Ummm… where to start? So, this post is sort of a weird crossover. You may remember a week or two ago when I offered to make your dreams come true in Photoshop… because I do have an interactive blog… I said I would turn you into what ever you wanted, a super hero, a cartoon, whatever. For a whatever reason, only two people took me up on my offer.
Until now… Because my new friend, A Z Gringa had a request… she wanted me to make her into a siren… no not the police car kind, the ones that sit on the rocks and lure sailors to their doom… hey, don’t judge, we all have our own dreams…
But she didn’t want me to use her real face… she is shy… she wanted me to use her gravatar image… so I did… sort of…
I think that came out rather nicely… and sort of creepy…
Now for the crossover part… The Gringa from Arizona is also the one who inspired the last post I did, where I encouraged you to rewrite a TV show theme song and put funny new lyrics to it, with bonus points if you make the words about my blog. I turned this idea into a contest on that post where we are breaking the world record for most comments on one blog post. Well, on top of that awesome rewrite of the Gilligan’s Island song that recounted a time I almost drowned, she just did this theme song…
———————————–
To the tune of The Flinstone’s Theme Song:
Arthur!
Let’s meet Arthur!
He’s the guy with only half a brain!
From the south of Cali
He’ll make you laugh until your side’s in pain
Back, Front!
That’s the way you’re s’posed to read
Do you
know the size of Art’s two feet?
When you visit Arthur
You’ll have a Photoshopping good time
A cartooning good time
You’ll break a word record!
Pouring My Art Out 
Love the pic & the song! And yes I sang it as I read it!
awesome
So how do we send you these pictures to make our dreams come true. I promise I don’t want to be a mermaid.
If you have some good sized photos of your head on your blog I can steal one… or you could email me with it… but I am on a tight schedule… I am going to be without Photoshop starting tomorrow for a week
I have. Email address?
It should be on my about page… or somewhere… everybody always manages to find it… I don’t know if I should put it here
You make a fine looking Fred.
Better than the ones I did of Dick Cheney as Fred…
ooohhh….you should do one of Dick Cheney as Dr. Evil!! Please! [Jumpy Claps!!]
hmmmm… that is a weird dream to be making come true… but I do hate that guy… did you notice I have a Dick Cheney selection in my word cloud in the sidebar? You should really click on that…
Definitely heading over to do that. Evil prick.
you are in for a treat
assuming you were talking about him and not me…
I’ll never tell.
sigh
Brilliant.
oh stop
I meant her poem… 😉
oh… dang it
What!!!!!!!!!!
I WANT TO BE A MERMAID!!!!!!!!
I need a picture…
Oh, I’ve heard THAT before.
Just kidding.
Can you steal my blog profile photo???
I can try… they are very small… I will see what I can do.
you are now a mermaid… go look… go go go go go go go
You are sooooo bloody weird. “Sort of creepy”? Really?
I make them come true… I do not interpret them
We may need a team of shrinks to interpret that image…
Don’t over think it
Okay.
ha
Wow… where do you find people so cool that they would do this for you… oh… wait…
That Gringa is a pretty talented siren.
She will hopefully end up with full minion status before long
HEY! Can I use this as one of my rotating headers? I will add a byline and a link back to your blog and everything…
of course you can
w00t!
…ooo000ooo…
whenever I see that i imagine people in a crowded stadium doing the wave.
It can be whatever you want it to be
that’s just what happens in my head. the sound is the doppler effect on the people saying OOO when they stand up.
I am weird.
you might be
possibly
we agree on that
You could use this as your new gravatar…lol
I could. 🙂
And drivers license picture…
only if I can add a collander on top of my head.
sure… why not?
why can’t state DMV offices be as accommodating as you?
Because I don’t work for the government… as far as you know…
those dark glasses tell a different story.
shhh… don’t make me kill you
::runs away::
wise
and as a Christmas card
Oh that would rock!
Blow it up and hang it on your wall
lol
oh yeah
Reblogged this on Bleached Bone Valley and commented:
I feel like a supastah, and you can, too. Just go see Art. He can turn you into a siren. Or a superhero. He’ll definitely turn you into a friend.
Go on. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
I’d love to be a cartoon, but I have no idea what type of cartoon. Maybe you can think of something. Would you please give it a shot? Thanks!
uh… you are going to trust me to just do whatever I want? I need a picture… a bigger one than the gravatar… and at least some idea of what you might want… and for you to sign a waiver…
I will find something that is more than just my face. But i would love a mermaid character, not thin, just sticking her head out of the water of the cenote. I will send you examples via email, and of course I will sign the waiver, but I may not to want it to be my profile. Christmas stuff and the like.
wait… what is a cenote??? and is the Little Mermaid too thin? Because she is the cartoonist mermaid I know…
That is… OMFSM… SO PERFECT! thankyouthankyouthankyou! Also, I issed a etter in those lyrics. Damn.
I guess “word record” works. Right? RIGHT?
Nice Fred/Art, too. Wait… is that a FART?
no it is not
is too.
hey now
HA-ha! <— Nelson laugh
Willie? Mandela? Horatio?
the big bully kid from The Simpsons… ummm… Nelson Munce!
ahhh…
as opposed to???
umm…”world record”, maybe?
but it is a word record… it is a play on words… and worlds…
yeah, that’s why i said it does work the way it is.
I am confused now.
I didn’t know where the missing letter was… I was confused first
heeheeheehee!
What a pair we are.
a pair of gazongas???
::facepalm::
00
maybe I did that… I can edit it if I can find it… and now you can copy and paste the picture and do stuff with it… I suggest a Christmas card… or… reblog my post…
I totally saved the picture, and I am going to reblog the post. Of course. duh.
Just an idea
