Corridor of Connection

A lot of visual appeal on the walls of the 4th Street S.E. underpass, which connects Calgary’s East Village and Victoria Park neighbourhoods.

Family unit

Some distinctive art features added to the streetlights in Phoenix, Arizona, as captured on a visit there in 2015.

Conz

Eating time

Someone put up this sticker along Kensington Road in Calgary, back in the spring. Whoever it is, they didn’t get their wish.

A figure harkening back to the Old West seems to have been applied randomly on a wall in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal district, as seen back in winter 2020.
