Sometimes I wonder if the real reason I’m not a more successful artist is that I insist on making niche works which will appeal to, for instance, only those within the intersecting sliver of the venn diagram of people who like the Hollow Knight Silksong family of video games and people who are from Toronto and/or are urban public transit enthusiasts, who will recognise this stop on the TTC. Anyway that’s why I made this a limited edition print.

Minor transit annoyance: an automated voice on the tram saying "Now entering X station, doors to my left/right", but the voice is coming from overhead rather than the front of the car, so you can't orient to anything. Whereas if it was a human making the announcement, you would more easily infer that the speaker is facing the front of the car.

A much greater annoyance was the old TTS PA system used by #SoundTransit (Seattle) Link Light Rail which pronounced it "linklight rail" with the emphasis on "light", making the phrase almost unintelligible.
