In 30 minutes this street art guy turns an everyday mirror into a work of art.
What a talent, he should be displaying his own work.
Enjoy.

Artist and craftsman at work
Wow.
If you like large scale modelling you really need to spend 30 minutes of your time watching this guy at work. His name is Parma, he is a Brazilian chap who has a channel dedicated to large scale modelling and the thing is, he does it all from a small room in his apartment that he has converted into a workshop. He wants to prove that you don’t need a massive work space to create these masterpieces.
I love model making but you look at guys like this and feel totally inadequate. He is a true master of his trade.
His channel can be accessed here: @OficinadoParma

Melton Mowbray
Had a nice day out in one of the local towns, we were there looking at houses and decided to venture into town where there was a vintage car meet as well as a Sunday Market.
Melton Mowbray is world renowned its Porkpies and Stilton cheese both of which have Protected designation of origin status. I do indulge in the occasional Pork pie, but the cheese is not for me, i like very bland cheeses, my favourite is probably Red Leicester.
Anyway, I digress, my main reason to visit was to purchase a print from a local artist for our football themed garden pub. The artist is based here in Melton Mowbray and his name is Ian Hallows. I’d seen this signed and numbered print of a Fox in a Leicester City scarf, and wanted it, today I brought it issue 89 of 895. It is mounted on canvas and already on stretchers. It will be a welcome addition to the already full pub. It’s signed on the frame by the artist as well.
This is my third piece of original signed work in the pub and it fits in lovely.
Ian does a selection of sport related paintings and covers most of the football clubs in the football league.
Now I really fancy a pork pie….
Realistic drawing
What skill would you like to learn?
I love art, I love to draw I love to paint but realistically I am crap at it.
My father, both sisters and both brothers were so artistic but me? No. I just can’t do it. But I love it.
I often wonder if other people over time, artists, that is, were also crap . So crap that they invented such art forms as cubism and such. I’m not in anyway calling myself an artist, a P*ss artist maybe but never an artistic fellow.
I have lessons, I attend art classes but I just don’t cut the mustard. I guess I’m just destined to be one of life’s tryers.
I’m sure I’m probably beyond learning now, god knows I’ve been trying long enough. However I enjoy it, it keeps me calm and relaxed, and that’s not such a bad thing.
I just wish I could draw.
Have an arty day everyone…
Tattoo me
Whilst I understand fully why people don’t like tattoos, I personally love them. Yes there are some awful ones out there however many are works of art and those that dispense them are artists.
For me they represent something I love, a time or a place that brings great comfort or memories flooding back to me, representing something deeply personal and special that has featured prominently in my life.
And this one is for my best mate, Alf who sadly left us on the 16th August this year.
When Alf passed away the first thing the vet did was take a paw print off of him that was put into a card, I said to my wife at this point that I’d have a word with my tattooist, Pablo, and see if he could do something with it. Today I have met with Pablo and the tattoo is being done.
Alf was known throughout the family as “Alfie Moon” and I asked for this to be incorporated into the finished tattoo, and after about an hour the job is done and though a bit sore im really pleased with the outcome.
It won’t be in its full glory until the healing has finished in a week or two, for now it’s all about keeping it clean and protected and moisturised until that time.
It’s my way of remembering a faithful friend and companion that I now know will be forever with me, in my memory and now etched on to me. When people ask I can tell them the many stories of “Alfie Moon” – A very good boy.
Tattoos, taboo in many peoples eyes, but try to see the world through the eyes of others, it is an art form and art is a form of expression. If it helps, it cannot be a bad thing. And in my case my tattoos tell my life story and those special people, animals and places that have touched it.
I’m a walking art gallery, to some.
But probably not to others, the choice is yours, and yours alone.
