People in bear suits?
What do you title something like this?
Maybe they arnt actually people.
Ever think of that? Maybe they are
born with the bear suit.
Maybe there are hundreds of
such colonies populating far away places
walking around looking cute
(not to mention defying the laws of gravity)
while viciously plotting the death of all humans.
Ever think of that?
I know you didnt.

Me and My Suspicious Mind

Fact: Colonel Tom Parker, EP's manager, ordered
an air conditioned coffin BEFORE Elvis had died.
Now why would he do that?

(The Colonel was also an illegal Dutch carnie).
Theory: I am suggesting foul play.

Some day my relentless research will pay off and I will prove it.

Hold on to your rhinestones Elvis Aaron, justice will be done!

Be Realistic for Once!

Personally, I think all women should

have cleft chins and all men

should wear their hair like Elvis.

I think that "Last Train to Memphis"

should be taught in high school

and that LeeAnne should win an Oscar

by the year 2010 and never have to

work a corporate job. I think that cold

computer labs are an abomination

and that the Colonel should be burned

in effigy every January 8th. I think that

banana cream pie is disgusting and that

bananas themselves are slightly questionable.

But I love oranges.

Personally.

In Greek mythology the Muses are a sisterhood of goddesses or

spirits, their number set at nine by Classical times, who embody

the arts and inspire the creation process with their graces and

beauty. They were water nymphs associated with the springs

of Helicon and with the Pieris, and as a consequence they are

sometimes called the Pierides.

Apollo, God of War, was their leader.

Not only are the Muses explicitly

used in modern English to refer to an inspiration,

they are also implicit in the words

"amuse" or "musing upon."

......

.....

....

...

"Waalllaaa!"

The Muse is dead. Long live the Muse.

I really should just use my sister for all current and future

red-head needs. Because she is better looking than

this pseudo-Renaissance wench.

And she doesnt have cartoon hair.

Oil on Canvas, and a little bit of gold leaf paint.

I have no soul

2008-01-06T10:21:00.000-08:00

Summer 2007.

Marker and watercolor on watercolor paper.

And incidentally, I DO have a soul.

This guy does not. How sad.

He also has no internal organs.

And who's to say that a soul resides in one's abdomen?

I admit it is a gross overgeneralization on my part.

However, if you will notice, he does have a tie.

Its very important to be physically respectable

when you have misplaced your soul.

Oil on canvas

September, 2007

Bruce said "Just paint what you feel tonight, it will be an experiment"... so I painted what I felt, and look! Another mopey melancholy androgynous with a strange haircut staring off pensively into the distance. How refreshing! Im so predictable I scare myself.

The RainbowVine GlitterWhip

2008-01-02T20:21:00.000-08:00

Claire sat down finally, as the
Rainbow Vine Glitter Whip
Flip-snapped and dance-giggled
Above her and
Grew progressively
More irritated
As she ruminated
Over the idiotic assumption that
She would figure life out
In just 100 years (!!!!!)
“It seems a gross and juvenile oversight”
She spat to a nearby Snurffle.
“Meeelllaaaak….” The Snurffle began,
But before he could finish, the
Rainbow Vine Glitter Whip ATE HIM RIGHT UP.
“Tee hee!” it gleefully pop-snickled,
And slizzed off,
Joyajazz,
Straight into
The most
Dangerous
Part
Of
The
Frickle.

Anthony and Akreesh Meet Again

2008-01-02T20:02:00.000-08:00

"Anthony was at first, worried that Akreesh would say that his new tattoo was "a bit much" and snicker that derisive laugh of his, but then he realized that Akreesh was just an abstract fish-like form (composed haphazardly of india ink and glitter nail polish) and stopped worrying forever about silly things such as acceptance and other people's opinions.
