It's Banner Time Again!

Since 2010, the St Michaels Art League has sponsored street banners along our 'main' street - actually called Talbot Street. This is an annual project with the theme "Celebrate St Michaels." Pretty much anything goes as long as it is somehow related to the town.

Each year I have painted a crab in some form. For the past several years, "Mikey" (as in St Michaels) has been doing a variety of things - carrying flags, hanging lanterns in the trees, skippering a boat, holding a beer stein, and licking an ice cream cone. (Many of my banners have been the subjects of former posts. Look back at late January or early February postings in prior years to see more)

So, the question is...."What is Mikey doing this year?"

Drum roll...ta da!

I am calling this "Aye, aye, Sir!"

Look for Mikey and all the other original banner artwork in the St Michaels Library in April. The banners should be hanging by mid-April along Talbot Street. They'll be there through the summer - probably until sometime in November!

Enjoy!
