Ársa Ach Ór

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

The Power’s whiskey (web) slogan “Old but gold” has here been translated into Irish as “ársa ach ór” and the red diamond from the ‘gold label’ is now agitating for “An Dream Dhearg [web] – #AchtAnoıs #CeartaTeanga” [The Red Group – #BillNow #LanguageRights].

There is also (below) a new tribute to Rónán Mac Aodha Bhuí, similar to the one at An Chultúrlann – for which, see Dorn San Aer.

At Tí Mhadáın/Madden’s Bar in Berry Street, Belfast city centre, replacing the Paddy mural.

The Belfast Tattoo Convention will take place on June 15th and 16th in the Europa Hotel (BelTel). So, here are pieces from two tattoo parlours in town – above, playing cards with death, on the shutters of Joker tattoo in North Street, and below, White Dragon on Botanic Avenue – as well as an ad for the convention of the shutters of Skull And Bones in North Street.

This is a piece of commercial street art painted at the corner of Marlborough Avenue and Lisburn Road on the wall of the Juice Jar (ig) by Visual Waste (ig). It uses the character of ‘the joker’ as played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight (2008); his catch-phrase “Why so serious?” has become “Why so juicy?”

See previously: the joker and catwoman in the city centre.
