btw, block #blue lock leaks or #blue lock spoilers if you want to filter out my babbling any time we get a new chapter 🐞

So, first thoughts on this week's leaks?

there's just this panel of Isagi's legs in the air. not a football in sight.

🌈🫡 never change blue lock never change ✊💙

More seriously, it's really wholesome how most of the team pile on to celebrate with the winning duo. KURONA you guys, he doesn't even hesitate!! He's so happy for Isagi

LOOK AT HIM ON ISAGI'S BACK OMG

Guess who I'm going to next...

I can't wait to see this in the official release, but damn... The Emperor is Not Happy. It really reminds me of Isagi's DAMN IT panel from chapter 230—probably on purpose. Kaiser is Michael's ideal after all... but is the novice beginning to surpass the star?

Not pictured in the leaks: Kunigami or Yukimiya's reactions. Hmm... We do get wonderful reaction shots of the two coaches and Ness, as well as a disappointed Ubers. Also no sign of Barou—they're saving that confrontation for next week.

We get some interesting panels of Hiori too. Waiting on the fan translation, but to me it seems like he's going to put off quitting... at least while he's motivated to pursue goals the way he did with Isagi this match.

look how gorgeous and HAPPY he looks here, I'm going to cry 🥹 he deserves the world

But for me, the key excitement came towards the end of the leaks. Because we didn't get just a glimpse of what's going on beyond the Ubers match...

We got the full-ass ending of the Manshine City v Paris X Gen match.

GUESS WHO'S BACK FRIENDS AND FANGIRLS

ITOSHI MOTHERFUCKING RIN IS MAKING HIS RETURN

oh and nagi i guess. whatever

.../s Don't come for me. I love Nagi really, but we've seen plenty of him in his spin off.

I was not expecting to get this level of detail on our favourite edgy emo. Rin is absolutely dominating PXG by the looks of it. Isagi can't rest on his laurels yet.

I was also not expecting our princess to be the sole scorer of this match! On the one hand: COME THROUGH MY STRAWBERRY HAIRED SON! ❤️❤️❤️ I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! I wish they showed more of Chigiri this chapter... but at least they gave us chapter 213.

But still, damn Manshine... get it together.

It could be years until we get the full story behind this match—but Nagi seems to be struggling just as chapter 207 foreshadowed. It's hard to believe he couldn't motivate himself against Rin, who's another established rival of his. Ah well. Maybe he'll redeem himself against Ubers and Barou?

Overall, cracking chapter... and I haven't actually read a word of it yet!

#these are the rayuga leaks btw - I touched the images up to make the lineart clearer #yes this is nanowrimo procrastination #yes I'll log off and go write... once I read the summary #blue lock #blue lock spoilers #blue lock leaks #blue lock manga #blue lock manga spoilers #bllk manga #bllk chp 239 #isagi yoichi #hiori yo #kurona ranze #michael kaiser #itoshi rin #nagi seishiro #chigiri hyoma #boinin talks bllk #long post

Sandro Botticelli Primavera (c. 1480) Tempera grassa on wood, 207 x 319 cm The Uffizi Gallery, Florence

Highlights from around the web 💫

✨ Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi (c. 1445 – 1510), known as Sandro Botticelli, was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century, when he was rediscovered by the Pre-Raphaelites who stimulated a reappraisal of his work. Since then, his paintings have been seen to represent the linear grace of late Italian Gothic and some Early Renaissance painting, even though they date from the latter half of the Italian Renaissance period. [1]

✨ The nickname Botticelli, meaning "little barrel", derives from the nickname of Sandro's brother, Giovanni, who was called Botticello apparently because of his round stature. A document of 1470 refers to Sandro as "Sandro Mariano Botticelli", meaning that he had fully adopted the name. [2]

