  • Nothing bad happening there. An artist I really like has a studio store there.  She paints bright happy paintings.

    I’m starting to get covid rage.  If one more idiot gets their grocery cart and stands in front of all the other carts to wipe it down, i’m going to go bruce lee on them. 

    Covetiquette dictates you grab your cart, walk it to an open area and do your friggin’ Silkwood hose-down of said cart out of everyone’s path. Manners people. It’s not all about you. Get the hell out of my way.

    I swear.  I vacillate between this wonderful beacon of hope and light to The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.  

    I can't decide at any given moment if I'm going to be irritated beyond my earthly bonds, or if I'm going to be weeping for humanity.

    This is one of her paintings I just find so whimsical fun.  And, I do a lot of copying of other's art because I can't afford their work, so may do my own version of this.

    So many possibilities to make it my own.  I wish I had my own ideas, but alas, I have no talent in the painting department.  I do a pretty fair job copying someone else, but to do my own original stuff? fuhgeddaboudit.

    I should show you guys some art I did in about 3rd grade.  I actually did them on canvas so they are saved till the end of time.  Eventually, I'm getting them professionally framed.  They are a horrible, terrible no good day's worth of art, but would be so hilariously fun to see treated like a masterpiece.    And when I die, one of my kids will be forced to take it.  Maybe even hang it up in their home.

    And to add to what you said scott, I think she has done mixed media with this one.  She uses acrylics and there is some pastel chalks in there, some sharpie action.  And then I think she's used those round sequin things and some glittery threads. 

    It's just silly fun.  I love the creativity of it.  There is no fear here.  

    My butthole tightens up like a really tight butthole when I try to be daring and try new things.  This painting shows complete freedom and a fearless fancy.

    Everything you ever made was just practice and a lead up to your Pasta Masterpiece that Stephen will now have to one day bequeath to his nearest and dearest. 😁

    I am saying this with all sincerity -- if you did art as a kid, frame it.  Nicely.  I mean nicely.  Don't just buy some 2 dollar frame.  Get it nicely framed.  It looks so fantastic.  And it's a keepsake to hand down.  

    We've been handed down things from our grandparents and parents. But what do I have to hand down that's me?  Something i bought at Target?  Or Walmart?  Some piece of crap that isn't anything really special?  These little works of art I've done are all of I have.  A bright and creative silly wonderful piece of me to give to all the future kids I'll never see.  I'll never know them.  I'll never get to hug them or tell them stories or play pretend with -- I'll never get to order Lizard Livers or Turtle Toenails from their pretend kitchen.  Or be the hooker pirate who gets to say, "This is my ship now."  Of course, little ones wouldn't know I was a hooker pirate, but in my heart, I would know.

    Find them Scott. Find them and frame them beautifully.  Showcase them like you do your Harlequins and army dioramas because they are even more special because they are YOU.
