Fiona’s Faces

I’m ecstatic to present the Graf Photography of Fiona Milne!

Fiona has her own graffiti blog FIONA FERRET GRAFFITI – THE WRITING ON THE WALL You’ll want to follow!

Her shots are taken in and around Sheffield, England.

I’ve followed her since I began GLaM & finally asked if she’d consider sharing some of her work with all of us over here.

She is so lovely! She sent me links to 6 of her posts, and said I could present what & how I wanted. What a thrill for me!

There are scads of pics. I won’t be able to post them all, even in the 2 or 3 parts I am planning….

….so I have put links to all 6 of her posts at the end of this post.

Dead Man’s Garden

On July 12, 2015July 12, 2015 By ResaIn Guests, Murals, Street Art26 Comments

Maria from Tropical Flowering Zone is a GLaM Rockstar! Check this out!

“This is my favorite mural it has no name so I call it “Deadman’s Garden”. It depicts a man growing a plant out of his chest cavity.”

“The man is dead with his head covered. The plant, however, has no flower, but a heart is depicted as being the bloom.”

The bird on the dead man’s legs is a San Pedrito (Puerto Rican Tody), an endemic bird on the island found nowhere else in the world.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

“The heart was painted with lots of detail. Perhaps there is an analogy of the heart with the flower since both need air; the plants through transpiration, and humans through respiration.”

Bill, from BW Thoughts & BW Fiction sent us this fab historical mural. (worth a click for a better look!)

Circa 1870, Mr Pullman built a town so the factory workers in his factory could have clean air, running water, plumbing & good schools for their kids.

He financed the town with bonds & charged the people rent. The company did all the maintenance and kept the houses, landscaping and parks clean & pristine.

Then came a recession. He cut wages. but didn’t cut rents. This started the rail-road strikes. Pullman was reviled, became called despicable & un-American.
Now, over 100 years later, some of these houses are still in use.

THANK YOU BILL!

And Thank you for allowing me to paraphrase your words!

Puerto Rican Iguana

On June 27, 2015 By ResaIn Graffiti Art, Guests, Street Art22 Comments

Maria from Tropical Flowering Zone has also sent us this Iguana.

“This mural has very good technique. It depicts a Green Iguana, officially declared as an ‘invasive species’ on the island. The unknown artists of this mural painted the Iguana as a huge monster holding a Coqui Frog in its hand. “

“Here you can see the detail of the Iguana holding the Coqui Frog. The truth of the matter is that Green Iguanas do not attack Coquis, so at the time this mural was painted, there was a misconception of the Green Iguana and the reptile, which has been stigmatized ever since. The Green Iguana is a beautiful reptile and its diet is strictly vegetarian. I love Green Iguanas and will do anything to rescue and protect them from being harmed.”