✨ This painting, usually known as the Primavera [or ‘Spring’] depicts nine figures from classic mythology advancing over a flowery lawn in a grove of orange and laurel trees. In the foreground, to the right, Zephyrus embraces a nymph named Chloris before taking her; she is then portrayed after her transformation into Flora, the spring goddess. The centre of the painting is dominated by the goddess of love and beauty, Venus, chastely dressed and set slightly back from the others, and by a blindfolded Cupid, firing his arrow of love. On the left, the three Graces, minor goddesses with virtues like those of Venus, are shown dancing in a circle. The composition is closed by Mercury, messenger of the Gods, recognisable from his helmet and winged sandals, as he touches a cloud with his staff. [3]

✨ Although the complex meaning of the composition remains a mystery, the painting is a celebration of love, peace, and prosperity. The dark colour of the vegetation is in part due to the aging process of the original pigment, but is lightened by the abundance of fruits and flowers. At least 138 species of different plants have been identified, all accurately portrayed by Botticelli, perhaps using herbaria. The attention to detail confirms the artist’s commitment to this piece, which is also evident in the sheer skill with which the paint has been applied. [4]

↪ Get this design on a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or notebook 🥀

Alessandro Filipepei, conocido como Botticelli (Florencia, 1445-1510)

La Primavera

ca. 1480

Temple graso sobre madera

207 x 319 cm

Inventario 1890 n. 8360

Conocido por el nombre convencional de Primavera, el cuadro muestra nueve figuras de la mitología clásica caminando sobre un prado florido, frente a un bosque de naranjos y laureles. En primer plano a la derecha, Céfiro abraza y fecunda a la ninfa Clori, representada un poco más adelante en forma de Flora, diosa de la floración. Dominando el centro de la composición, ligeramente retraída, se encuentran la diosa del amor y la belleza Venus, castamente vestida, y Cupido, representado con los ojos vendados mientras dispara el dardo del amor. A la izquierda danzan en círculo las tres Gracias, deidades benéficas menores cercanas a Venus, y cierra la composición Mercurio, el mensajero de los dioses que lleva casco y zapatos alados, que toca una nube con su caduceo. Si bien el significado complejo de la composición sigue siendo misterioso, la obra celebra el amor, la paz y la prosperidad. la vegetación, cuyo color oscuro se debe en parte a la alteración del pigmento original, se ilumina por la abundancia de flores y frutos. Se han reconocido 138 especies de plantas diferentes, descritas con precisión por Botticelli, quizás usando herbarios. La atención al detalle confirma el compromiso asumido por el maestro en este trabajo, también confirmado por la experiencia técnica con la que se realizó la pintura.

Realizada sobre un soporte de madera de álamo, la obra fue ubicada a finales del siglo XV en la casa de vía Larga (hoy vía Cavour) de los herederos de Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de 'Medici, primo de Lorenzo el Magnífico; colgaba sobre un catre, una especie de arcón con respaldo, característico del mobiliario de las residencias aristocráticas del Renacimiento. Luego pasó a la villa de Castello, donde Giorgio Vasari en 1550 la describió junto con el Nacimiento de Venus.

Flower Arranging Origins

The old Egyptians were supposed to be the person who originally rehearsed flower organizing. That was way back 2,500 B.C. Indications of this is found in Egyptian's cut stone this website alleviation and dividers painted with improvements.

As indicated by records, old Egyptians think about flower arrangement as a crucial piece of their way of life. Intricate flower creating were supposed to be utilized during entombment functions and for marches. Additionally, they were considered as table highlight where flowers were placed in a jar. Very much like today, flowers previously had meanings embedded to them around then. For old Egyptians, lotus, for example, has a sacrosanct nature since it is related with their Goddess Isis. In this manner, the majority of their plans include lotus.

Then, at that point came the Greeks and the Romans turn in the craft of flower arrangement. For the two, flowers likewise had emblematic meanings; the majority of them were related with their divine beings and goddesses. As far as flower making, Greeks and Romans lean toward putting them in wreaths and laurels. The two are said to choose flowers to be arranged by the shape, color and structure.

