I’ve never accepted that my painted Labyrinths are Graffiti nor even Murals.
They stand apart.
They are their own thing.
They are interactive, you can walk through my Street Labyrinths.
Yet they are also visual, you can enjoy looking at them or looking at people walking them.
Sidewalk Push-ups beside the Heart Labyrinth . . .
Outer lanes of the pass-through Labyrinth I painted on Kensington Avenue by Fitzroy Terrace in Kensington Market, Downtown Toronto during the July 2019 Pedestrian Sunday.
In the top left of this image, looking closely, you can just make out the upside down Heart in the Centre of the Labyrinth.
The painted Yellow line is the curb signifying a no-parking zone.
It was Shamez’s request/suggestion that I paint at least one Labyrinth exactly here.
That way, no cars should ever be parked atop this Street Labyrinth.
The Labyrinth should remain walkable 24 / 7 !
This photograph confirms Shamez was correct . . .
Up close and in the distance, two Labyrinths I painted on Kensington Avenue during the July 2019 Pedestrian Sunday . . .
This is the Labyrinth at the north end of Augusta Avenue in Kensington Market that I painted and then re-painted during the past two Pedestrian Sundays.
Despite weeks and weeks of vehicular traffic, the colour, design, and motifs have remained intact.
If I am out there again next Pedestrian Sunday on August 25 2019, I may refresh it with some new colours . . .
Almost a full month has pase, yet the Labyrinth I painted on Kensington Avenue for the previous Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market is still there . . .

Labyrinths I painted on Augusta Avenue in Kensington Market remain vibrant and walkable . . .
But watch for cars !!!
It is challenging to both use one’s smartphone device and successfully walk a Labyrinth at the same time . . .
Friends don’t let Friends Walk Labyrinths with their devices in hand !
This was the final Labyrinth I painted on the July 2019 Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.
It’s located on Kensington Avenue, placed mostly in front of a laneway exiting onto the street.
The asphalt is crackly and didn’t make a very good candidate for a Street Labyrinth canvas.
Yet because it is in front of a no parking zone, due to the laneway exit, it is an ideal location for a Labyrinth that can remain car-free at all hours outside of Pedestrian Sunday.
Here is Duckman performing on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market.
The Yellow colour of the Labyrinth I painted matches the Yellow of Duckman‘s Costume . . .
I painted this heart at the entrance of my Baltic Wheel Labyrinth Design on Kensington Avenue during the most recent Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.
Round edges on either side of the Heart belong to the outer most turns during one’s Labyrinth walk . . .
I splash of blue or turquoise would improve my painted Labyrinth here on Kensington Avenue . . .
Aw well. Next time.
