I love the way this looks like a sketch on a wall.
The female face is fab.
There is also a male profile. He appears to be praying.
Here is the entire image. There is no artist signature. There is a red # message.
Did the artist put the # message there? Is the # message a tag?
Eye think the # message is a TAG! With or without the #message, I also think there is a message in here, but have no real idea what.

Graffiti Alley is changing.
Old buildings are being torn down. New ones are going up.
Still, it seems to be embracing street art, but will the hardcore graffiti disappear?
This En Masse mural is in the parking entrance to a new building.
Above, a Poser Bunny welcomes us. Poser’s Bunnies go way back, and are an old fave of mine.
Lots to cover in this one. Here are some of my faves.
The ceiling is a work of craziness.
I put the rest in a slideshow for my hardcore street art pals.

There was a second floor of fun mayhem, but I couldn’t get up there, yet.
If poems were gowns, Holly would need a mansion to keep hers in! Maybe 2 mansions.
I thought I knew what was happening to earth’s animals. Now I know what I knew, but better.
Through the use of syllabic poetry, photography, video and text, Robbie takes us on a learning tour of South Africa’s creatures and their environment. I even learned a new term: Sixth Mass extinction.
I don’t know much about poetic structures, but I know what poetry I like when I read it. I like all of Robbie’s poems, even when the message is haunting.
I also know I love animals. Please enjoy Robbie’s videos! They are only a few seconds long.
Robbie teaches about the BIG FIVE: Rhinos, Lions, Elephants, Leopards and African Buffalo.
Did you know Rhinos cry tears when poachers dehorn them?
It’s sad that when teaching about animals we need to teach also about their impending demise. Back away, or put your head in the sand and be part of the problem!
Did you know there are White Lions? They are not albino, but rather white due to “a recessive trait called leucism.”
Robbie has confirmed that the lion at the foot of the tree in the following video of a “Lion in a Tree”, is a white lion. She also says that she has never seen a lion climb a tree before. Imagine having seen enough lions in your life that you could make that statement?
Living in captivity is necessary for survival of many. This baby leopard is so cute, a delight to witness.
Robbie teaches about the UGLY FIVE: Warthog, Vulture, Wildebeest, Marabou Stork and Hyena.
There are many other mammals included in her book: Cheetahs, Wildebeests, Tigers, Wild Dogs, Hyenas, Jackals, Antelope, Monkeys, Giraffes, Lizards, Flamingos and more. She does not forget insects, sunflowers, bushes, fires and all that contribute.
“The Nutcracker” is a short story at the end of the book that for me tied my experience together. Yes, this book is an experience, not just a read.
I would have gluttonously included all of her videos in this post, but have controlled myself. You can find her African Animal videos on her Youtube Channel.

From Marina Kanavaki at Art Towards a Happy day, here is the third sign of the Zodiac as imagined by Anakreon Kanavakis, Marina’s father. Seeing each astrological sign go by, in a drawing by him, is adding another joy to my life.
Today is the first day of Gemini, the third sign of the Zodiac.
Gemini is amutable air sign, ruled by Mercury.
Quick-witted and sociable they are always ready for fun [or not!] with a curiosity about the world that knows no bounds …but is there enough time?!
Starting from the last [12th] sign, I’ll be posting these original illustrations, Anakreon Kanavakis created for a calendar. [check it out here]
I love these so much, I designed a whole set of products with them at my art shop.
Here are a few.
Found this on the side of a big ol’ house in an alley.
The alley was narrow, so I shot mostly on an angle.
Love the colours.
Made the alley come alive!

Let’s see! 5,000 tasty ticks per season.
Each season is about 90 days.
5000 ÷ 90 = 55.555555555555556
So, the opossum eats about 56 ticks a day.
That doesn’t seem like a meal.
Must be their snacks.
