Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

I find eight-bit-style images created from Post-It notes inexplicably alluring. Spotted this specimen in the window of an office building in Edmonton last week.

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Rolled up to Edmonton this past weekend for a quick visit with a friend. While out on a photowalk, I found this crew working on a “Canada 150” sign outside city hall. It looks as if they have all the pieces to unscramble Edmonton’s biggest anagram.

Brussels, Belgium

A suggestion spotted on the streets of Belgium, as I passed through there on my way from Amsterdam to Paris in September 2012.

Here’s Alice et. al. having a grand old time in this mural along S.E. Division Street in Portland, Oregon. Snapped this about a month ago.

Taste of Cuba, Phoenix, Arizona

This depiction of Havana, Cuba, adorns a wall alongside an access ramp to a parking garage in downtown Phoenix … and there’s no apparently obvious reason why this is here. (Was there a Cuban restaurant or social club here, once upon a time?) Image captured back in April.

Warehouse District, Phoenix, Arizona

This is among a handful of activism-inspired wall art in the Warehouse District, south of the office towers in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Spotted this on my visit to the city last month.
