I quite like this blue face. 
I found it in a laneway that had been converted into a restaurant’s patio.

The artist: One of those names below. It is from a long wall, and many artists painted on it.
Apologies for certain ill alignments. This art was small and right off the sidewalk.
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 doorway mural was painted during the onset of the lockdown.
Hi! Here I am first time out socially, in 12 weeks. It was great to see 2 family members.
I’ve decided to grow out my grey hair. That thing in the centre of my chest is a bottle of hand sanitizer on a lanyard. I wear OS men’s shirts as a form of PPE. I hand painted my mask.
I’ve been reading more than usual. Check out my Art Gowns review of 5 of Shehanne Moore’s Historical Romance novels, by clicking on the book cover below!
I can’t get enough of gowns, especially in a romantic historic setting . I can’t get enough of street art.
There must be a correlation?
I also enjoyed reading Mike Steeden’s The Blue-Eyed Cat
Let me know what you’ve enjoyed reading during your time on hold!

Here’s a promo for Mike Steeden’s new book; The Snow White Tigress. It was made by George, over at Zoolon Hub If you are a writer, and would like a promo made with original music, check him out! Very reasonable prices.
I’m staying home, mostly. I’ve got a myriad of creative projects on the go & 2 cats to boss me around.
All the BGF’s & dog have been cooped up.
We stayed home.
Some restrictions have been lifted, under certain conditions.
Happy to say, I am back in action in my beloved alleys, and observing conditions.

The Artist:
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.

I wasn’t expecting to find this.
It is so subtle you can miss it, as many passerby’s did.
I wasn’t that impressed, at first. Later, when I looked at the shots, I fell in love.
I had to take the top geese from across the street.
I crossed the street to capture the lower geese. Being so close was not the best perspective.
Yet, when I got home and saw the odd angles I deployed, I was pleased with the gaggle’s cacophony.
