I Waited 10 Years!

On December 6, 2022December 6, 2022 By ResaIn Graffiti Mural, Jarus69 Comments

On my first visit to Graffiti Alley, this beauty was one of the first works of art I laid eyes on.

As you can see, she was in a frost fence prison. Not only is the fence 6′ high, there is a locked gate keeping all out.

This is the main reason she has lasted 10 years, without being tagged.

I always check when I go to the alley. For 10 years the gate has been locked. I never tried climbing the fence. There’s always people behind a big glass window.

On my latest trip to Graffiti Alley, there was something going on in the alley, like some kind of surveying.

THE GATE WAS OPEN! To allow the surveyors room to do their thing.

I could see people behind the window, but this was my big break! I entered and shot like a maniac, fast, furious then fled.

I could feel the eyes upon me. I never shot so fast in my graffiti daze.

It’s a Dog’s Life

On November 29, 2022 By ResaIn Street Art, Tributes88 Comments

Good ARFternoon! As a monocle wearing dog, I look much smarter than other dogs.

However, looks and brains aren’t everything. Heart is also most important.

So, my pals & I are here to tell you about three people and 53 shelter dogs that survived a plane crash.

We found this important information on John Howell’s Good News Friday Post

No dogs jump over the moon, in the post.

SPOILER ALERT

However. you will be over the moon when you read how some of the dogs got adopted by their rescuers.

Thank you for the Good News, John!

I feel like pawing out cigars to celebrate, but I can’t seem to get off the fence about the whole smoking thing. I assure you, I don’t inhale!

Birdo Birds

Obviously I was thrilled to find this!

Fresh paint by Birdo, a fave of mine, and one of the very first street artists I ever met.

Timothy Price is the only person I know who has a parrot…2 parrots I believe.

How could I not think of him when I discovered this?

I saw this from across the street. I shouted, “it’s a cat! People stared.

I dedicate this post to some of the many cats I’ve met on WordPress. If you click on their name, you will go to their mom or dad’s blog.

The artists:

Dudeman does the skulls. If these aren’t his skulls, he is being plagiarized.

The cat could be Bacon. He’ does beautiful cats, and he and Dudeman had a mural on this same fence. I think they painted over it.

OMG! There’s a spirit coming out of the mural!

The Eyes Have It

Adore this face, by female artist EGR.

I did take pics of the eyes separately, then the nose and mouth.

SPUD, a fab artist in his own right, either helped EGR or tagged it.

Hallowe’en 22

On October 30, 2022October 29, 2022 By ResaIn Hallowe'en, Street Art105 Comments

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.
