Occasional Toronto: Random

Random

I spotted this mural on a garage door in a laneway just off Dundas St W and at first though it was an official sign. But no, it is a mural by the artist Random, aka Spencer Harrington, who has done many murals around town. I like the childish hand and the coloured crayons. Not sure what is supposed to mean though.

Jackie McGuinness said...: So realistic!; November 30, 2015 at 10:11 AM
Lowell said...: It is meant to make fun of our political types who cry "Danger, danger" to rile up the common folks and gain their votes. Kind of like "crying wolf." And you can write in, with the big crayon, whatever "danger" you can dream up.

Well, that's my take on it!

genie said...: I really like this one and I noticed those crayons right off the bat. Guess it is the school teacher in me. If I picked up one crayon yesterday while subbing in kindergarten, I picked up 20. I agree that the hand is childlike, too.; December 2, 2015 at 9:18 AM
