While relatively little is written about Nyx, the Greek goddess of the night and mother of Hypnos (sleep) and Thanatos (death), she was reported to be of such exceptional power and beauty that she was feared even by Zeus himself. Only natural then that millennia later the all-female @MysticKreweofNyx parade rules the night at Carnival in New Orleans, becoming the celebration’s largest parade in only its sixth year. In Chattanooga, Miki Boni did her part to spread the notoriety of Nyx with this 2014 mural on McCallie Ave for the @GoodWithFaces curated McCallie Walls project. Boni calls herself “a student of character” and says she’s been studying and painting faces most of her life, including starting her career drawing street portraits in New York’s East Village.  @bonimiki
