Meanderings 9/23/2014

Meanderings 9/23/2014

Some new work for your optical nerves:


"Deluxe Divining Rod"
Pretty wild stuff, actually, that a stick can help one find H2O.
(http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Dowsing-or-Divining-Rods)



"Popcorn Heart (for K)"
This was an actual piece o' popcorn from a batch of Kelly's late night snacks. Can't really take credit for anything more than jus' gluin' the thang onto foamcore.



"White-Capped Aquarium"
You actually can't even see the whitecaps . . . just take my word for it. Kinda proud o' this one.



"A Relatively Useless Basket (Skalski)"
A commissioned piece, of sorts for an old high school buddy and his lovely wife. 
They also like my pickles.



"A Relatively Useless Basket"
A series, no two are the same.



"A Relatively Useless Basket (Mini)"
Smaller version.


Poets, rappers and anyone interested in a rhyme have long been flustered and flummoxed over the inability to come up with a soundalike word for that damn citrus fruit, the orange. I have decided that the time is nigh to remedy that problem. I have taken the liberty to "invent" some words that will allow the rhyming class to come to terms with this age old problem.

My gift to you. You're welcome.

ectowournge (n) [êk'-tō-wærnj]: the outer surface of a used crustacean.
          Example: "The beach was rife with crab ectowournge after Monty's beach party."

phlornge (v) [flörnj]: flapping one's legs as though they are wings.
          Example: "Bob's wife loved to phlornge with the neighbor's dog, Effie."

ournge (v) [ørnj]: the intentional eating of an orange peel.
           Example: "The whole 6th grade class at Wenchestrick middle school dared Darren to ournge the whole crate."

dystopiornge (adj) [dù-stōp'-ē-örnj]: a hellish orchard.
           Example: "The back 40 had a dystopiornge odor, not unlike Stella's inner pant leg.

borange (adv) [bõrnj]: the quality of being a lackluster citrus.
            Example: "Tommy ate the fruit with a borange-like attitude."

First Day of September



Damn, summer's waning. In the past, I've looked forward to Autumn, then Winter/holidaze - not this year. First time. Whaddya gonna do? Would I move if I had the dough???

OK. Chose your fights, right?

Will get on a big metal bird in three days, always been trepidatious 'bout that. A couple o' Xanax and some whiskey on the flight will hopefully drain me of all fear. Never been to California, it will be nice to see Mick and Phi Ha.

Been true to the last post, and workin' a lot in the stoodio, and it feels really good. Good stuff (I think).

Does anybody look at this fuggin' thing???

Current documentation:


"A Relatively Useless Basket"



A couple o' the drawings/cartoons going (hopefully) in to the Toledo Free Press


"I'm the One Who Stole Your Goatee"


With The Homewreckers @ Fashionably Late, Centennial Terrace, 8/22/14


My absolute favorite quadped on the whole damn planet.


She's so purty
