Art Show & Tell, of a Point of Order, add a little ice cream, my just reward. A young woman, lingering with a tattooed crowd in downtown Edmonton near the library, complimented my artwork. After finishing my rapidly melting ice cream in the 24°C heat, I walked over to her gang to show the backside, titled Disorder. Suddenly, a young man lunged at me. "Get the f*** away from here!" he snapped. Before I could react, the group's indigenous matriarch—Mama Tattoo—spoke up. "I like your painting," she said, her voice confident and steady.
The young man’s demeanor shifted. He looked at my artwork again, his expression softened, "That's nice artwork." he admitted.
