Okay, you know what to do… I mean, besides being amazed at the endless stream of incredibly creative and artistic things I have managed to incorporate myself into… and being appalled by the sheer magnitude of my obsession with my own bad self…
This one actually show a modicum of my artistic talent. I drew my wife and I as Viking warriors, based on a photo of the two of us. Then I cut it out with an exacto knife, inked the outline, colored it in with colored pencils, and glued it on a wooden plaque. The jewels and blood were done last with t-shirt paint. I globbed it on thick to give a good 3-D look to it.
Here is the original photo, with my wife cropped out… because she doesn’t want to contribute to my delinquency as a blogger…
Pouring My Art Out 
Very pretty wife!
I got lucky
You definitely married up!
well yeah
Looks like you have the whole family in on your little game – very cute. I agree with Julie that you look like a cat burglar in that photo – do your sideburns connect to your mustache?!
not quite…
Hi Art! Julie and I were just talking about you – all good, don’t worry…so who’s missing?
wait until we have one of our drunken reunion weekends in here… that is when we get 5 or 6 thousand comments in a couple days
Oh boy – drunken blogging marathons in Arthur’s treehouse – do you send out invites??
I do
You do what?
what, now I am supposed to keep track of what you said to make me say whatever I say???
You said what and I don’t know what the what was – it’s your blog you need to keep straight – mine is drifting aimlessly somewhere
I can barely keep my thoughts in order
Pain meds? Or just your usual self at 5:04 pm? Or is it 2:04 pm there?
I have crack squirrels in my head… and I’m all art-side-of-the-brain… and a little manic-depressive
Now I have to worry about you – it’s my sworn duty as a nurse – thanks
You know I don’t really have rodents on drugs inside my cranium, right? It is a metaphor for how my brain works
Oh. Well that’s good I guess, but I like thinking they’re really real better. Don’t take that from me, please
wouldn’t dream of it… I have names for them and everything
I’m lost
the squirrels… try to keep up
I’m going running now before it gets dark – if I see any squirrels you know who I will think of – but as far as I know, there aren’t any that are addicts in my neighborhood
keep telling yourself that
You resemble a cat burglar in the original photo. That has already been arrested. In prison garb.
Stealing cats is just a hobby
Trans Art Tepes
I think that is more clever than I am capable of understanding
Bwah ha ha
sigh
Sword-of Art
I like the sound of that
So does your wife think that she looks sufficiently unlike your depiction of her for you to be able to post this on your blog?
It is a drawing of a photo of her from the 80s…
Who knows? But where is your face?
I see two of them
You do?
yup
You do, yup what?
I do
So that’s your wife. Very sexy in a Viking sort of way.
don’t piss her off
Okay. Let me take back that comment and offer something that will piss her off less:
So that’s your wife. Very hideous in a Viking sort of way.
Better?
I guess we won’t know until you wake up tomorrow either with or without a head…
