Yes, I am still offering to take pictures of you and use Photoshop to stick your head in some unlikely places. If you want to get some ideas of what that might look like, I suggest you use that search thingy… up there in the top bar… the thing that looks like a magnifying glass… and search the other nine ‘making your dreams come true’ posts… because sometimes they turn out pretty weird… especially when people trust me to do whatever I want to with their heads.
This dream isn’t weird at all.
My friend over at: http://theviewfromadrawbridge.wordpress.com/ … and yes, she really worked on drawbridges, which is totally cool… had a simple dream. She wanted me to stick her head on that picture of Mary Tyler Moore. You know the one… in the opening credits of the Mary Tyler Moore show where she is throwing her hat up into the air.
The thing is… why does there always have to be a thing?… that there aren’t really any good full-body pictures of that iconic moment that I could find on Google. So it isn’t really that obvious that this picture is actually that picture, if you see what I mean.
The other thing is… oh yeah, there is another thing… that isn’t all there is to the story. My friend did something awesome. She gave up her bridge-tending life in Florida and drove all the way across America to take a new job in Seattle. That explains the background of this particular dream…
See, I’m not really happy with the end result. All the elements are there. I did stick her head on Mary Tyler Moore’s body and then put it all together with a Seattle backdrop. It just feels less exciting than it should be. I don’t feel like I captured this life-changing moment.
But the thing is… hey, three things, that might be a record… I think she made a real dream come true. I mean, she packed up her stuff, said goodbye to a life she knew, and came West like a freakin’ pioneer!!! That is a dream, people…
That took guts. I mean, she went from this…
To this…
Okay, I might be simplifying things a little here, but you can read all about her fantastic journey on her blog… she chronicled the whole thing… and find out what happens to her in her new life. And wish her well.
I think she is going to be fine. I have relatives in Seattle and go there every now and then. Maybe I can meet her there sometime and see how she is doing. But you have to admit, she did a pretty awesome thing.
Pouring My Art Out 
You did know that Mary Tyler Moore took place in Minneapolis, right?
Yes… but this isn’t my dream… and she didn’t move to Minneapolis, she moved to Seattle.
Me, me! Do me, do me!! I want to be photoshopped pretty please. You can choose whatever you want based on what you know about me.
You need to email me some pictures of your head…
Simplified or not, given gators or rain…well at least I’m used to the rain. Do they have crocodiles AND alligators there?
Hey, new idea for a movie – Crocolanche, it’s about a sleepy mountain town that has an avalanche but it’s full of crocodiles.
Another, Hippocane, it’s about a hurricane that is full of hippos. Who are also vampires.
I like these…
I had to make them vampires as Hippos are cute and not scary even though in reality they will bite you in two
They kill more people in Africa than any other animal.
The bastards!
I know, right?
And I made an alien mercenary in my books that looks like a hippo… Arthur fights him in an unarmed combat duel… funny stuff.
I always thought they were gentle things, they are turning out to be quite the buggers
They will kick your ass.
We might need to do a series of posts Photoshopping ideas like this.
That would be awesome, but I know it will be in a recess of your brain and may or may not be plucked out by the squirrels at some point as they see fit 🙂
true dat
I like Hippocane better than Sharknado.
If you have to pick a favorite…
I agree, Carole. 🙂
We need to do something with this idea.
You saw it here first, if they make this now and steal the idea I expect 20% of the profits. So about £40 coming my way
I wouldn’t put it past them.
Talk to the Sci-Fi network.
I shall, I can reel these out all day
Make a list for me. I sense Photoshop gold…
Hippocane Hippo hurricane, may or may not be vampires
Shihtzunami: Toy dog tidal wave
Giraffefog: It gets difficult to see these lanky fiends
Antalanche: An avalanche of ants
Lizardblizzard: A snowstorm of scaly assasins
dude… you are a freakin’ genius… but now I think we should do one called: Shitsunami… a deep earthquake cause an eruption of all the cesspools and sewage plants and covers the planet with poop!!!
Trust you to lower the tone….(rolls eyes) 😀
That would be the most terrifying film everywhere, drowning in shit is one of my worst nightmares
It should be everyone’s worst nightmare.
The horror!
yup
Florida has 1 alligator for every 14 residents. But our only crocs are in the zoos.
😀 I don’t like those odds.
HA!
That is so racist…
Wunnerful, wunnerful!
simply wunnerful?
s’marvelous.
s’morevelous.
Reblogged this on The View from a Drawbridge and commented:
My friend Art, whose blog is awesome, by the way, did some totally charming photoshop work with my face, and told people about my journey to a new life. Check out these pictures! They’re awesome. I’m counting this as my midnight post for tonight, even though it’s only 9 am. I was just too excited to share this to wait. Hope you like it as much as I do!
Awwww… thanks Art! I just love this. I appreciate your vote of confidence and I’m reposting it on my blog.
yay
YAY, YAY!
oh yeah, yay.
