Alley just west of the old Cadillac Pawn store on East Lake Street in Minneapolis, fall of 2020 after the cleanup from the Chauvin Riots. Many Minneapolis alleys along Lake Street have graffiti art, while some may display paid art murals. Some illegal precursors of these more professional works, i.e. throw-ups, have been spotted around the city, though not apparent for this one. This work reveals thoughtful composition, gradual shading, and multiple perspectives (Photo by Twin Cities Almanac, 2020).
