Last year, I was driving through Robson Street, when I noticed a beautiful mural.  A few seconds later, I drove off, but the picture stayed with me.  It was so creative, colourful, and mesmerizing, that I went home and tried to find it on the internet to see who painted such a unique and creative piece of visual art.  I surprised myself, when I actually found it and I emailed the artist just to compliment the artist for their amazing work, and that something about his Mural on Robson Street made me smile and made me happy, and I wanted to thank him for that.  He is an amazingly talented Coast Salish graphic artist, and his name is Ovila Mailhot.  There is a video link below that leads to his bio, and a link to the mural that caught my eye!
