LOTS AND LOTS OF ART TODAY

SCULPTURE

=1=

=2=

The way the shards on her chest line up like a necklace bothers me.

=3=

I'm going to call this a sculpture even though it is not...

I have a phone older than that.

=4=

You know it's a BBQ type holiday weekend when there are a thousand people in the spice aisle at the grocery store just staring at the spices.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Remember me?

=6=

=7=

Here's what that beach reminds me of...

=8=

=9=

Look carefully...

He glues the silhouettes on the glass.

=10=

Mesmerizing.

=11=

How do you show off your status if it's too hot to wear clothes? You wear fancy hats.

=12=

Don't look back.

=13=

Humans share 70% of our DNA with zebrafish. So when you're having difficulty getting anything done, it's usually because a zebrafish is using the DNA.

WOMEN: The Decorative Sex

The Decorative Sex is the name for these first couple of murals.

=14=

I think that you will agree that naked women have been used in art much, much more than naked men.

=15=

Imagining this belongs to a beautiful woman is sexy.

Imagining it belongs to a man is just freaky.

=16=

One reason is that men just don't know how to pose...we just stand there.

=17=

The straightness of her heel and the straightness of her leg. The curve of the shoe picked up in the curve of the hair.

Let's be honest, if you had a choice of working at McDonald's for minimum wage or working on a stage naked for a couple of hundred dollars a night. Which would you do?

=19=

"I'm married to a raving lunatic."

- Actual quote from my wife, yesterday, confiding in our neighbor's Golden Retriever.

Joke's on her. That dog tells me everything.

Sorry for the poor quality, but it was too good to delete.

MURALS

I loved being a muralist. The positive feedback was constant. Total strangers would thank me as if I were a hero.

=20=

=21=

Notice how the carefully avoided the windows.

I'm not sure a like the red shadows. Why not gray?

=22=

=23=

=24=

=25=

My specialty was architectural illusion.

That is not one of mine.

=26=

If I've learned anything from movies, it's that if you're packing for an important mission, you should definitely pull your knife out of its sheath and then put it back in to make sure it's still there.
