    The skull-owning really tips the scales, doesn’t it?

    I had to go & have a look. It will take some time for my eyes to heal…
    But I found this text beside a particularly lovely painting strangely Mel Gbison like as he, the subject, wanders through a meadow…

    “The Artist Proof on canvas is 20″ x 24″. There are only 150 of these available and the cost is $795.”

    Do you think the artist uses celebrity photos as a base for the figures in his work? The painting called “Storm Pilot” seems to have our Lord protecting someone who looks very like a young Sting.

    I used to live in a share house in West Brunswick – you’ll all nod your heads when I say “share house”, I think – and one of the young doods there had bought a real skull from university and it occupied our coffee table most days. The skull was hinged and had a cute little brass hook to close it.

    Forgive me, I was young.

    Tigtog, you know I rarely pimp my blog, but you must go over to my place or Shakesville and check out the hedgehog. Tig means hedgehog, dunnit?

    Originally I thought this was a parody of those figures that show Christ running behind kids playing soccer,etc.

    I once came home to find a housemate eating M&Ms out of my skull.
