You know how much I love a good mural… especially when it’s inside a fun restaurant with yummy food! It was my first time having “real” ramen at Ika San in Omaha! So the murals inside were beautiful… and the bowl of ramen was too!

A fun mural in a side alley…
layers of colorful characters peeking, peering & smirking back at’cha!!!

We had a surprisingly warm day here in Chicago today… lots of sun & lots of melting! And the perfect opportunity to get back out on my bike for another wonderful afternoon ride along the lakefront!

Love this mural on Chicago’s West side
honoring the sixteenth President.

A cute little mural I found this morning along the lakefront. Looks like Minnie has been hanging around there for awhile now… and I’m loving how the paint looks so weathered & aged.

Across the street from the studio…
Let’s just hope that “someone” knows what any of this means?!!!

I always love stumbling across some beautiful street art… or in this case, alley art. I found these graffiti murals on the east side of the Red Line train track between Rosemont & Granville. It’s my neighborhood, but I’ve never run across these ones before?!!!

And what’s YOUR punchline?!
To go with this cool, kinda-retro mural in the Bucktown Neighborhood.

Even though Chicago is entering Phase Four today… we still all need to dig deep to stay safe, stay focused and get through this together. Getting closer… but we’re not out of the woods yet!
