🌳 Artist: #StreetartFrankey in City: #Amsterdam #Vondelpark , Netherlands 🇳🇱 01/2025 - Title: "Beaker" - #Streetart #Art #Installation #Tree #Beaker #FunArt #MuppetShow #Muppets #MeeMeeMee 👀 #GoodMorning ! ☕🥐

Streetart. The artist "Frankey" has created a fun installation on a tree in a green space in Amsterdam. The tree is a cut trunk from which thin branches sprout wildly. The "installation" consists of two large googly eyes, a thick orange nose and a mouth with the corners of the mouth pulled down. Together, this makes a face with wild hair, i.e. the silly-looking "Beaker" from the Muppets show. He is the shy, long-suffering assistant to Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and is also named after a piece of laboratory equipment. His trademark is an excited "mee-mee-mee" instead of a language.
Info: Frankey is Frank de Ruwe who
currently lives and works in Amsterdam. Where, if you look closely, you can discover his works in an unexpected places throughout the city. Frankey manages to give passers-by an instant smile from ear to ear time after time. "Pretty cool, right?", He says himself.

Bonjour le fédiverse ! Comme beaucoup de gens je viens d'arriver, à la recherche de réseaux sociaux un peu chouettes. Artiste dans l'âme, du genre à partager des dessins et autres visuels ! (souvent non terminés).

Phase de test, du coup j'ai aussi créé un compte Pixelfed (https://pixelfed.social/melnatanlem).

(je ne sais pas comment marchent les hashtag dans le coin, dans le doute, j'en ajoute ! #queer #art #dessin #queerartist #linocut #illustration #french #francophone )

📷 by Artist: Virginie and #JefferyCassiers 🇧🇪 in Loc.: #Norway 🇳🇴 2023 - Title: untitled.- #Streetart #Art #Artist #Photography #Fotografie #Wildlife #Nature #Animals #Mouse ➡️ #APhotoLove

Photography. A color photo of a little field mouse in the snow. The cute shot shows a gray field mouse standing upright, holding its tiny pink paws together under its chin and appearing to smile.
Info: The accompanying video was taken by the photographer's sister and shows the mouse jumping and running around him. The video has, of course, become a viral hit.

This is an unusual rough canvas for a pictograph. I wonder why they chose this surface?

(Canyon Country, Utah, 10/22/2020. Note: I used parametric masks in Darktable to slightly darken the red ocher.)

#RockArt #Desert #Utah #Archeology #Art #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a beige / tan sandstone cliff face showing ancient images painted in a brick red ocher. There are five prominent images. On the far left is an anthropomorphic figure of the upper torso and head. There are no arms. There are very large eye holes in the triangular shaped head. The head appears to have ear rings. Moving right is a smaller figure that is similar, less detailed and composed of vertical lines instead of a solid color. In the middle, on a very rough part of the wall, is another figure similar to the one of the left. Because the sandstone is so rough, it is hard to see. Moving further right is another figure, a bit smaller than the one of the far left. It is very similar in design as the one on the far left although it has twin curled horns rather than ear rings. And on the far right are three wavy lines forming a sort of funnel shape. Two parallel lines on the left and one on the right. Above the two parallel lines on the left is a series of four small circles with large dots in the middle.

📷 by Artist: #KaiFusayoshi in Loc.: #Kyoto Yakata Japan 🇯🇵 1991 - Title: "Geisha girl rush way to Geishahouse in the rain." - #Art #Streetart #PhotoArt #Artist #Fotografie #Photography #BnW #Geisha #APhotoLove
Website: https://kaifusayoshi.com/

Photograph. A black and white photo of a walking geisha photographed from behind. The young woman is walking with a Japanese umbrella through a small shopping street in the rain. She is wearing a traditional kimono, which can be recognized as a strange silhouette through the dark photograph. Her shoulders are strongly emphasized and form a triangle with the wide sleeves. The waist is narrow and strangely long, it looks like a rectangle. The kimono ends at the legs as a bulbous skirt, which is somewhat irritating. A very nice street photo with a special eye for details.
Info: Fusayoshi Kai (born 1949 in Oita) is a writer and, above all, a photographer who loves and photographs Kyoto. He is the owner of the legendary café "Honyarado", which was destroyed in a fire in 2015, and the "Bar Hachimonjiya", where various cultural figures still meet every evening. He has published over 40 photo books.

