Recently, Teagan Ríordáin Genevienefrom Teagan’s Books offered free copies of her book; “The Glowing Pigs – Snort Stories of Atonement, Tennessee”to her readers.
Teagan thought that the the shorts of her magical glowing pigs would brighten up some of our days during isolation. As for me, I love love loved it, and am still basking in the glow. I have gone through my pics to find art of pigs, and return some of the whimsy & joy.
Above are 2 pigs painted by “Bacon”. Odd name considering the art is on the side of a vegan restaurant. I’m considering them to be the Siskel and Ebert of pig stories.
“Two Snouts Up”, they snort in unison!
Deme and Honeybell, 2 sweet and lovely glowing pigs, are the stars of the Snorts. They use their magic to do good things. Honeybell wishes she was as bold as Deme, but they are partners in adventure.
“So what? You have to be a good looking gal, to get to be a glowing pig?” grunts the disgruntled regular street art pig.
A much wiser pig, from a Chinese Zodiac mural, knows different.
“I think all pigs are wonderful in Teagan’s glowing mind. I’ll have to read more to be sure, but I’m making the prediction here!”
The Glowing Pigs stories take place in Atonement, Tennessee. Teagan has written two main books about Atonement: Atonement, Tennessee & Atonement in Bloom.

Besides the many other books Teagan has written, she engages us all in a serial most Saturdays. Right now we’re river boating, and participating, on The Delta Pearl. So hop aboard, enjoy the trip and check out some of Teagan’s Other Books by clicking on the Riverboat Steampunk image above.
“Tha yibida tha yibida tha yibida That’s All Folks!”
This tale by Mike Steeden is one of the most imaginative stories I have ever read.
Using street art, I will present a feel that moves along with the book’s official blurb.
‘A book of mind boggling time-travel,
feverish sex, syrupy romance,
ho hum history,
a dark future, The Moon,
Constantinople,
Paris and Berlin,
human consciousness, infinity,
a tongue in cheek take on all things carnal,
art for art’s sake
and three thoroughly mad yet oh so delightful gals’
I drew one a one-eyed blue-eyed cat, for Mike. Mike, Eye’m sure this is nothing you ever imagined. However, after reading “The Blue-Eyed Cat”, which I thoroughly enjoyed,I was inspired to this! Also, I believe the video below is apropos.
Should “The Blue-Eyed Cat” take your fancy it can be found at;
I fell in love with this classic piece of alley art the second I laid eyes on it!
I shot from across the oddly busy alley, by a parked car. Parked cars offer a huge bit of protection from moving traffic.
The car also worked well for reflections. Note the woman’s face at the bottom of the reflection. This is from a mural I posted last year, & it’s on the side street. Cool, huh?
Then I shot strange angles from the side of the street the mural was painted on.
Who ever thought the food industry could become a dangerous business?
We gotta eat, right?
I sit and think how grateful I am for everything so many are doing to keep life rolling along this very bumpy Coronavirus road.
Bakers still bake bread.
Deliveries need to be made to store, and direct to homes. Truckers with big rigs and drivers in vans are all more important than ever, now.
I’m thankful for First Responders: Firefighters, EMS & Police.
Thank you to farmers who must keep our food growing!

Public transportation is still running in Toronto, but there’s not a lot of riders, as people work from home a lot these days.
Someone has to drive these things, and I thank them!
There’s more! Pharmacists, Sanitation workers, Postal workers, public works such as water, electricity and many I can’t think of right now….OH! the wine store workers. Thank you! Let me know in comments who I missed, and I will add them!
What’s that saying I hear a lot of these days? “We’ll all get through this, together!”