In the East side of the world, this specialty of flower making was likewise existent during the antiquated occasions. It was supposed to be the Chinese who first show indications of this magnificent workmanship. It tends to be followed back to 207 B.C. During the Han time, flowers had a fundamental impact in strict instructing and strict functions. Buddhists, Taoists and Confucians working on offering flowers at their raised areas during the 618-906 A.D. Very much like the Egyptians, the Romans and the Greeks, they additionally conveyed emblematic meanings in China. Different arrangements were picked for the representative meaning they bring. For example, peony, dubbed as lord of flowers, is an image of riches, fortune and elevated place in the Chinese setting. The Chinese act of enhancing sanctuaries with flowers is said to impact the Japanese. In Japan, there is a specific term utilized for flower masterminding - Ikebana. It goes back 500 years prior. Ikebana is considered as a fine art for the Japanese which again has strict impact. All through time it has advanced and presently as should be obvious, it is quite possibly the most famous styles of this flower expressions.

Flower arrangement prospered late in most European nations. It was distinctly in the Renaissance and elaborate period that this craftsmanship became pervasive in Europe. However, it was then that the customary style of flower creating, as we probably are aware today, started. Certain flower arrangement standards were then drilled. As a rule, they are placed in compartments made of marble, bronze and substantial Venetian glass.

Today, there are many types of flower arrangements. Contemporary plans are normally blends of human expressions of flower craftmanship that created since the commencement.

2020 Skate America Preview - Pairs

If there was any favorite for the gold medal in the Pairs event, I would say it’s reigning US Silver Medalists, Jessica Calalang and Brian Johnson, who looked very good at the ISP Points Challenge, which they won. They were around 207 in the first opportunity and 215 in the second, so they should sail to a victory here. In my opinion, it’s theirs to lose.

As for the silver medal, I would say our favorites are Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Brandon Frazier, who just teamed up last Spring. They were around 200 in both of the opportunities of the ISP Points Challenge, solidly above the rest of the field, so they should sail to say easy silver medal here in their International debut as a pair.

The favorite for the bronze medal, I would say, are Ashley-Cain Gribble and Timothy LeDuc, who were solidly third in both of the ISP Points Challenges opportunities. They’re not beatable here, so they can’t rest on their laurels, but they are also capable of winning silver here if they can skate a near-personal best, but based on how they skated so far, I would put them here.

The fourth place team I would say are Tarah Kayne and Danny O’Shea, who are coachless at the moment, after leaving their coaches not long ago. They were a solid fourth at both opportunities of the ISP Points Challenge. If everyone skates their personal best, I can’t see them placing higher than third, but if mistakes are made by the top teams, look for them slip up onto the podium.

The solid fifth place team seems to be Audrey Lu and Misha Mitrofanov. They were fifth at both opportunities of the ISP Points Challenge. I can’t see them challenging the top four, and if they skate the way they have been so far, they should be solidly fifth here.

The next ranked team would be, in my opinion, Olivia Serafini and Mervin Tran. They have started gelling as a pair, but they have ranked blow Lu and Mitrofanov, and I don’t see that changing here. Unless mistakes are made, they should be solidly sixth here.

Our seventh ranked team should be Emily Chan and Spencer Howe, who were eighth at the ISP Points Challenge. Without one of the higher-ranked teams here, they should be seventh. They can’t afford too many mistakes, or they could slip down into eighth, but I can’t see them challenging for any higher here than seventh.

That leaves our only non-American team, Anna Vernikov and Evgeni Krasnopolksi of Israel in eighth place. Their scores last season were around 140 – 150, and I can’t see them out of eighth place, unfortunately. If mistakes are made by Chan and Howe, they might be able to slip up into seventh, but I don’t see them any higher than that.

PLEASE READ THIS!

This was an email sent to my husband following an unsuccessful interaction with Amherst Funeral and Cremation Services. I've got to say, I love how badly they treat grieving parents, especially moms.

