Himy and I had such great conversations today; he’s a natural teacher! Definitely a pleasure to see Himy again.

“Talk about amazing artwork on the streets!
I’m so glad I got to experience the awesome vibes at last weekend’s Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market!”
Thanks for stopping by!

Before you can enter the Labyrinth,
Someone has to make it.
So that someone is me,
Holding paint can and brush,
Looking serious and rocking my Kensington Labyrinth T-Shirt in Kensington Market,
While painting Labyrinths on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market in Downtown Toronto . . .
Here I am painting a Heart Labyrinth on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market using the unexpected colour of yellow rather than the expected colours of red or pink when it comes to matters, and Labyrinths, of the Heart.
However,
I did use Red/Pink coloured chalk to outline my Heart Labyrinth design, so maybe this Yellow Heart Labyrinth was really Red/Pink after all ?
Before I even finished painting the outer most line, a couple walked through all the way to the centre where they then stood and kissed each other.
Who needs mistletoe above your head when you have a Heart Labyrinth below your feet !
“No meu último final de semana nessa cidade maravilhosa conheci o Kensington Market.
Um local jovem, descolado, onde você pode encontrar de tudo: comida das mais diversas etnias, peixes, doces, pães, queijos e frios, roupas, flores, e, como não poderia deixar de ser, diversos espaços artísticos cheios de vida e muita música.
Toronto, uma cidade que sempre nos surpreende 🇨🇦”
… AND Labyrinths !
I painted five of them on Augusta Avenue along the east side of Bellevue Square Park on the first official Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.
PSK was suspended during 2020 and 2021 due to the Pandemic.
I (Re)Painted the Labyrinth on Kensington Avenue immediate in front of Courage My Love vintage store.
You can still see a fading ghost outline remnant of my previous Labyrinth painted in White underneath the fresh coat of Green.
Previously, I painted it with the entrance to the Heart Labyrinth in front of Courage My Love, result being that you faced away from the store when entering and arriving in the centre.
That never felt right, neither visually, nor experientially.
So I waited for my Labyrinth to fade on the well driven over Kensington Avenue.
I painted it again, but this time in Green and turned around 180 degrees.
NOW my Heart Labyrinth feels like it belongs properly, on Kensington Avenue.
Thanks for making the world a better place!

Dog Walking beside my Heart Labyrinth passing in front of Courage My Love in Kensington Market . . .
I painted this Labyrinth on Augusta Avenue last year. . .
This last Sunday of 2020,
Would have been this year’s final Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.
Alas,
Car-Free Days were axed this year.
Hopefully PSK can return in 2021.
From this side of Kensington Avenue looking towards Courage My Love,
My Heart Labyrinth looks upside down.
Next time I paint the Heart Labyrinth here,
I’ll paint it right side up . . .
Heart Labyrinth I recently painted on Kensington Avenue in front of Courage My Love . . .
The formerly Red Labyrinth I painted on Augusta Avenue during the August 2019 Pedestrian Sunday,
I later repainted with many colours . . .
