Uber5000 Mural - Victoria Park

This is one small detail of a fabulous wrap around building-sized mural unveiled last summer at the corner of Victoria Park and Kingston Road. It was done by Toronto based artist Uber5000, aka Allan Ryan, and it was commissioned as part of the City's efforts to combat graffiti. Every bit of the mural is fun and whimsical but I love this part in particular for its clever incorporation of building infrastructure. In case it's difficult to make out in the picture, the artist has transformed some clunky hardware on the side of the building in to a large gold medallion.