Amherst writes

Thank you for your email. I just arrived back in the office from services yesterday when I left you a voicemail. I was out all last week for family emergency. I was going to reach out to you specifically in regards to this matter.

Amherst writes

Fionn's cremated remains and death certificates have been ready to be shipped out via Canada Post since last week, while I was away (Again, my staff Carla simply called your wife to confirm address and delivered our standard procedure to ask payment prior to sending as per contract signed, payments are due at the time of arrangement).

My response

Okay, let me stop you there, she wasn’t calling me she was calling someone else; because, once again, one more person on your staff couldn’t get my/our name right. YOU were supposed to handle this yourself.

Amherst writes

So I don't appreciate your wife accusing my staff of taking Fionn's ashes hostage. That wasn't what happened. We dealt with hundreds of families with same procedure and all of them never made such negative interpretations.

My response

SUCH HYPERBOLE! Bull shit. What about the time you sent a customer their loved one’s ashes and the delivery person wanted a tip and wasn’t going to leave until he got one?

That’s exactly how I FELT! We had a prior agreement to have them shipped directly. After your staff member got my name wrong and I had to correct her several times, she was asking for payment!

We can’t ship them unless you pay…her words, NOT MINE! In addition, you and your staff have the WORST COMMUNICATION! I thought you gave them a stern talking to? Sure you did, you’re full of shite!

That’s not what we’d agreed upon. YOU were supposed to handle EVERYTHING Scott. How would you feel if you were treated this way,?? I’ve read the reviews of families for whom you provided a service for and they were mistreated in pretty much the same way.

Your low ratings are proof of that. If you want to skate by on ratings, accolades and cards, Go nuts, however; for the people who are treated in the manner in which WE were treated, I say, get off you high horse!

You don’t appreciate that? Okay, you and your staff started this nonsense your staff obviously doesn’t give a shit about our name and our son’s name. Is this the best you can do Scott, really? You’re quite the mean girl!

Amherst writes

We will ship Fionn's ashes today (November 20, 2019). Once we have completed the shipment, we will email you the Canada Post tracking number. The package will have an original invoice. Please call our main number extension 105 for Kisha and she'll take your credit card information and process accordingly.

My response

The interactions were DEFINITELY DISRESPECTFUL. When the above noted staff member called to ask for clothes on October 30 for our son for the viewing on. October 31, she called him by the wrong name and then proceeded to TALK OVER ME! No ownership and no apology at that point. You think that’s ok? Then, to add insult to injury, you yourself said “I gave her strict talking to” Apparently that means NOTHING to you and your staff. When she called about the remains, I was shocked. You told us they would ship and we would’ve received them on November 4, no call was necessary and yes, it came across as holding on to them. The term held hostage comes from how both Nick and I felt.

Learn how to pronounce people’s names and improve your communication.

So now, once again you’re back-pedalling. First you apologize backhandedly, and then you pile on with lies!

All the while presenting youself as an upstanding business man who truly cares about people and their departed loved ones. BULLSHIT!

Amherst writes

kindly ask if you could do this yourself (and no longer involve your wife in this process) as there has been 2 interactions with different staff members that were unfortunate, but with no intentions of disrespect were ever meant by them. Again, these are the same staff whose other families rave about how caring and left warm notes about. There were clearly misinterpretations of their well-meaning intents. To add, both Carla and Juanita had lost family members themselves quite recently.

My response

Have you ever been married? Partnered in a long term relationship?

Did you honestly think that my husband wasn’t going to share this email with me? Kudos, you’re the meanest passive aggressive mean girl EVER!

You’ve obviously never had children nor had to lay a child to rest. Your business tactics are appalling. Wait, what business are you in again? Oh yeah, well, kind of hard know that because, you think your clients are responsible for your staff’s bereavement.

I don’t really care about your staff members’ losses. Healing your staff is not OUR JOB Scott, Quite frankly; OUR SON DIED and we were paying you for a service.

