"Peter Pan" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Peter Pan".

I didn't know what to do for this one, and was going to skip it. But then I decided to try to make something for it.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.32

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

As with all potential FFEs, be aware of your surroundings at all times, and be mindful of agent provocateurs, undercover Government agents (i.e. FBI) creating entrapment cases, etc., in crowd situations.

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon" offended me, but apparently some thought it was "funny" so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My satirical words in this post and my art piece are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

I created this using GIMP 2.10.24.

I think I know too much, and nothing at all. You're holding all the cards, but maybe I've got an ace or two up my sleeve. Who casts a net into the sea? I'm looking for one pair of the Four Horsemen. They told me, "Don't be scared." But how can I trust them when their posse keeps rubbing [redacted] in my face?

Black Pirate Boat Skulking Around Fairfield! - Photograph

This is 1 of 3 posts of photographs that I took in the Ash Creek Open Space walking area in Fairfield, CT this past week.

The Fairfield Marina is located here as well. I was thrilled when I spotted this Black Pirate Boat docked near the boat launching area! Okay, so it's not a real Pirate Ship and it wasn't really skulking around, but it looks great!

The name of this black boat is Barnacle and it bears a skull and cross bones. That's what first caught my eye, with it being only a few weeks until Hallowe'en. But then I realized it was a Pirate boat, and phrases like "Barnacle Bill the Sailor" and "Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum!" came to mind.

That red boat in the background is the Fairfield Fire Department boat, which is always docked in that position, for quick deployment when they get calls for emergencies out on the water. (I think it's also one of the last boats to get dry docked when Winter approaches, but I could be mistaken.)

"Captain's Cove" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was “Pirates."

This is also my entry for this week's Three Muses challenge "Maps."

The Pirate was on the New York Public Library but I found a higher resolution image on the internet. The skulls are from the Library of Congress and the swords are from Clipart ETC. (See the right hand side of my blog for links.)

The font is GrekoDeco.

I took today off to recharge my batteries. It's going to be a top 10 weather day here, so I'll be going out later to enjoy it. Tomorrow I'm riding shotgun on a road trip, and Sunday will be my day of rest. I've been working a lot of hours because we're behind schedule. I have a three day reprieve, then the frenetic pace will resume on Monday. If we stay on schedule, I'm slated to go to Florida in October, but our team will be relegated to third shift.
