yes, I believe those are what you think they are.

Vintage Souvenir Mailbags
Evidently quite the popular item at American tourist spots during the early years of the last century, the souvenir mail pouch must have been a nice surprise for the recipient when opening the mailbox.

The Lakeview 1932 | Toronto Dining

Like the above portrait and the few others scattered through the below abstract pieces, he has a gift for successfully creating such complex pattern among detailed backgrounds and shadows. The pieces [...]
The 4:30 Movie
Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty in Bonnie & Clyde As a young boy growing up in the 1970′s and 80′s in the New York area, ABC’s The 4:30 Movie was a staple for my afternoons after school. Whether it was Plant of the Apes, various war movies, James Bond marathons, the original Batman movies, or [...]
