Hallowe’en 22

I see you got the inbite, ….. erm  ….invite to my special Hallowe’en bash & birthday party for Resa’s niece Sherrie.

Say “hello” to Snarl, my co-host for the evening.  Snarl, say “hello”to our guests!

SNNAAAARRRLLLL

Some of the regular alley skulls have dropped in.

We usually eat the guests with flesh on their bones, but this year we’re serving skull cream cones, instead.

Big Daddy Devil has made an appearance.

He’s brought his rotten son, Little Boy Devil along.

For fun, they rode in on their giant pet, Mothy. Sweet thing!

Entertainment wise, two alley ghouls are performing incantations and spells. Line up on the left for special hex requests!

I hope you have enjoyed your evening of horror here in our Hallowe’en hell-hole! Meet King, our bouncer!

Everyone OUT! It’s over! Don’t linger or I’ll sick my Vudu cat on you!

MEW!

HALLOWE’EN BONUS

I’ll be doing a review of all of Robbie and Michael’s books, down the road a bit. However, I couldn’t resist a mention of “Haunted Halloween Holiday”.

Even kids’ books can have spoilers, so I’ll be brief

Meet Count Sugular. He is one of the many characters in this and other of this series of kids’ books. Like all, he is an artwork made of fondant, an edible sugar clay…in a way. Edible glue is used & edible food colouring.

Kids can eat these characters. SO, all children must brush their teeth after eating one. Above is Skelly the Skeleton. Below is Jack Frost.

I’ll repost this link when I review the series. https://robbiesinspiration.wordpress.com/fondant-art-how-to-make/

Green Owl Garage

This owl was found on the side of a garage. I immediately thought of  Timothy Price from Off Center Not Even.

I know his owls are different, but Tim is the only one I know with owls living on his property.

Someone hewed down the dead tree where the owls made their home.

Tim made another nest, in the same area, with many attributes of the old nest.

He went toa lot of effort. Will the owls find the new nest?

I sure hope so! Thank you, Tim!

The Artist(s) – unsure

Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan

“If there is something to be changed in this world then it can only happen with MUSIC” – Jimi Hendrix

This is over a pub called “Pour Boy”.

I recognized Jimi immediately.

There was another face, but only a part of a face. For some reason, I got Robert Palmer stuck in my head.

This was my 3rd time here. It’s on a busy side street.. delivery trucks, cars parked or driving up and down, people galore. No room to take pics, until this day. I thought, I’ll grab Jimi, anyway.

As I was leaving, I saw this around the corner. Id never seen around the corner before.

Looks like Dylan to me!

Dead on, it did not make sense. I had to find the angle. Jimi recorded one of Dylan’s songs, “All Along the Watchtower”. I was angst over whose version to put here. Then I remembered Playing for Change. 🌟 Brilliant 🤩 A must see!

The Artist: Unknown to me at this time

Poetess Jungle

First I gasped, at the beauty of the entire mural.

Then I singled out the face & said – It’s Holly, poet whose hair is “a tangle of stars”. Now she and her soft brown eyes are in a tangle of jungle.

If ever there was a mural as lovely as her poetry, this is it.

Love the tiger!

This detail, as well as the tiger’s stripes are painted in metallic gold and silver.

The shadows are painted on her face.

Some close up details.

Leonard Cohen recites words to a Joni Mitchell song. Herbie Hancock accompanies on piano.

It’s another kind of jungle: and deep in this jungle, in an alley, I found the jungle mural.

Dear John II

Good Afternoon, Agent 00 toon!

We have a situation in the alleys. Bugs has been sent in undercover.

He’s discovered a lot of dissent amongst the cartoon world. Seems you’ve been playing faves, with Looney Tunes. Other cartoon franchises have become agitated.

Rover Dangerfield feels he has no respect. Perhaps he should have a chat with Wile E. Coyote? He gets no respect, and he’s a Looney Tune!

The other cartoons feel like they’re being driven off a cliff. Again, they should speak with Wile E. Being driven off a cliff is all in a days work.

Still, protest and defiance grows. Darkwing Duck is demanding “more paint” to paint more Disney Characters!

Me, I’m hiding out in a crazy black and white mural.

I’m not pink, so no one will spot me, and I’ve got a great vantage point.

Oh No! Boris Badenov is about to throw a fusion bomb!!!  All  animals  and  humans  will be fused with cartoons. No one will be spared if they enter the alley!

  Anyone with  half  a brain  is  fleeing.

I repeat; half a brain!!!!

IT’S TOO LATE!

Poor guys never stood a chance!  Agent 00 toon, I trust you’ll take care of this situation?!

Your mission is to restore order to the lanes & alleys!

Sun Face

Found this on a closed restaurant’s patio.

I adore the face.

It makes me think of the sun.

The rest of the mural….????

That does not look like authentic writing.

Here’s some writing, aka burners or lettering.

Says – In Sight

Says – Breathe

Says – Poser

Says – Putin Go Fuck Yourself, in Ukrainian

Says – Tensoe

What does below say? I’m not buying it!