Not my monkeys, not my circus.

We wanted to pay you when we were in Vancouver, but, nooooo, you said I’ll ship the death certificates along with the invoice and cremated remains. Wow

I’m so glad we didn’t entrust you with our son’s obituary. You probably would’ve messed that up too.

I am SO thankful for Ethical Death Care in Winnipeg. Had I known your company would be such a disrespectful shit show, I would’ve had our son flown to Winnipeg for EVERYTHING!

I’m so glad your staff members’ have received lots of nice notes and letters

I have two letters to leave for you and your staff; they’re F and U.

Rest on your laurels because you do that so well!

APOLIGIZE AND MOVE ON SCOTT!

Amherst writes

I understand that this is a very difficult time for the family and I hope that sending Fionn home to you will start the healing process.

My response

No you don’t because you wouldn’t have sent this snot-filled drivel to my husband. If you have a problem with me and what I said to your staff, then address it with me…I don’t’ trust business people who are incapable of confronting a difficult situation and customer. You probably have a stronger word for me and that makes me very happy!

Please, save your condescending crap for another family who buys into your shit

Amherst writes

I thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. Should you have any questions or concerns, please kindly contact me directly.

Kind regards,( don’t say it if you don’t ‘mean it)

And finally, you have the audacity to leave my name off of the shipment of my baby’s ashes. You really are a hateful little, troll Scott.

Beware the patient woman, 'cause this much I know

No one calls you honey when you're sitting on a throne

[EDEN REVNIK] shares our delusions. They are [207], they are a [UPIR] who looks just like [KATE BECKINSALE]. They are a [SPONSOR]. While they might be [CALM], sometimes they get [VIOLENT]. They are a [DOM] in bed, and [PANSEXUAL]. They are into [PAIN PLAY and BLOOD PLAY] and want a [SUB/SWITCH] partner.

Bullet with Butterfly Wings // Tribe Society. The Hunter // Adam Jensen. Resurrection // TeZATalks. Raise Hell // Dorothy. Desire // Meg Myers. Kill Everyone // Hollywood Undead. Everything Black // Unlike Pluto. I Don’t Give A … // MISSIO. Gasoline // Halsey. Devil // Niykee Heaton. Guilty Filthy Soul // AWOLNATION. Holy Water // LAUREL. Like Em Young // Tove Lo.

Let My Feet Fall Heavy // Kill it Kid. Going to Hell // The Pretty Reckless. Problem // Natalia Kills

pale skin, blood stains, manacle laughter, smeared lipstick, spent shells, smoking guns, heavy promises, bubblegum bubbles, sweet smiles, sharp teeth, quick tongues, the smell of leather, sarcastic compliments, velvet touches, horror novels, the faint stench of death and smoke, brimstone, dark alleys, dimly lit rooms, hushed whispers, broken souls, clenched teeth, bloodshot eyes, lazy grins, the lingering smell of dirt, television static, expensive watches, forgotten commitments, bad decisions & empty promises, bruises and scars, sharp nails, dark circles, glitter, stale liquor, hard bass.

BASICS

-In all her years of living, the Upir had been nothing more than a bedtime story. A tale to tell children to keep them from falling to sin, to keep them pure. And it wasn’t until after her husband murdered her that she found out the truth.

-It had been a loveless, cold, arranged marriage. And her husband had been nothing short of mentally, physically, and emotionally manipulative and abusive toward her. When she found out she was pregnant was when she tried to run, but he caught her and ended up beating her to death.

-Her death activated the dormant gene she had been carrying and, as a means of revenge, ended up turning around and killing her husband. The violence, the blood, the weird and sudden freedom unlocked something in her, and for years, Eden was on her monster shit.

-There had been no learning curve in what she was, no manual on how to curb and quell everything she felt, so she ended up feeling everything so intensely that containing it, in any way, was next to impossible for her. By the time Eden ended up in Folie, she had massacred more people than she could count.

