Today’s first Non-themed “Honorable” mention is from Trainer AletsisG (@AletsisG) in Mexico 🇲🇽!
This postcard showcases a mural in Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City.
The piece depicts a "Shocked" tattoo-sleeved woman with wide eyes and an open mouth, adjusting her glasses against a distinctive background of pink and white mosaic-style patterns. It is rendered in a graphic, comic-book pop art style. This particular piece has become a popular backdrop for photography. Yep, selfie time! 😊
The artwork is located on the facade of City Tattoo Mexico (citytattoomex.com).
Unfortunately, the artist has not been specified.
⭐️ for a great sticker match!

Today’s second Non-themed “Honorable” mention is from Trainer AletsisG (@AletsisG) in Mexico 🇲🇽!
This postcard showcases a unique surreal mural located in Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City.
This piece is a hard one for me, and I admit my searches turned up nothing but garbage. So, you’re getting my unfiltered, unrefined, raw interpretation of this artwork.
It features a ballerina central figure wearing an armored horse's head. The piece incorporates chess imagery, specifically showing the figure standing near a large chess pawn and a floating crown. So it is my assumption that the ballerina represents the “knight” chess piece.
Overall, my interpretation on this one is this; it reads as a commentary on the intersection of innocence/dreams and harsh strategic realities — a delicate, performative femininity (the dancer) clinging to, disguised as, or romantically entwined with cold power structures (the armored chess knight), under the gaze of fate/authority (crown + pawn). It could reflect:
- A young girl/dreamer caught in or trying to embrace a world of calculated moves, competition, patriarchy, or adult power games.
- The tension between art/emotion and logic/control/mechanization.
The color palette (pinks and teals, dark knight, white pawn) and dreamlike style give it a whimsical yet slightly unsettling fairy-tale or Alice in Wonderland vibe — innocence stepping into a surreal game of strategy and destiny.
The postcard attributes this work to the artist “Arca”, however I could not find a street artist/muralist by that name. It is likely that "Arca" refers to Arca México, also known as Arca Galería (arcamx.com), which may have commissioned or promoted the mural, rather than a single individual street artist. This organization functions as both a gallery and a creative agency that specializes in urban art and muralism.
@Bubblesnconkie, what do you think of this one?
