Queen St Mural


I spotted this mural of a Queen St streetcar just off Queen St West and was lucky enough to catch these 3 people checking it out too. They seem to fit right in to the scene. The artist for this mural are Allan Bender & John Nobrega for Blinc Studios who seem to have done a lot of murals in Canada and the US.

  5. Am I being too pedantic to point out that the streetcar has been transformed into a right-hand drive?
    Never mind, it is very cool.

  9. Looks like a streetcar line between two buildings. Capture perfectly, looks like those three are thinking of jumping onto the car. I too like that dog.

  15. Woah... that looks frighteningly real, I would be jumping out of the way!

  16. I don't know if it's the way you've taken the shot but that definitely looks almost 3D Pat, like a trompe-l'oeil. Fantastic to have the three observers in the shot too.

  18. Now, that's a great work, the perspective is amazing! I agree with you, the people add so much to the pic.

  19. Wow - the perspective really is amazing. It took me a few moments to realize that the wall was flat and I wasn't looking down an alley. How fabulous.