Seeking recommendations: Since I unsubscribed from all political podcasts I'm looking for new shows. I like astronomy, geology, archaeology, paleontology, history, Linux, art, & photography. I prefer ad free podcasts but can handle a little advertising. I like podcasts that get to the point: No long intros & extended chatty personal info. "Just the facts, ma'am." What do y'all listen to?

SaraT. reviewed Permafrost by Eva Baltasar

Eva Baltasar: Permafrost (Paperback, français language, Verdier)

Pour pouvoir vivre, la narratrice de Permafrost n’a eu d’autre choix que de se protéger …

Quand la langue décape toute carapace, fût-elle Permafrostée

4 étoiles

Monologues d'une lesbienne quadra dépressive : il y a mieux pour attirer le chaland. Et pourtant : la langue est ciselée au cordeau, jouissive dans ses expressions déjantées et inattendues, poétiques au cœur d'une noirceur tournée en dérision à chaque ligne. La thématique y reprend du poil de la bête, dans de courts chapitres a priori sans queue ni tête, désopilants des propos sans filtres que tient l'auteure sur le mal-être de la narratrice, engoncée dans la carapace qu'elle s'est forgée pour tenir - tenir dans un univers féminin étouffant (mère, sœur), dans des relations qu'elle s'obstine à rompre (ses amantes), dans la découverte crue de la sexualité à l'adolescence, totalement et rapidement assumée. Toute carapace, même gelée, peut se fissurer : les craquelures apparaissent au milieu d'un cynisme qui s'exprime jusqu'à la dernière page, ouvrant à autre chose qu'à l'aspiration à la disparition physique.

Monologues d'une lesbienne quadra dépressive : il y a mieux pour attirer le chaland.

La plume d'Eva Baltasar s'est taillée dans des recueils de poésie : le texte l'illustre à chaque mot. Magnifique traduction d'Annie Bats, qui donne à entendre une langue sonore, colorée, exprimant quelque chose de cette expérience du décalage entre paraître attendu dans nos relations, et aspirations profondes. L'ouvrage est relativement court, composé de brefs chapitres qui s'enchaînent sans lien direct apparent parfois ; il est aussi particulièrement intense ; comme si sa brièveté venait pour faciliter la respiration après cette plongée sous une terre gelée.

(💕 Sorry, I've posted this photo before, but it's just my favorite-winter-animal- photo 🥹)

Photography. A color photo of a small white bird sitting between narrow brown branches. The background is white. It looks like a white, fluffy ball of absorbent cotton with a very cute face.
Info: The cheerfully hopping birds are very popular with the Japanese, who call them "shima enaga". In English they are known as "longtailedtits", although this particular subspecies is only found in Hokkaido.

Streetartwall. A beautiful picture and several golden stars have been stuck to the bottom corner of a beige house wall. A small boy in jeans and a blue and white checked shirt is shown from behind, reaching for one of the larger golden stars on the wall. A black and white cat sits next to him and watches him. (In the photo, a passer-by can be seen somewhat out of focus in the background, which suggests that the mural is no higher than 1.50 m).
INFO: SeiLeise (means in english: "Be Quiet") is a street artist from Cologne. With his colourful paste-ups he has declared war on the grey of the cities and comments on current events; partly playfully, partly with explicit social criticism. Pasteup are duplicated and pasted on walls in several places, often in different countries.

These beautiful pieces, from the Minoan Civilisation, are over 3,700 years old. There are modern mugs not as beautifully decorated or coloured as these.

This is a very visual post. Rows of mugs with swirled patterns counterpointed with wave motifs. Darker colours mixed in with vibrant ochres and clean whites in rhythmic bands around each piece.

Ein schlafender bärtiger Kopf bildet die Landschaft eines Bergrückens. Auf dem Nasenrücken, im Nasenloch und in der Ohrmuschel befindet sich jeweils ein Rhodesian Ridgeback (ein Hund für die Löwenjagd). Über dieser Szene glüht am Himmel eine Sonne in Form eines Löwenkopfes.
A sleeping bearded head forms the landscape of a mountain ridge. On the bridge of the nose, in the nostril and in the auricle there is a Rhodesian Ridgeback (a dog for lion hunting). Above this scene, a sun glows in the sky in the form of a lion's head.
