Murals large and small have been sprouting like mushrooms around the city in the past few years. On the smaller side, it started with the painting of the ubiquitous short stout Bell phone boxes but colourful corner artworks now come in a new shape. Traffic signal cabinets, which normally sit quietly at intersections, invisible in plain view, are the targets of a new initiative by StreetARToronto. In 2013 they commissioned local artists to liven up 30 of these boxes. This great box is by Allan Ryan, aka Uber5000.
