Streetartwall. A colorful mural with cats in comic style has been sprayed/painted on the outside wall of a one-story building. Individual colorful graffiti letters are scattered across the entire wall, which together form "Feline Fine", the name of this cattery. In between, cats can be seen pursuing their everyday hobbies, such as listening to music with headphones, reading a comic, sleeping, scratching, crawling and even a fat mouse and a bird have a place between the letters. A cheerful mural by two great street artists. ROO with the funny cats and Skyhigh with great lettering.

Duran Duran's "Rio" came out more than 40 years ago, and people have speculated ever since about who inspired the cover artwork, which was created by illustrator Patrick Nagel. Consequence explains that a Nagel fan finally tracked it down to a Vogue Paris 1981 cover featuring model Marcie Hunt. Here's more — including the reaction of Hunt, who discovered at the same time as the rest of us that her photo had been used.

The #SF #LGBT Center tapped me to participate in the Giants' #Pride game base art campaign. I had to come up with an #art piece that combined Pride, #SanFrancisco, the Giants, and the 20th anniversary of the #WinterofLove, when California began to recognize #samesexmarriage. If my idea was selected, I would paint it on a base and it would be displayed at the Pride Game on June 15th! And it got chosen! Just finished #painting the base today, can't wait to see it at the game!

'i hope i die warmed by the life i tried to live.'
#art #history: please accept this quick scribbled birthday tribute to preeminent poet, essayist & activist, nikki giovanni (born #otd in 1943). as a member of the black arts movement, she became a leading light amongst the black power poets & at least one of her peers proclaimed her the 'poet of the black revolution'. she's also one of the only people i've seen leave james baldwin utterly tongue-tied.
#nikkiGiovanni #literature #illustration

quick digital ink sketch i drew of poet, writer & activist, nikki giovanni.
here, she looks towards the ground, a wide smile on her face. her bright, tomato-coloured top bears a paisley design & the background is a plain, rich teal colour.

French film director, producer, and screenwriter Louis Jean Lumière died #OTD in 1948.

Alongside his brother Auguste, Louis is best known for inventing the Cinématographe, a motion picture camera, projector, and printer all in one. The Lumière brothers' work laid the foundation for the film industry and revolutionized visual storytelling.

🙅🏻‍♀️ Artist: #LEVALET in City: #Paris 18eme, France 🇨🇵 06/2024 - Title: " Le sommeil de la raison" ("The sleep of the sensible" / "Der Schlaf der Vernünftigen") - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Pasteup #Artist #Urbanart #WachenWirAuf #RéveillonsNous
#LetsWakeUp ❗
Note: This pasteup is just one of several murals of this kind with different figures in the same context.

Streetartwall. The life-size, self-painted picture of a sleeping man has been stuck to a yellow house wall. The dark-haired man with a full beard sits huddled on a (real) distribution box and sleeps. He is wearing red trousers, a black sweater and sneakers. He is holding a sign with the French word "non" (English: no) written on it. Behind him is his shadow, who is not sleeping but holding up the protest sign.
Info: Notes by the artist Levalet: "In these troubled times, we can remind ourselves that each of us has the power to say no, to resist, even when the worst seems certain. Let's wake up!"

"Painting is but another word for feeling."

English lanscape painter John Constable was born #OTD in 1776.

He dedicated himself to landscape painting. He often painted outdoors, directly observing nature. This practice allowed him to capture the changing effects of light & weather. He developed a distinctive technique characterized by vigorous brushwork, the use of broken color, and a focus on the transient effects of light and atmosphere.

A huge pipe, grayish liquid pouring out of it. The pipe is above the ground, propped up by a thin wooden support. Beneath the pipe, on what looks like a small promontory, sits a horned figure with a pointed tail, tossing a wine bottle away into the valley. In the distance is the blurry suggestion of a forested mountain. A dim sun hangs high in the sky, birds, circling around. This is a mostly dull, orange drawing; the color of a hot, muggy day in a polluted place.

"Colour! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.... Color which, like music, is a matter of vibrations, reaches what is most general and therefore most indefinable in nature: its inner power."

The tropical cannonball flower, found in Vietnam, is known for its large, colorful blooms with a sweet fragrance. The flowers grow directly from the tree trunk, creating a stunning display. The tree also produces round, heavy fruits resembling cannonballs.

Looks simply beautiful in an oversized print on metal is stunning. The detail is perfection.

This image shows a large white bird, a great egret, flying gracefully above a marshy area. The bird's long wings are fully spread, creating a broad, elegant arc. Its body is sleek, with a long, slender neck stretched forward and a sharp, yellow beak pointing ahead. The bird's legs trail behind, straight and thin. The background is a mix of green vegetation and blurred earthy tones, giving a sense of natural surroundings. Sunlight shines through the bird's feathers, making them glow softly and highlighting its majestic presence.
