Maple Moonrise is the first Art Gown I’ve made in almost 2 years. She is inspired by and dedicated to my friend, Rebecca Budd.

Her Thank-you below moved me greatly.

On By ResaIn Reblogs, Street Art, Thank You's

Thank you once again to Ruth at FLIX CHATTER, for having me over to guest post on EMMY Costume Nominations!

Special 2026 EMMYS Post: PALM ROYALE Costume Design Appreciation by Emmy Voter Resa McConaghy

EGADS!!!

I’m mad about the costumes for Palm Royale. Kudos to Alix Friedberg & her team! Check out some of the spectacular work in the most entertaining video below!

Head over to Ruth’s to check out why I think these costumes are winners,

…..

and why Love Story could be the bomb!

A Belated Thank You

A while back Ruth sent me a surprise gift.

  • Love the print on this handy drawstring bag w/ pouches
  • It looked like a beaded change purse
  • But when I opened it, it was a sewing kit!
  • Close up of bead work
  • It all came in a cotton tote w/ a map of Indonesia. Ruth was born in Jakarta on the island of Java.
Thank you again to Ruth, and LOVE & PEACE to all!

Two 2-Faced Faces

With Four – 2-faced bonuses

Not the nicest hole between walls, but these faces lured me in.

With all the trash underfoot, a dumpster and strange fire escape to nowhere, It was difficult to get clear head on shots.

It seemed like it would be fun to mix and match the half faces.

More recently,

..this half face popped up in my hood.

Above is a slideshow of all the half faces on their own. I matched them all different. Now, there are 6 altogether.

Presenting – the 4 mismatched up half heads!

Home Is Where the Art Is

One Sunday all I had to do for the art show was to pick up a couple small things. The place was only 4.5 km. from home, so I walked.

There and back was only 5.6 miles, a perfect walk on the first nice day in a long time.

It was an odd location, with no visible street art as I walked there.

I took a different route on the way home,

.. and found art.

I also found the artists working on the art.

I spent some time chatting with each artist.

They were generous with their time, and let me take some pics of them working.

It felt good to be back in my street art shoes. It felt like home.

Note: The Art Show is open for another week, but there is someone else babysitting it. Wrap out is the week after. Then I can make a post about it!

🎉 HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉

Hi there! I’m Bricks, and that there back-up pigeon behind me is Nicks. We’ve been rhabdomancing around the hood, searching for this year’s water supply, but what do we find instead?

Nicks– Slogans, advice, info, euphemisms, catchphrases, idioms, shibboleth, jargon, information, direction, reminders … like –

OR

Bricks -So, while we are walkin’ the walk and gettin’ the straight street talk, we figure we might as well pass it on to you humans. After all, you need it more than we do.

Nicks – Yeah, you humans need to chill out!

Bricks – That’s right. Slow down and Inhale/Exhale!

Nicks – Be Kind -Unwind!

Bricks – Of course some of the information can be disturbing.

Nicks – You mean like this one?

Nicks – How can anyone on the planet be illegal? Yet, we need to be reminded?

Bricks – Yeah, the reminders can be pointed. BUT some messages are more positive Euphemisms, like –

AND

AND

AND

Nicks – Well, are they euphemisms or advice or sayings?

Bricks– You’re makin’ me think to hard, and thinkin’s like work. You know what they say!

Bricks – But of course you’ll just keep asking questions, makin’ me think. You just can’t stop!

Bricks – Won’t Stop!

Nicks – That’s right! So, are we doves, Bricks? I want to be a dove? Can we be doves?

Bricks – YES! We are doves; big, fat, colourful street doves. But why do you care?

Nicks – Because I want to wish everyone PEACE & LOVE in this New Year!

Bricks – Well, that’s a dream.

Nicks – If I can dream it, I can live it!

Bricks – I’m down with that!