-Coming in as a sponsor wasn’t the best idea, but the notion of being anything below that was a direct offence. And, as a result, Eden ended up killing not one, but two rescues, in her short time as a sponsor. She had tried to hide them both, but eventually was found out.

-She’s just recently come off of probation, tbh.

-Eden is, by definition, a cougar. Now, being two-hundred years old, finding people younger than her isn’t exactly a chore. But boy howdy does she love them. The younger they look, the better she enjoys herself.

-She is also, admittedly, very extra in the way she lives her life. Mostly because she remembers what it’s like to be contained and controlled. She’s very much a roll with the punches kind of gal.

-Owner of Seven Sins Strip Club, she’s very protective of everyone who works there and has absolutely no hesitation in maiming anyone who opts to misbehave under her roof.

-Refuses to acknowledge her life before turning.

UPIR

-Cousin of the vampire.

-Weakness to iron.

-Always hungry.

-Enhanced Strength

-Enhanced Senses

-Enhanced agility

-Healing

-Glamoring

A Work of Street Art: The Best Murals in Nashville

As Nashville continues to grow, so does its street art scene. And the more I deviate from my normal route in Nashville—thanks, traffic!—the more I see bold, new murals popping up daily. I absolutely love it. They’re unavoidable, they’re stunning, and they really dress the place us.

I’ve spent the past several years photographing every mural I’ve found. This is an exhaustive list of murals we’ve tracked down in every corner of Nashville, but my no means all of them, as street artists are adding to Music City’s cultural fabric daily thanks in part to creative pioneers like the Nashville Walls Project, which has been connecting both local and international artists with building owners for a handful of years.

Still, whether you’re a local looking for a Spring Break staycation idea or traveling around Music City’s many neighborhoods on your next weekend getaway, I hope you’ll use this handy map as your guide—and drop descriptions of any murals you find that I may have missed in the comments so I can add them accordingly.

Note: This post was last updated in March 2019.

Germantown

The neighborhood I spend most of my time in thanks to my yoga studio’s location is also one that’s quite walkable and boasts a growing number of restaurants. Park your car near Werthan Lofts and hit up these walls and murals by foot.

Rolf & Daughters wall, artist: Shantell Martin

700 Taylor St. at 7th Avenue North

Waves mural, artists: Eastside Murals

5th Avenue North and Monroe Street

Nashville scenes, artist: unknown

Rosa L Parks Boulevard and Taylor Street, across from Werthan Lofts

Saint Stephen (previously Mop | Broom), artist: Nathan Brown

1300 3rd Ave. N

Kindness Is, artist: Rebekah & Sarah

1120 4th Ave. N (on the side of Juice Bar Germantown)

Beethoven graffiti, artist: Blek Le Rat

(on the side of Barista Parlor x Germantown)

Marathon Village

My friend Adrien Saporiti (formerly of DCXV Industries) is the brains behind the iconic “I Believe in Nashville” mural, which has been posted more than one million times from seven different continents and which you can now see in Marathon Village, Riverside Village and in 12South. I prefer the Marathon Village location as it’s usually devoid of large crowds (though parking is tricky), plus you can visit Nelson’s Greenbrier and Corsair distilleries while there.

I Believe in Nashville murals, artist: Adrien Saporiti

Clinton Street, 625 Main St. and 2702 12th Ave. S

Jefferson Street Corridor

For those interested in Civil Rights history, there are some fascinating pieces along Jefferson near the Tennessee State University campus, particularly beneath the I-40 underpass.

Green Fleet Bicycle Shop mural, artist: Dough Joe/Yusef Hubb

934 Jefferson St.

Gateway to Heritage murals, artists: various

Jefferson Street beneath I-40

blues singers mural, artist: unknown

Jefferson Street between 26th and 27th Avenues

Elks Lodge mural, artist: Dough Joe/Yusef Hubb

2614 Jefferson St.

The Gulch

The “Wings mural” as many call it became the first conversation starter in the Gulch, but a number of bright, splashy creations have joined the fray this year so it’s worth strolling down 11th Avenue South to see else what you may find.

