9/100 - Caesar
Caesar was busy painting a beautiful mural on the wall of a coffee shop in Toronto and I just had to go back and ask him about his artwork. He removed his headphones and explained that this was a job commissioned by the owner of the coffee shop and he had "won" the job over several other artists who had competed for it.
He told me that he is a graduate of the local art college and enjoys doing art projects with children as well as large-scale projects such as this one. He showed me some of his portfolio on his smart phone and the paintings were large and remarkably detailed. Caesar told me this job was set to take 5 days to complete and that he can't paint when the temperature drops near the freezing point because the paint will not adhere.
He liked the idea of the 100 Strangers Project but it took a bit of coaxing to get him to show me his face for the photo. It was a very nice interaction and he encouraged me to return in a few days to see the finished product.
Thank you Caesar for helping me with my project and for becoming Stranger #9.
