Lots of artsy stuff this week:

• Muralist Fintan Magee.
• This looks like a fun watercolor/drawing technique to try.
• My community still has utility alleys (I like them!), but the surrounding areas are phasing them out. What to do with those spaces? Here’s what they’re doing in Canada. (By the way, since this article was published, the Thursday Doors challenge has moved to No Facilities.)
• Farm animal photography.
• Playing with shadows.
• Y’all know by now that I’m a believer in art challenges.
• Wonderful illustrations from children’s picture books.
• Helicopter safari.
• I don’t care for all of these upcycled wonders, but I love the two rugs.
• When common objects suggest something else.
• Cute cartoons.
• Everything you want to do well requires practice.
