You may have come across this little guy (or versions of him) on the internet or throughout several locations around the city.  If not, let us introduce you to the BlankBoy Canvas project.  Our homie James Robertson has curated an amazing exhibit for the people of Toronto.  Robertson is involved in numerous creative/artistic projects across the globe.   He got together with Danny Yung & Curious and Creative to bring this collection to life.   The initiative empowers collective creative collaboration concluding in Hong Kong 2016 with an exhibit and auction.  

DANNY YUNG & TIAN TIAN: Danny Yung, well known experimental artist, is the creator of the Tian Tian Xiang Shang comics and the Tian Tian character himself.   He is one of the most influential artists in Hong Kong.  Tian Tian is the character that is used for this canvas.
