John Lorinc of Space magazine online and the Globe and Mail has tweeted pictures of art used in Philadelphia transit shelters. The painted parrot the left is a sample. The idea, as we understand it, is to perhaps improve the streetscape and elevate the minds of your ordinary commuter. The Bulldog is a simple canine, a dog of ordinary tastes and therefore not qualified to judge such things definitively. But honestly, the 2012 hacked version of a Toronto shelter sign (centre) is more interesting than the art. Quite good for a laugh. The sentiment declares that “The World of Advertisement (sic) Creates Artificial Desires.” Finally, the bottle of orange flavoured Listerine is just hilarious. Love it. You may sure it will inspire neither artificial nor genuine desire in the Bulldog. Hope they put one at Millwood and Bayview.
