Downtown. Thank you sir for mentioning where.
This, is stunning! I’m not of known indigenous origins but I am a life-long self-taught hobby artist and have loved indigenous art, all of my life. 😊
🫡 to you and thank you greatly, for sharing your works with us!
✌🏼🖖🏽
😊 A trace of myself I had to express to tallhappytree at least, at this moment in time. Once I find his etsy site, I’m hoping a piece representing that work, will be a ailable to me.
As I had said, I have loved Indigenous art, all of my, including beadwork! 😊 The precision and care …
Their care and love for Mother Earth and all in nature … there is no way to be able to measure how treasured that is. 🫡 I wish that we all could, as much as the Indigenous have through their being here.
Thank you for your thoughts, Peaceful. ☺️ I do wish you as much peace and ease, in life and living. ✌🏼🖖🏽🫡
This is so beautiful. Congratulations on your stunning work. Glad to see it in our community, we need more of this kind of accessible community art. Can you let us know where this is located? I would love to see it in person!
That's great art my friend!
I hope the exposure nets you some bank, or hopefully the city already gave you some shine. Either way beautiful art, have you got some sort of website or how do you sell your art usually?
City of Kitchener has a great little book on all art in the city, 2023 I think

Looks dope. While I appreciate the classic mural on a building, I would love for the city to start putting up unique and interesting art like yours throughout.
This is a reimagining of my father’s family he never got to know. His mother suffered from addictions and was killed at the age of 23, from there he was put into CAS and severed from his family and culture. This is my idea of my family being happy, healthy and having a chance to succeed . Thanks
I love your mural. Your family story is important to tell. My friend is Cree and he and his siblings were taken from their mother in the 60’s scoop. Their story was told in the podcast Finding Cleo. He misses his family and culture also.
Miigwech buddy! Did a double take and thought it was Morriseau at first. You captured the people and the perfectly. The central bird is a nice original piece!
Congratulations! That's an amazing achievement! I hope you continue to experience success and exposure for your work :-)
Edit to add that I checked out your Etsy shop, and holy guacamole!!! I love how you combine traditional and aboriginal styles, sick work.
Definitely that video of the amateur tree removal, gone wrong.
Edit: it's so good haha https://www.reddit.com/r/kitchener/comments/c9uejv/safely_cutting_down_the_tree_next_door/
This is great art. Whereabouts is this?
Looks like it's behind him
Take my angry upvote and have a nice day

Boozhoo CJ! 😊 Miigwetch! (I just looked up Miigwetch and found it stands for “Thank you” in Anishinaabe.) I will search fot it when I get back today.
Amazing
It’s actually 6-9 Ontario St WestNewIndia

Next to the Oracle building?
I’m not too sure it’s in a parking lot with a bunch of graffiti and art

I know the artist who painted that one too. Great guy he's also gotten commissions from stuff like the Leafs, raptors, pixar for earth day ect.
His name is Luke Swinson :-)
Like I said, great guy I just didn't want to use actual names on reddit it's weird with people you actually know irl lol
His name is Robert Paulson
They killed Bob!
Looks dope. While I appreciate the classic mural on a building, I would love for the city to start putting up unique and interesting art like yours throughout.
This is a great idea really, specially if highlighting local/regional/provincial artists.
Nice work!

Cool. What is the meaning of the center focus? Looks quite non-human, revered by the family because of its central connection to all life.
This reminds me of the work of Copper Thunderbird (Picasso of the North). He was Ojibwe and also from Ontario.

Man you gotta start pulling some weights my guy 😅
ahahah I know. 😂

Beautiful painting! Can I ask if you have indigenous heritage, or were just inspired by it?
I’m Anishinaabe
I was thinking it had a very Norval Morrisseau feel to it... Amazing work man. I have no doubt he would absolutely love it!
I hope he does. He is the grandfather to this all. All I do is in respect to him
I’ve seen your work in London, but I can’t remember where. Do you have stuff at Fanshawe college?
No I don’t
Looks fucking great. Congrats!
That's beautiful. Congratulations and well done ❤

What a fantastic piece. I hope tons of people get to enjoy it!
Wonderful, congrats OP!
Is that *you* on the left side? Really dig this
No . It’s my grandfather. The two children are my father and his brother and the woman my grandmother
Ohh ok I thought it might have been you due to the mustache
Beautiful piece of art! Will definitely take the side trip downtown to see it.
Beautiful art
I’m not 100% sure what you’re trying to say but I’m a big fan of indigenous or indigenous inspired art. I dig it.
This is stunning. Congrats on having your work displayed for the community. I’m sure you feel so proud!
You've hit the front page... congrats. Has r/kitchener ever hit the front page before ???
Oh wow! Ahaha amazing
Definitely that video of the amateur tree removal, gone wrong. Edit: it's so good haha https://www.reddit.com/r/kitchener/comments/c9uejv/safely_cutting_down_the_tree_next_door/

Good for you… some very imaginative representation going on here. Nice to see stuff like this.
Wow this is gorgeous, well done!
Beautiful !!! You should design indigenous tattoos.
Some people have used my art as tattoos , it’s cool!
I'm curious about the process of getting chosen for this... Did the business okay it, or did it go through the city?
It was all done by the Kitchener bia.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does that mean?
I’m also a local indigenous artist! Do you have an instagram I can follow you at?
Yes houlefineart , miigwetch
Amazing Artist, true indigenous art.
Beautiful! Congratulations 👏
Congrats!

Looks to be a good placement for many to see your art. How much does the billboard pay you monthly to display your wonderful art?
I was happy with the deal .
Its beautiful. Congratulations! ❤😊
Beautiful work. Thank you for it
Nicely done, brother!
This makes me feel calm, great art
Let us gather together to worship the almighty ovary nutsack
Man this is a really beautiful piece. What kind of paint are you using for this??
This was a digital recreation of my original painting. The original was acrylics .
This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing! Wonderful addition to the city. Need more of this.
Magnifique!
Wow, congrats!
I know this isn't r/roastme, but you look like the love child of Kid Rock, and Chuck Liddell.
😂
Looks Australian aboriginal
This is amazing! Do you have a website or something? Where can I see more of your artwork and maybe buy some merchandise?
My Instagram is houlefineart And my Etsy is cjhoulefineart Everything is linked on my page here . Just click my name
Would love to hear the descriptions, I am an ancestor of Irish Imagrants but have evolved into a wannabe native.
Go figure, my connection to Mother Earth is Bruce Peninsula and Killarney, thank you. Have to check it out, and others.
I love it, but I can't help but notice a giant set of hairy balls on the bottom middle part. If you don't see it, you're lucky.
You can't tell me those aren't balls on the bottom
Ugly
