Five years ago, muralist Uber5000 covered two sides of a building along Graffiti Alley with pictures of fish and ocean life. When he returned to paint a third wall this summer, he opted for a different approach: a snapshot of Toronto and all its quirkiest characters. “I came up with all these little Easter eggs and stories that I wanted to throw in,” he says. “It has something of a Where’s Waldo? feel about it.” The artist spent four weekends in the Harhay Construction Management parking lot next door painting.
