In some ways this is the opposite of my last post.
It’s a very wonderful piece!

Back in the Alleys
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.

Prince Paste-Up
I don’t find a lot of paste-ups any more. However, in this time of Covid, the paste and run mentality makes total sense.
I adore Prince, and was beyond thrilled to find this.
It’s brilliantly pasted over a throw-up. I loathe throw-ups.
My fave Prince song, and one of my fave vids….ever!

I’d love to see your fave Prince song/vid. Please post the link & not the actual video in your comment. A Frank Angle taught me that… so my browser won’t crash.
You enter the link, but add 1 character after the link. It will come out a link, and not a vid! Don’t worry if you didn’t get it right. I’ll make it right! Love & Peace!
Classic Face w/ Writing
This is new since the lockdown.
I found it in an alley I frequent.
Egads I adore it! What a classic!
A different angle. I adore the drainpipe integration.

Eye Spy
I found this on March, 9. It was the last time I rode the subway.
I look forward to the day I can venture out into another area of the city, but I’m not willing to risk public transportation at this time.
The parts with the eyes are. fabulous.

Queen Hera
Be still my beating heart! Is that Hera, Marina Kanavaki’s doggie?
I’m sure it is!
Marina rescued Hera from a shelter. Who wouldn’t be tail wagging happy if Marina rescued them?
I think Marina said they called her Queen at the shelter.
An obvious assumption.
Oh yeah, there’s other bits in this alley mural.
Different, huh!
I may have over shot, but it is Hera, after all!
I wanted to make sure I got all of the angles!

PORTRAIT OF HERA BY MARINA
Marina, thank you for all of the pics you sent me for the post!
Thank You Teagan!
Recently, Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene from 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.
Find all links to Teagan’s The Atonement, TN universe of urban fantasies at the end of the post!
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.
