Yeeeeaaahhhh…. This was kinda weird. I really did not want to have my picture taken like this, yet I didn’t feel I had any choice. You might be able to tell that by the look on my face. Reflecting on it, This was the perhaps the first time I had a Vancouver experience here in … Continue reading “Thanks to HiMY for the “Labyrinth Street Art”” – Heart Labyrinth – Augusta Avenue – Kensington Market – Downtown Toronto – Pedestrian Sunday July 30 2023 →
Saturday Afternoon spent chalking three Labyrinths in and around the Central Playground of Brampton’s Chinguacousy Park. I was so focused on making the Labyrinths, I only took a few photographs. And altogether forgot to take any photographs of my third Labyrinth, a pass-through baltic design closer to the spray pad area. It was that time … Continue reading Chalk Labyrinths – Central Playground – Chinguacousy Park – Brampton →

“Supposedly back in the Viking days there were many of these rock mazes by sea shores to trap evil spirits. Here’s how they worked: A Viking slowly walked in the maze. His evil spirit followed him in. The Viking then started speeding up and running and eventually ran out of the maze. Because bad spirits … Continue reading “Supposedly back in the Viking days there were many of these rock mazes by sea shores to trap evil spirits…” – Kirsi Rebekka Halme – Vikingeskibsmuseet i Roskilde, Denmark →
In Toronto, parents and grandparents bring their Little Ones and their push-bikes to waterless Wading Pools to teach them how to ride a bike. The Lines I paint in Toronto’s Wading Pools then double-purpose the Wading Pools into Labyrinths, which then triple-purposes them as Bike-Riding teaching spaces. Though this Labyrinth I re-painted in East Vancouver … Continue reading “The latest biker in the family 🤘🏻” – Labyrinth – Strathcona Linear Park – Hawkes Avenue – East Vancouver →

The Labyrinth I recently Re-painted in East Vancouver. The Labyrinth Maker’s house is in the background. He painted it white.

A grandfather, who for several years … Continue reading “New paint on the Labyrinth :)” – Strathcona Linear Park – Hawkes Avenue – East Vancouver →

It’s Care-Free Weekend in North Vancouver! Just found out about it at the last minute and found my way there… Very much a Pedestrian Sundays Vibe with a GIANT Waterslide running downhill. Found an empty intersection and chalked a late-in-the-day Labyrinth.
Exploring East Vancouver, I walked far enough east along Hastings Avenue, passing Boundary Road and wound up in Burnaby. Exploring side streets introduced me to Confederation Park. It’s huge and Multi-Purpose. Found an empty spot of asphalt in the middle of a playground. Took my time with measurements and the result was a nice 11 … Continue reading Confederation Park Playground Labyrinth – Burnaby, B.C. →
Chalked an 11 Lane Labyrinth in MacLean Park in the Strathcona Neighbourhood of East Vancouver.
I visited Glen Park, in an East Vancouver Neighbourhood I was familiar with back when I was here in 1996. Encountering such a huge wide patch of asphalt was too tempting to leave alone. Out popped the chalk, up sprang a Labyrinth, round and round the children ran.
