RE: “Been Around The World And I-Eye-Eye.. I Found The Best Spray Paint”
Right on, some of these murals are beautiful and very different then many of the others you have shared with us in the past.
Good choice on the cover image. I wonder how long this one took the artist to do.
When you say creating art like this is natural, and you either have it or you don't, you are so right. I'm sure any skill can be built upon, but there needs to be some innate ability to begin with.
A visit to the West Bank had to be an eye opener.
You hear so much about this small strip of land and all of the claims to it.
So much blood has been shed in this region, and still there has been no real resolution about ownership.
For Israel and all of the citizens of this tiny state to constantly be under fire, and surrounded by people with hatred in their hearts for their mere existence, has to occupy so much of their state of being.
Without big brother having their back, they couldn't survive.
My favorite picture of them all is the one with the little girl pointing to the sky. She jumps off the mural as if she is alive, and pointing to the heavens with so much purpose.
Really enjoyed looking at all of the art work, several times.
Thanks @dandays for sharing these images from another part of the world!
Stay safe my friend!
My man! You know I love it when Sweed drops me a line, your emotion comes through in your text, it’s unique and not seen often, yours is consistent. Happy Wednesday, sir, thank you for resteeming this one, I really appreciate that.
About being born with it or not. Hey man, did you know these artists have the big gallon ziplock bags full of tips? I’ve watched them work before, I had no idea. 100 tips or more dude. One sprays, one splatters, one is a vertical line, a horizontal line, solid circle, etc—“100” of them! That, in itself, is an art.. they just look at them and know what they do so they’re switching tips faster than they’re spraying.
Yes—West Bank! Oh man, that’s a whole post itself, our current location has me going in so many directions, I might just save the remaining GoPro transfers for when we get to UK—we’ll see.. (if I can manage to wait that long) dude... West Bank. Man! I’d already have done it if our WiFi wasn’t worse than poor. Worst connection we’ve had since beginning this adventure—frustrating. I’ll never admit how long it took me to upload those images my brother, the generous upvotes and the resteems sure do acknowledge my efforts and I’m super appreciative.
That’s so cool you pointed out the little girl, Sweed, only someone who paid attention would’ve noticed her.
My pleasure, @thebigsweed, thank you for keeping an eye on us—appreciation like this is all the motivation I need. 👍🏿
Had to laugh at myself after reading the first few lines @dandays.
When you stated that they have a hundred tips in a bag, a couple of things ran through my head real quick. So that's how they make their money. I wonder what a 100 tips would add up to, I guess that that would depend on how much each tip was.
After reading the remainder of that second parasgraph, I quickly realized what you meant by tips. 😁😁
Downloading pictures is always a very time consuming procedure.
With most of the pics I put into a post, I like to make some adjustments to the clarity, light, and color of the picture before adding it to a post.
I would guess that over 50% of the time it takes to put together a post is spent on the pictures.
I also spend a considerable amount of time checking spellen, . , : ; ? ' " , and gramher.😁😁
Keep them coming my friend.
I read your post on your take of all of the different people you met. Great post, and when I shared what I read with @farm-mom, we sat around for over an hour talking about things like 6 months of work and 6 months off, (Hungary)
Everyone is obligated to serve in the military, (Syria) Qusay keys to his home,
Tamar and his invitation to his home, (Palestine), and so much more.
Great post, which stimulated so much conversation between the wife and I.
Reply coming on I'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT.
What a dapper duo! 👀 300 posts later and it seems like you're just getting you're mojo on.
Stay safe my friends. 👍
I had a few comments, sir, your wife’s included and as soon as I saw two from you, I was “yes!” And I saved them for last. I can’t wait to read the next one!
I’m not sure how you continue to one-up yourself but I probably sound like a broken record by now—I really appreciate your responses, sir—thank you.
Spelling/grammar—doooood.. The thing that fires me up the most about that, I’m an OCD having fool, right, I can file the same dart tip (totally different tip than a paint can, the kind that sticks to a dart board) for what seems like forever and always need to make adjustments, they’re never perfect—just the kinda dude I am. Hence I don’t draw too many portraits because even after they’re released, they never were finished (I hope that makes sense). So when I spend who knows how long on an article adjusting, correcting, trimming, editing, just as I’ll do with this response, it really fires me up when Pura is like “you missed an apostrophe.” ‘Ahhhhhhh!!’
Back to the second paragraph in this response, coolest thing I’ve read all day man, I mean it. I never thought about someone taking about what I’ve learned and shared at their own dinner table—that’s so inspiring! That means there’s a chance that maybe you’re not the only one and there’s more than two couples that are really taking a deeper look at things. Thanks for sharing that with me, Sweed, I’m really glad you did.
Ok, I’m going to your response on that one now. Response number two—coming up! Your responses are like Christmas to me all the time.
Deal!
This is exactly what I mean by you one-upping your own comments—that sure is a neat quality you got there.
