All this winter weather had me looking at my photo archives. I realized I haven’t posted a lot of photos that I meant to post. You know all the ones that you kept saying to yourself “I should post that”. February is that kinda month.. the ‘rainy day’ that goes on for 28 days. The month you can get caught up on all they things you didn’t do .. because it’s too damn cold outside (in Canada anyway).
Wall Expressions Murals Project 2017
I figured I would start with these pictures from Wall Expressions 2017 (yeah.. like I said I have a lot of pictures). I’m starting with these pictures because it was during the summer and it was really nice and warm outside back then !
This was for a project organized by Brooke Somer Leigh aka @missladyoops. She organizes this project every year but 2017 was this was the first time I was able to see the artists working live. Brooke does an impressive job organizing this.. everything from going door to door to get the homeowners participation to getting the media involved. It’s a lot of work but somehow she does it seamlessly. The end result is something that stays in the community for years. I’ve found some her these projects many years later and the art for the most part is still intact….
I’ll do these alphabetically for my post:
