Monday Murals -- Tarot Cards

I'm taking part today in 

Monday Murals hosted by Sami.

Today is World Tarot Day

so I am featuring a mural

depicting three tarot cards.

The cards represent the unknown artist's interpretation of

the Temperance, World and Star cards of the Major Arcana.

This mural was painted on the side of a

pagan, goth and kink "Curio Shoppe"

located in a trendy area in Edmonton

known for shopping, bars and restaurants.

Both the store and the mural are now long gone, alas.

Friday Face OFF -- Mona Lisa Update

For today's Friday Face OFF link party

of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of

DVArtist, Art, Food and Everyday Things --

Without any of my own art to share this week,

how about a fresh look at one of the

most famous faces in the world,

Lisa del Giocondo, a.k.a. --

MONA LISA

What's she up to these days?

Seeing the world!

Staying warm in Ireland!

And in Canada!

Expressing her inner goth self!

Just call her

"The Ramona Lisa"

Catching up on her reading!

And still inspiring artists of all kinds!

Subway Station of the Cross

What follows is commentary and photos from

the internet post where I found this video --

This isn’t quite how I imagined

the second coming of Christ.

What makes this funnier is that I’m pretty sure

that’s at the station for Cologne Cathedral.

It is and every time I see that hole I think of this video.

I remembered to check at the station today and can report

that the structural stigmata are still there --

Why are there 4 holes?? Maybe 5?

It’s His daily commute.

It is written that twice did Jesus stumble and

twice did the cross strike nearby architecture.

So really this is method acting.

Unfortunately they repaired it recently --

And now there's a commemorative plaque of the incident,

posted on the subway wall in three languages --

Giraffes and Retirement Are BOTH Awesome!

and has (drumroll please)

JUST RETIRED!

Congrats, and enjoy retirement!

Now it's the weekend all the time!
