Monday Murals -- Fringe Festival Jester

I'm taking part today in 

Monday Murals hosted by Sami.

This colourful Jester is the logo of the

Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival,

North America's oldest and largest

annual festival of alternative theatre.

This indoor mural is a large donor recognition wall

located in the Old Strathcona Arts Barns

in the neighbourhood where the

Fringe Festival occurs every August.

I have "fringed" for many years and it's a fun time!

ShouXin's Captivating Cat Drawings

[A link party about art issues hosted by

Nicole of DVArtist, Art, Food and Everyday Things]

This contemporary artist is an absolute master

of minimalism and the powerful use of negative space.

With just a few simple lines of graphite surrounding

detailed, expressive eyes, ShouXin creates dynamic

portraits which perfectly capture feline

character, moods, and physicality.

And KUDOS to everyone in the USA

who is MARCHING and PROTESTING today

against the MAGA Trump Administration!

Friday Face OFF -- Victoria Sin

For today's Friday Face OFF link party

of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of

DVArtist, Art, Food and Everyday Things --

I love the outrageousness of drag performers' looks,

attitudes, and gender challenges. Here's my portrait of

the fabulous Victoria Sin, done in watercolour paint,

watercolour pencils, and black ink pen.

Sin Wai Kin is a non-binary performance artist known for their

immersive use of fantasy and speculative fiction to create worlds

and characters that reflect on language, reality, time, identity, and duality.

Among their many complex characters is Victoria Sin, a classic drag queen.

If you want to hear Sin Wai Kin's thoughts on

Victoria Sin's purpose and significance, here's a short,

quite fascinating video --

WARNING -- BEES AHEAD!

Now that Spring is officially here,

can bees be far behind?

What the hell are THESE kind of bees?

Here's a beautiful arty bee.

Wise advice -- heed it!

Same-sex bee love,

if I'm not mistaken.

And always remember

to keep the bees informed.

They love to know ALL the gossip!
