The Artist
I have been reading this book I got from the library...

THE CREATIVE LICENSE, GIVING YOURSELF PERMISSION TO BE THE ARTIST YOU TRULY ARE
by Danny Gregory
http://www.dannygregory.com/store.php

So far I give it 5 stars!
and so far the book has inspired me to:

1. Start an art journal that I write and draw in every day.
2. Use a pen instead of a pencil for all of my drawings.
3. Think better of my artistic ability.
4. Use more of my otherwise wasted time drawing.

I filled up my last page of a sketch book last night and was a little bummed thinking that I did not have the money to go out and buy another right away. 
(Or the  friggin extra gas to go to the art store)
So I started thinking... my art journal that I started is more like an altered book...I took one of my old books that I have used and abuse already in some of my mixed media paintings and used it for my journal...it's really kinda cool so far.
Oh back to what I was thinking...all of the BLANK pages that are in books, you know there are always like one or two in the front and back of every book....and I have LOTS of old book that I use the pages out of for my art just SITTING around. Oh and by the way... just so you know these are the books that my library and the little book store in my library puts in the dumpster because they are soooo old and falling apart...so they call me every once in a while and ask if I want any of them before they dump them. So I feel good about being a recycle queen and NOW i'm gonna take all of those blank pages and draw and paint on them! I'm gonna save what little money I have and not go to the art store!
By the way....GWB where the hell is my stimulus check?

I did not know you can't say the word "shit" on ebay ... did you? 
I listed my aceo "Three nuns walk into a bar" and could not figure out to save my life why 
it wasn't showing up on any of the searches. duh... one little shit and they won't index your 
listing. Yes, they will list all kinda other crap out there but my slightly dirty little nun joke
and OH NO!
So I changed it to sh*t and now it has a bid....yea me.

Three nuns walk into a bar

and asked for a bottle of brandy to go.

The bartender said, "I can't sell you brandy

-- you're nuns!" The oldest nun said,

"It's alright, son. It's for medicinal purposes.

Mother Superior has constipation."

The bartender said, "Well, I guess it's alright then,"

and sold them a bottle of brandy.

A few hours later when he was closing the bar,

he heard laughing and singing in the alley,

so he went over to investigate.

Lo and behold,

there were the same three nuns -- drunk!

The bartender got angry.

"I thought you said that brandy was

for Mother Superior's constipation!"

"Oh, it is," said the one nun.

"She's gonna shit when she sees us!"

Winter Fun!

SEX and BEER

SEX

"The tree of good and evil"



Painted on a 9.5" x 7.5" x 2" recycled wood cigar box.

 

I used acrylics, watercolors, pastels, inks, and pages from a vintage sex education book - 1973 Adolescent sexuality in contemporary America: personal values and sexual behavior, ages, thirteen to nineteen

 

by Robert C Sorensen

 

Kind of a strange book filled with questionnaires for boys and girls. Questions about how they feel about sex and every other question was about politics.

 

SEX AND POLITICS - yea that was the 70s alright.

 

I used mostly BLACK, PURPLE, and a bit of GREEN. I sealed the whole thing with varnish and there is a hole in the back to hang it. 

and Beer!


"Beer Star"



In Heaven There Is No Beer

(No beer?!)

That's why we drink it here

And when we're all gone from here

Our friends will be drinking all the beer.

 

 

I used a recycled wooden cigar box, vintage book pages, metal (that I hand cut).

 

This piece has an old-world look to it.

 

I sealed it compleatly with varnish.

 

 

YES, you can get SEX and BEER on ebay...just click the image!

The Gardener

Here is his story....

Non compos mentis
“The Gardener”

Grady Eugene Barnes has been at Mrs. Blathersby’s orphanage as long as anyone can remember. Grady was never adopted and stayed on as the orphanage’s gardener after he became an adult. The sisters would often say he was “Non compos mentis” (not of sound mind) Grady thinks they talked that way in front of him so as he wouldn’t know what they were saying….but Grady knew.
Grady has never been one to talk much but he does like to hum a good tune….the gardens around the orphanage has been his life…watching the flowers grow and the children too.
It’s rumored that he fell in love once with one of the young Nuns that worked at the orphanage. Sister Mary Rose and Grady were often seen walking in the gardens together…late in the evening after the children were long in bed Sister Mary Rose would slip out to the gardens and meet Grady.
The guilt being too much for the young sister she left the orphanage with only a note behind for poor Grady. He buried the note and some say his heart in the garden behind the roses.

Grady is on ebay .
