Cat(s) And A Bee?

These fellas are to be found on a utility box around the corner, the artist might be TYR, but I found nothing further.
The Hello Kitty might´ve likely been added by someone else. 
 
It is simple. But I like it. Makes me smile every time, though the bee or alien looks a bit stressed - but aren´t we all sometimes? 

This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.

The internet series:

"The Dangers of Fashion in the Victorian Era 

 


Deadly clothing  

The daughter of Victorian Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel died after her riding dress was completed in the home of a seamstress who had used it to cover her husband, who was suffering from typhus.
Women dragged their long skirts through the dirty streets of the city, where disease flourished." 
 
The countdown to Creep: 


(Hups. Ignore the time-stamp on the work-PC... I put it on for better light only. I start at 06:00 a.m.... of course...).. 

Limpy, the Tram-driver, can see the queue will get longer and soon "BOMBARDIER" will not be visible anymore - which is no problem as "we" are long "ALSTOM" anyways.

Henry ๐Ÿฆ


  To a good new week!

Dear friend Iris, I love your drawing. Creep and Limpy made me smile. Henry has an itch.
Don't be stressed is great advice.

As for the burnout in my blog post title, l am not experiencing burnout, thankfully, but there was an image and quote on my post that may be helpful to anyone who may be struggling with it.

Thank you so much for your concern, you are a wonderful friend ๐Ÿงก Sending you much love and warm hugs.

Dear friend Linda, this really is a "mural" on a utility box :-)
Glad you don´t suffer burn-out. I didn´t even know until the lady at the job center said it. It´s a silent "desease". My friend says it hits strong people, so at least I feel strong ๐Ÿ˜Š And it´s good you point it out, it´s like depression. Just look at the wonderful man Robin Williams was - no one thought he might suffer that. Much love and hugs on the way to you ๐Ÿฅฐ

That's certainly quirky art on that utility box.

Loving your Victorian series. That is SO true about the long dresses in the dirty streets.

Iris Flavia said...

To de-stress, right!
Am I glad we wear "casual" mostly these days and are "clean"... Just had a load of laundry done!

Sami said...

It's a cute mural Iris. Sorry muddled myself by preparing 6 weeks of murals for while I travel, and obviously entered the wrong date for this one so the linky wasn't open. Now fixed and I've entered your post. Those heavy dresses of the Victorian times were awful!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, dear Sami, for entering me!
Glad we live in these times, huh! Clean and easy with the clothes - though they get ticker here now, brrr, getting cold!

Bertiebo said...

That's quite a story, about that dead woman.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, glad we overcame this!

Tom said...

...Henry, scratch the itch!

CJ Kennedy said...

I love the tram line. Is #6 chocolate or plastic? Either way he looks good enough to eat.

Iris Flavia said...

At it, Tom, relax ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Na-naaah, don´t eat - plastic it is!

Jeanie said...

That IS a cute mural!

RedPat said...

I like the cute little figure in the mural, Iris.
28˚C here today.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Jeanie!

DVArtist said...

Iris, you just make my day. Happy Monday candy, yummmm

Iris Flavia said...

28C, RedPat!!! Please party for me, too!!! (Figure says thank you).

Iris Flavia said...

Sorry to disappoint you, dude´s all plastic! But happy he made your day :-)

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Dear friend Iris, thank you for the clarification that this was a mural.
As far as burnout and depression go, I post things on my blog about these things and anxiety because I know that many people struggle with them.
Yes, so sad about Robin Williams.

A cute mural.
Can't believe it's Monday again! The days whizz by.

All the best Jan

Nice mural, Iris. Have a wonderful new week.

That gives me the chills to think the seamstress used the cloth to cover her sick husband and then turned it into a dress. People knew so much less about diseases then. But here in the US we have too many people in charge who don't know anything about diseases either. Hope it was a good Monday. hugs-Erika

I love Trivia, mostly history. No way no how I would like to be living in the Victorian age.
