Street art / murals in Tbilisi, Georgia (Sakartvelo). 2024. #streetarttbilisi #murals #sakartveloart #georgiaart #georgiamurals #2024art #streetart
A stencil of a girl in green with an expression on her face that could be bored, despondent, ennui-filled, apathetic, or a combination. A horizontal mural of a pink unicorn on a blue-green sky, surrounded by a yellow-white maze design on top of him. A horizontal mural of a burning car. A horizontal mural of a tired man sleeping on top of a makeshift pillow and flat mattress. Underneath his cot are sticks. A pot of soup is boiling beside him.

Best known as a classical monument, part of the Acropolis was an extensive Islamic burial ground for nearly 400 years, but this #archaeology has been nearly erased.

The Annandale Coin was a blast on 13 December 2025 in Annandale, VA! The show was pretty packed (maybe 1 empty table), but not as much foreign coins as previous shows.

Next show in the DMV area is Vienna, in Vienna, VA on 31 January 2025!
