Deer Diana

The mural is Deer Diana by Alfalfa. You find it by going through an archway beside 642 King St. W. in Toronto into this little courtyard. This is the first step in, coincidentally, one of the projects of the STEPS initiative. Part of the plan here is to "create an integrated network of public laneways showcasing public art. " Well this is a good start, eh? I'll be keeping an eye on this. ====== As rdhinmn points out below, in classical mythology Diana turned Actaeon into a deer, and his hunting dogs killed him. Thanks to Bob for clarifying that. He may so far be the only person other than Alfalfa to get the allusion. ====== About the STEPS initiative: stepsinitiative.com About the mural: stepsinitiative.com/project/deer-diana Alfalfa on Instagram: www.instagram.com/a_l_f_a_l_f_a/?hl=en

It was dark today so I re-edited an old photo. The mural is by Nunca (2009). I fear it may be covered up by a building going up on the parking lot, but don't really know if it will be or not. Update, September 2018: The mural wasn't covered up; it was destroyed. The building it was on was torn down to make way for the new building.
