That’s me painting my first Labyrinth of the Day, on Kensington Avenue in Kensington Market on Pedestrian Sunday . . .
It was HOT.
Then suddenly, as I finished painting this multi-colour Street Labyrinth, a few drops of rain began to cool down the heat.
With the ground now wet, I opted to walk north through the Market towards Augusta Avenue, where I intended to re-paint the three now faded Labyrinths I had painted one month ago, during the previous Pedestrian Sunday.
Labyrinth I painted on Augusta Avenue during the June 2019 Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market became a stage/venue for a collaboration between World Travelling Street Performers Duckman and Hero-san . . .
In a tiny way, through the presence of my Labyrinth, I collaborated too !
Yay!
“Clearly not enough time within the world of Pedestrian Sunday but you have a feeling that there is a future for streets without cars.
It’s the the best parts of the Open Streets TO concept and long standing street festivals like Taste Of The Danforth;
Would very much enjoy City of Toronto giving over more control of our streets to the people.
Where we can remove the need for cars, let’s do it.
Creating spaces to create & inspire, to buy & sell, to meet people, friends and strangers, let’s do it.”
And who can resist a Mom asking if her Little One can walk a still-being-painted Labyrinth ?
Not I.
He and his mom were the first walkers of my first of two Labyrinths painted on Kensington Avenue . . .
My month old Street Labyrinth painted on Augusta Avenue doubles as stage venue for Herosan The Japanese Street Performer . . .
The Street Labyrinth I painted one month ago is holding up pretty well on Augusta Avenue in Kensington Market.
I might leave it as is and not re-paint until it really fades . . .
The three Labyrinths I painted on Augusta Avenue in Kensington Market remain car-free as there is no regular parking on either side of the street . . .
Bonus: The colours haven’t fully faded yet!
Still walk-able.
yay!
That’s me painting the first of four Labyrinths on Augusta Avenue on the last Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market . . .
I’m already working out Labyrinth designs for the next Pedestrian Sunday on July 28 2019, placing it in a different area of Kensington Market to mix things up for the kids . . .
Ownership of the Restaurant which commissioned me to paint a small Labyrinth in front of their place, has changed.
New owners painted over the name of the former Vietnamese Sandwich shop, whose name I had included in the original design.
They kept the Labyrinth . . .
Saw three new labyrinths in Kensington Market today and I knew instantly that @HiMYSYeD had been in town! 💛🌀 pic.twitter.com/2hjvQLEmUh

That’s me painting Mindfulness . . .
One of four Labyrinths I painted on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.
Image captured before I filled in the Heart with another colour and before adding turquoise aglets at each of the turns.
