Sonic The Hedgehog...



One for the video game enthusiasts. When he first hit the small screen in 1991, the 'fastest hedgehog in the world' became 'an icon for a generation of gamers'. Painted here by Perth artist Idol Motions in August this year, Sonic The Hedgehog spotted in West Leederville. I thought the 'hedgehog in a hurry' was old school, but no way.. the super cool blue speedster is as popular globally today as he was over twenty years ago, check out his Facebook page. Hands up anyone who's 'played' with the nippy adventurer :) Happy Monday, take care and stay safe.. p.s. note the #chooselife.. I like!
