Smiles & Smirks

Art Appreciation Class when home schooling the kids?

appreciate Keith Haring :-)

Taking into account the ecological and social consequences of avocado farming that's maybe the expression every avocado should have. 

Love the "this gathering is illegall", haha! 

Michael great ads. Fit for the Coffee Clutch. But I cannot work out quite how the Rubber Stamp rack works. Obviously I am not as bright as a hen! A symptom of the  Covid-19?

Katerina, I agree with Sabrina, all those pictures are very funny but the 'illigal gathering' is hilarious.. I laugh everytime I remember it, which is often. So I go around gigling to myself, which added to what I said to Michael is worrying. 

Yes, rare as hen's teeth!   Here's another from the catalogue =

Katerina, your post reminded me of this photograph. :)

My best friend’s sweet daughter as a Banksy work for her COVID art class assignment a few weeks ago. 

How appropriate Jenn.  Lovely photo. Reminds me also of that great French film the Red Balloon  https://youtu.be/RIdhwLG6ucw   

Jenn, thanks very much for your fantastic contribution. Please congratulate the artist! Can we have her name?

She deserves her quarter hour of fame!

What a great way to learn about art history!

...here is a "copy" of aNorman Rockwell painting:

and a Rembrandt portrait?

(with rolls from toilet tissues!!!)

and "food" collage:

"Feed Art to the World" :-)

Michael- I had forgotten about "The Red Balloon," thank you.

Martha- Her name is Lacie. She's 9 and has Down Syndrome. She's one of the nicest kids you'll ever meet! 

Katerina- it's great isn't it? Her kids are lucky to have some wonderful school teachers. 

I'm enjoying all the posts on this thread. So thanks all involved :)

Jenn,  I will send some mail art to Lacie included in mail art for you, in my Solstice posting.

And Jenn, I am so happy you are enjoying the group. My vocation I think has finally revealed itself. I like to entertain, since a child I have been a bit of a clown.

Thank you to all of you that contribute to the fun!

The new park bench in the Covid Era:

Michael, lots of colour, love it.

Katerina, I have downloaded the Covid Bench to propose to my neighbours to get one for our communal area. What a good idea!

Name that star of stage and screen.

PROTECÇÃO E SORRISOS PARA O MUNDO

Thank you Mizé. That is funny and good advise.

Michael, I know I know that actor but cannot remember his name. I am rubbish for remembering names or numbers, and everything else as well.

Terry Thomas?

Leslie Phillips, I think — ding dong was his catchphrase.

The pipe-smoker, I can't decide, Sid James or Kenneth Connor?

I meant Leslie Phillips. I said I am rubbish, din'I?

and yes the other is Sir James. I think the prize should go to Alan!

This is a tiny card from Theo Nelson that was sent to me by Carol Stetser.   Perhaps Bertie Wooster's Aunt Agatha, the one that killed rats with her teeth?

Actually the "Ding Dong" chap is Terry Thomas although Leslie Philips might have ripped him off in a film once. Sid James with a pipe from some film - probably "Carry ON Up The Walmarth"!

Well well well, fancy that! I was right after all on the Terry Thomas thing. Pure fluke.

Boa noite Martha.

Ainda bem que gostou.

Obrigada. Sucesso

Mizé

"Festejando"

That is what I am doing every day. Haven't got inside the bottle yet; it is the bottle that gets inside me! Great drawing, thank you, Sabela.

And thank you also, Katerina. By her expression it seems that your masked lady is having fun too, while taking heed of good advice.

This had me laughing for a while!

Hide's sense of humour made her convert to a funny face the stamps on the card she sent me with only one crafty well placed line. And the US post office added wavy hair to it. 

08.06.20 Dare Ms. Mail Art Martha  & Ms. Heide Monster, ....yes, a fine example.    ...alas, something fitting  to be labeled as "Mail Art".  Thanx for sharing. SinCelery,Richard Canard

Richard, Walmarth welcomes you into its clutch, and hopes that you take advantage of the many upcoming dumpster specials this summer. Also, remember if you visit Cascadia, that Walmarth Cascadia also has Trashpomobiles for your transportation needs.

Smile??? (we wanna go home to Greece)

Katerina, well said!

Check out the last Coffee Clutch to your right.

Just my cup of Java!  ( actually it's tea that I drink mostly !)  Lovely stuff!

The Diorama Diaries first issue dedicated to the inauguration of the new Post Office in Cascadia landed on my desk. Although no laughing matter I  think it deserves exposure here so I put together a taster.

Let's give Jack a collective virtual round of aplause!

I'm in love with the new Cascadia post office. 

Mr. Melk adverts from Norway. Just saying.   Lovely Diorama Dairies - I wonder if they sell Mr. Melk juice?

Thanks Michael Leigh

funnies from the Sticker Dude...keep smiling!

Thanks Katerina. I got them too, they are really good, poor America!