#WhatLiftsYou Nashville Wings mural, artist: Kelsey Montague

11th Avenue South (near Biscuit Love/behind Taziki’s)

Google Fiber mural in the Gulch, artist: Chris Zidek

118 12th Ave. N (on the side of Whiskey Kitchen)

The Nashville Walls Project, artists: Ian Ross, Jason Woodside

11th Avenue South and Laurel Street

12th and Porter mural, artist: Kim Kennedy

114 12th Ave. N

Patagonia mural, artist: Nathan Brown

601 Overton St. (side of Patagonia)

Note: The addition of Patagonia replaced this mural, which was one of my all-time favorites and a collaboration between Nathan Brown and Chris Zidek. I am happy, however, that Patagonia kept the general theme of the mural and also hired the same artist to do it!

Plaza Artist Materials mural, artist: Maggie Sanger

633 Middleton St.

Country music icon murals (Dolly, Johnny, Loretta, etc.), artist: unknown

711 6th Ave. S (on the back of Ed’s Supply Company)

8th Avenue South + Wedgewood Houston

I predict this area rife in artist galleries and studios will be the next big neighborhood for murals if zoning codes don’t prevent them, but for now, you really have to go hunting to find them.

Pastel geometrics mural, artist: unknown

429B Houston St. (patio of Jackalope Brewing Company’s Ranch)

#OleAllDay Tennessee Tristar mural, artist: unknown

462 Humphreys St. (on the side of Ole Rights Management)

Life Can Be Sweet mural, artist: Susanna Chapman

1512 8th Ave. S (side of Baked on 8th)

Hillsboro Village

Hillsboro Village is changing dramatically; it’s now easier to arrive on foot than find parking. But if you can nab a coveted spot, there’s a paid lot behind Pancake Pantry just off Belcourt Avenue (be sure and get a ticket before you leave your car as meter maids here are brutal!). An hour is all you need to wander this small area on the Vanderbilt campus and snap a couple shots of its walls.

Hillsboro Village dragon mural, artists: David Glick, Adam Randolph

2102 Belcourt Ave. (across from the Belcourt Theatre)

Drippy Lips mural, artist: Donald “Drawbertson” Robertson

1814 21st Ave. S (on the side of UAL)

12South

12South is another one of those highly walkable ‘hoods with murals tucked around every corner. Park on one of the side streets—just make sure it’s not a residential-only parking area, as you will get a ticket—and walk from one length at Sevier Park to the other at 12South Flats.

Nashville at Heart rainbow mural (former), artists: Eastside Murals

2705 12th Ave. S

Note: This has now been replaced with this Nashville #PeaceLoveGoodDeeds mural instead.

Draper James wall, artist: unknown

2608 12th Ave. S

12South flowers mural, artist: unknown

2900 12th Ave. S (the side of Green Pea Salon)

Make Music Not War mural, artist: Relax Max

2902 12th Ave. S (the side of Epice, across from Green Pea Salon)

Halycon Bike Shop mural, artist: Aaron Martin

2802 12th Ave. S

Rivive! 12South, artist: Mobe Oner

2814 12th Ave. S

12South graffiti, artist: unknown

12th Avenue South and Elmwood Avenue (photo credit: Joe Hendricks)

Charlotte Ave./Sylvan Park

Many of the murals along Charlotte Avenue are located along one stretch installed by Off the Wall Charlotte, a project backed by the Greater Nashville Arts & Business Council with several corporate sponsors. They’re a bit tricky to reach by foot, so I recommend parking in the lot in front of AVO and crossing the street at the traffic light with your photographer poised on the other side of the busy road.

Avocado mural, artist: unknown

3 City Ave. (side of AVO)
