3XL SLEEPING DOGS IMAGES SERIES
Mel magazine is running a series on the people and events of 1997, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of those things. Read about that and other cat-obsessive works from Utagawa Kuniyoshi at Illustration Chronicles. It is a spoof of another artist's series on those stations, but Kuniyoshi drew cats for each station and put them in positions that illustrated the pun opportunities of the station's name. An example of this is Kuniyoshi's Cats Suggested As The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō. His works included cats in the shapes of Japanese kana script, as anthropomorphic stand-ins for real people, and as puns. He loved cats and often drew with a kitten in the folds of his kimono. Many of Kuniyoshi's ukiyo-e woodblock prints featured cats. #Caturday #ukiyoe #cats #Japan /dh6sD9WM2O- curious ordinary April 16, 2022 'Cats Suggested as the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido' - Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 1850. Kuniyoshi's artworks even popularized full-body tattoos! And there's always more to explore from such a prolific artist. Renowned 19th-century Japanese illustrator Utagawa Kuniyoshi has made a mark on Neatorama with his illusions and puzzles, and the fact that he may have been a time traveler. It will probably be months before the north park entrance is reopened, which has us concerned about the person in that front-end loader stuck on the highway. Also, cell service, spotty to begin with, is affected.

Tourists are warned not to try to find accommodations in towns near Yellowstone, as there aren't many to begin with and this calamity has filled them. Meanwhile, the community of Gardiner is completely cut off to vehicle traffic ( see videos here) and many communities are without power. After inspecting other damaged roads, the National Park Service has closed all five entrances to the park at least through Wednesday, and possibly for longer. While the rest of the American West is suffering under a drought, intense flash flooding on the Yellowstone River along with rockslides and mudslides have destroyed the road that serves as the north entrance to the park, as you can see in the video above. I hope you didn't have reservations at Yellowstone National Park this week.
