Well, I do pride myself on having an interactive blog… and I did promise to make your dreams come true… in so far as my meager Photoshop abilities would allow… and now everybody wants to be a mermaid…
So, in to particular order, here is my first attempt at this kind of dream fulfillment. This is for my friend, Aussa Lorens, over at: http://aussalorens.com/
I hope she likes it… and I hope you do too.

Pouring My Art Out 
I like it!
well of course you do
Very nice! I love her expression.
thanks… I didn’t do that part…. HA!
This is great! Love Aussa’s hair. 🙂
I had to work it…
I know her, she has that Hacker Ninja Hooker Spy Mermaid blog!
Exactly
This series is great, Art. I’ve read it backwards which, in retrospect, is appropriate. Aussa is a wild and magical creature. Captured well!
Every person has their own magic… and dreams

Yes, you captured Aussa perfectly! PERFECTLY! I really like the hair.
Just totem pole me. Use your imagination.
or tiki maybe not totem pole. whatever.
yeah whatever
you know I need a picture to do this, right?
email me a pic
That sounds so dirty… HA! I may do a tiki…
*GASP* I love it. Seriously, I’ve always wanted to be a mermaid. I spent about an hour explaining this to the Boyfran the other night. On our 1 Year Anniversary. It wasn’t sexy, but it was important for him to understand.
YAYYYY!!!! Magic!
Feel free to use the picture if you want
Consider it done 😉
cool…
I made your hair bigger… I had to fake the whole top…
Haha I wish it looked like that in real life 😉
I would make one hell of a hairdresser
Umm, I wanted to be a mermaid first…
I need a picture
can I use that one of you reading the book in your sidebar… is that you?
of course it’s me, silly.
so can I use that picture?
yes. if you want to.
ok
you are now half fish… go look…
I’m a trend-setter?
since when?
who knew???
RIGHT?
indeed
just out of curiosity… how many mermaids are you doing?
just one more so far…
oh, man. You had me thinking there was a line or something. which, you know, would have been kind of cool…
well, three is almost a line…
as long as we all understand I was first in line.
Yes, I am going to milk this whole “trendsetter” thing for all it’s worth.
Also, I wrote a poem in my sleep. I now expect everyone to write sleep poems.
I do all my best work in my sleep
this is mixing up in my head with the conversation about how you do a mermaid and it’s getting very strange.
Are there two conversations here?
wait… I just re-read that comment… how many mermaids am I doing??? can you rephrase that>?
if you can explain exactly HOW you do a mermaid, you can do as many as you want.
you will eventually reach some posts where I show step by step how to do Photoshop stuff… sort of…
::facepalm::
I suppose there is that interesting looking famous green mermaid with the split tail…
They all have the split tail… Photoshop is tricky, and expensive…
I know. I KNOW!
Oh! My poor laptop. My poor, poor laptop. 😦
Did you try slapping it?
by the way, there should have been a byline on my page’s header but something seems to have gone wrong with my theme. I’m trying to fix it now. I had CS4 on my poor dead laptop, but no such thing on this monstrosity. I’m trying to download a portable copy of GIMP.
*sigh*
I have sunk so low.
There is always lower to sink… HA!
oy.
That is like driving through L A and saying how light the traffic is… asking for trouble
I’d have thought she’d be flipperier.
you don’t know her at all…
do you want me to do one of you? I could make you look like a wave… HA!
Gee…how does one react to an offer like that anyway?
By washing over me and slamming me to the sea floor???
Fabulous. Totally jelly.
jelly fish
wait… you wanted to be Dr. Evil? I need a picture to do it with…
That wasn’t my wish …but now I’m weirdly into seeing what that would look like.
Also, I always wanted to be Betty Rubble. She was way hotter than stupid Wilma.
hmm… there’s a shot of my face on my about page. Also several in various posts, but who’s got time to search through those. About page is easiest to grab.
no… wait… you wanted Dick Cheney to be Dr. Evil… right?
I did a picture with Betty Rubble running away with me in my ‘ why I want to be a cartoon’ series
I will have to look that one up.
Take a scroll… it isn’t that far down there
sorry… I can’t use that picture… it is too grainy…
Okay, so I’m woefully bad at posting pics that I’m not sweaty/sweating/wearing a bball cap in on my blog. 🙂 I know for sure there’s one post that has pics with my offspring here: http://myyearofsweat.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/the-beauty-of-simplicity/ I have no idea if they’re grainy or not.
uh… your eyes are really red in that first one… hold on…
I might be able to work with the second one… I will let you know…
Oh good grief. It was not meant to be. I’ll be Betty in my dreams. 🙂
don’t give up so easily… isn’t that what you say right on your blog?
Blame it on the snot factory which is my head at the moment. I’m a cranky bitch. Need to take everything the drug store will sell me. BRB.
ok… are you there… I did a picture… it is very subtle… you will either like it or love it… but I want to wait until you are there so I can post it and if you hate it I will take it down…
I am here but fading due to fever delirium.
can I post the original picture too…?cropped down to just your head?
Sure
give me 5 minutes…
I feel like we’re planning a wedding.
I just posted it… this is way more intimate than some silly wedding… I had to peel your face off and stick it on someone else…
Also, if you don’t hate it, this post will last longer than most marriages…
It’s awesome! Thanks!
Feel free to use the picture for anything you want… blog posts… posters… Christmas cards… HA!
Yes, my glamour shot. I’ll be sure to use it often. 🙂
I still think I could have done better… her face was so wide, and it was all one single color… it was just tricky.
hmm…let me think what other cartoon I dream of being…
Well there’s slutty Lois from Family Guy – but she’s a jowly bitch too. Not sure my wee face would fit in her wide load.
Keep thinking about it… I have a few people who have already signed up… and I need to take the next week off from this, but if you remind me after that, I will do a better one for you… especially if you let me use a bitstrip or a better picture.
deal.
because… you know… the crack squirrels, they forget stuff.
disgusting vermin.
try having a bunch of them living in your head…
No room for them here. I’ve got old gym teachers barking at me 24/7.

ok… are you still wanting to be Betty… or Dr. Evil… or what?
Dr evil would rock my world. As a bonus can you make Aussa into Mr Bigglesworth? 🙂
I don’t know about that last part…
okay – you then. Someone’s got to be Mr. Bigglesworth.
sigh
🙂
yup
I didn’t use the comic one… just so you know
go look… go go go go go… and tell Aussa to look too…
You. Nailed. It.
well now you are just going crazy
wait… is that you on the ‘this is me page’… ha!
Who else would it be? Freak. 🙂
Some people do not post pictures of themselves.
