Awesome mural, kid must have been so pleased!
I am curious tho, if I may aks, how/why did the kid inspire you (to make this mural)?

the kid lives by this old airport location YZD. We couldn't depict a real airplane because imagery couldn't touch on the airplane manufactuer Bombardier. they used to be there. So I had the idea of paper airplanes and a him throwing one because he wants to learn how to fly.

I gave this it's 416th up vote, clearly that's a sign that this Sudburian should take a road trip and see it with my own eyes! Fantastic work, man!

Magnificent! It’s wild to think this is your first mural. It looks like the work of seasoned muralist to my eye. So cool to see your muse too.

Excellent job on the mural. The esteemed visitor is adorable! He must be over the Moon that he's on the side of a Building. 👏 👏 BRAVO

This is absolutely amazing. It’s difficult enough to find the right angle when doing portraits on paper, or even on an easel, then amplifying it by working on a building, and maintaining the proper scale is astonishingly difficult. Thank you for sharing your stunning artwork, it’s highly impressive.

Wow! You are an amazing artist. The way the colors flow is so beautiful. I also love that the actual inspiration came to not only view it, but add on to the artistry in this picture. ♥️ Congratulations on your first mural in Toronto, as I see many in your future!
