I read in a comment – “People always think she’s in a costume all year round because she’s a black cat, but she is going to be a black panther for Halloween.”
When I asked Beth about Olive dressing as a Black Panther for Hallowe’en, she replied Olive didn’t have any outfits.
So, I assume Olive actually morphs into a Black Panther. Cool huh?
I know it’s almost Christmas, but I’ve been a bit scared to post this!
I’ve never started a post with a reflection, before. Yet, it works for me here.
I can only go where I can walk. So, I have been going down some seedier, more neglected alleys. This beat up piece grabbed me.
The red eyeball looks like a tag.
She’ still a beauty.
It’s not just the art, it’s the entire performance of junk penning it in.
I’ve got lots of street art saved/hoarded, so should be posting new stuff for awhile.
Also, there’s a lot of early posts, that only 3 or 4 people got to see. Could always do a few of the best.
I got a commission to draw a pencil portrait of Frankenstein. Why not? I’m perfect for the job, as I draw a female super hero (Princess Blue Holly), a Torch Singer in Gowns, (Rene Rosso), Art Gowns Models in gowns, and a 1960’s Go-Go Dancer in cool mini dresses (Boogapony Holly).
It’s not quite finished, and I took this today. Today is almost as dark as night. Perfect for Frankenstein!
This garage door art made gasp out loud from its beauty.
Part way through making this post, I heard about the passing of Eddie Van Halen.
So, I dedicate this post to Eddie.
Guitar is my fave instrument. I dated drummers, bass players, keyboardists, horn players and singers. For me, there’s nothing like a hot guitar player.
Rest in Flowers! RIFF, Eddie!

The Artist:
You can feel his fingers on those strings and on the fret board! He was a true rock guitar artist.
A year and a half ago, I went out searching for this mural.
It’s in the area between Queen & King Streets, but I couldn’t find it. There was construction everywhere: demolishment, cranes, scaffolding and I figured, it’s gone!
A couple of weeks ago, I was in in the same area. Construction had evolved. I look down an alley and see this splash of colour.
As I got closer, I thought it’s like Holly. It’s not just that it’s as pretty as Holly, but it’s the 2 personas, and the blonde and red hair. I draw Holly in 4 characters: Rene Rosso & Princess Blue Holly (both red heads), Art Gowns Model Holly & Boogapony Holly (both shades of blondes).
Then, when I stepped back and looked the entire mural, I realized it was the one I had tried to find, a year & half ago.
There are a lot of elements to this mural, all depicting the rich cultural tapestry, that defines the area.
At the bottom left, as we look at it, there is this neat fairy fiction person. Unfortunately it was tagged. I cleaned it up as much as I could for this presentation.
To the left of the Queen of Hearts are 4 creative types. I have put them in a slideshow, below.

To celebrate these minor players in the mural, and finding the Queen of Hearts, I chose a song by Queen!
To the right of the Queen of Hearts, are 4 more alternative/creatives. Find them in the slideshow, below.

To celebrate those characters, I choose a song by Heart. Now we have a complete musical, Finding the Queen of Hearts.
Hope you’ve enjoyed the Queen of Hearts, as much as I have!
