Heroes and Villains (PiPs x 2)

Heroes and Villains  (PiPs x 2)
Pictured at Birnbeck, Weston Super Mare both the wall and 'window' have suffered the ravages of time. The 'logo' on the top of the window is that of the Secret Society of Super Villain Artists. Little is known about the society but it appears to have been started by a street artist using the name Silent Bill inadvertently when he put the logo online some years ago, along with an application form and was inundated with responses. It is said that it a society looks on itself as a family. It holds events and the artists support each other. They also give back to society by supporting charities such as animal welfare, foodbanks and the homeless and raises awareness of injustice in society, often donating their work for the good of those who could not afford to buy it.

Beside the face on the bottom panel you can see the words 'I Love Her'. Well someone loved her enough to bring her a hot drink on a cold day it would seem!!

I guess that makes them modern day heroes so I have added a track by the Beach Boys called

Heroes and Villains

www.youtube.com/watch?v=43PXSb3a4j8

and seeing that the anonymous person clearly loves her I am also adding 'And I Love Her'

by the Beatles

This is such an interesting mix of textures, shapes, social commentary and decay. It really does have so many messages, Carol. The discarded coffee cup adds another chapter to the tale.
Have a lovely day, Carol.

Ecobird club has replied to Diana Australis club
Thank you very much Diana. I photographed her many years ago and it was nice that she was still there albeit a little more weathered now! The logo fascinated me so I tried to find something out about it. I left the cup in the photos as it seemed to be part of the story somehow.
This artisitic group has members around the world I gather but it is nice that they are hlping others whilst enjoying what they do artistically.

Thank you very much George, I remember taking a photo years ago but then it was just the face without the logo and words and it was of course much brighter and fresher. I am pleased you liked the links. We have been wallowing in nostalgia recently enjoying all the old music - and loving it!!

Ecobird club has replied to Schussentäler club
Thank you very much. I photographed her years ago when the building was in much better condition and the paintwork was blue and fresher. The 'logo' claiming her is new though so I wanted to find out something about this secret society!!

Enjoy the rest of your week. Best wishes Carol

C"est une belle découverte, chez nous les artistes se retrouvent dans une association créée par Michel Collucci " Coluche " les Restaurants du coeur " les motifs de son existence multiforme sont malheureusement simples, la précarité, la faim, la misère. Bonne continuation Carol
2 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Dominique Sarrazin club
Thank you very much Dominique. I took pictures here years ago when the boards were blue and there was no logo. The lady seems to have been claimed since then which compelled me to look up this secret society.

Thank you for information about your own like minded society, Anything thaat encourages artists is a good thing, I wish them huge success - and full stomachs!!!

A great walled scene with this terrific window spotlighted by the red coffee beaker. I suspect that was yours to give extra eye appeal and attraction. It works well for me. Well done.

Ecobird club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thank you very much Herb. No it wasn't actually. We never buy take out coffee. It was already there, and with the words it looked like a gift for the lady!! I was initially tempted to move it but decided it fit there too well so it stayed.

Thank you very much Maggs. I had been tempted to move the cup but is just seemed to fit. I look forward to seeing the progress but I will be kind of sorry to see her go. I first took a picture of her here years ago, - no cup and oddly no logo so someone has claimed here in the meantime!!

I like the idea of a Secret Society of Super Villain Artists :-) And also the idea that someone brought her who he loves a hot drink. I guess now she knows it too...in case she didn't before ;-)

Thank you very much dear Marie. I imagine it will disappear in the renovation of the Birnbeck Pier area. A shame though. But if it takes as long as it has to agree and get started on the project she will be safe for some years to come yet!!!!

From what I have read the secret society not only exists but is thriving. I like the fact they are doing some good and 'giving back'. Me too!!

Have a lovely afternoon and evening. Best wishes and kisses!

Hi Carol
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition, especially the coffee cup. I could guess who left it there!
Great idea --- Start a secret society, then tell everybody it exists, but is so secret and exclusive!
Best Wishes, and stay safe!!

The paper cup placed there contrasts with the rest of the room, worn by time, but it doesn't look bad at all.
What remains of the sign appears perfectly clear when we enlarge the photo.
Warm greetings

Thank you very much Fabio. I left the cup in place as someone has written 'I love her' beside the lady's face and fancifully I thought it looked as if someone had brought his love a drink!!

Ecobird club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
Thank you very much Doug. It first caught my eye some years ago. The face and the colours intrigued me. Taking these photos this time I was pleased to see the face was still there despite all the deterioration. The simple 'I Love Her' really appealed to me too. I didn't remove the cup, tempted as I was as it seemed a part of the story and I don't like adding or taking things out for the sake of the photo really.

Havea lovely evening. Best wishes Carol
