Once there was a guy who had a dream, a dream of conquering the world… with nothing more dangerous than a silly blog…
He was sure that people would follow him…
But he began to have doubts. What if his head was just swollen with false pride?
All of his illusions began to shatter…
He felt like he was just a clown…
His world felt like it was falling to pieces…
He felt like small change…
He just wanted to give the gift of laughter to the people!
He pulled himself together and stepped away from the dark side of his own mind…
I am the best, he told himself…
I am not just an ornament…
I am a hero, the stuff of legends…
I have value…
And he suddenly realized that he didn’t suck…
People liked him…
They really liked him…
I mean, they really liked him a lot…
And he knew that people would keep a bit of him with them forever…
He knew that he had the right stuff…
And he was sure that if he could just draw enough people in…
If he could just get the people on board…
That his flame would burn brightly…
And the world would be his…

Okay, you have probably figured out by now that this posts is not really a short story at all. No, it is just a clever way to use up more of the old pieces of art with pieces of Art… me… in them from all my old posts. I am still going through them all to organize them. But I finally figured out that you were all getting sick of my silly ‘name that piece of Art’ series where I thinly disguised the pictures as a ‘come up with a clever name’ contest.
Anyway, it was fun to see if I could come up with a story to link together a whole bunch of pictures from a whole bunch of posts that originally had absolutely nothing to do with each other.





























Hahaha very nicely done. I see what you were getting at with that comment the other day now LOL. I’m loving the tattoo one, the glasses look great.
Glad you liked it… them…
This was incredible – words and pictures! I loved it! Your flame does burn brightly, Arthur. You are very talented in so many ways. 🙂
awww… shucks!
Love the story & the pics, Art – & we do love you ❤
Yay… sniff… thanks…
What a coincidence my days are a bunch of random occurances linked together by sleep!
It is like we were separated at birth…
Ha! Well done Art.
thanks
Donald Trump respectfully requests that you do a picture of Art with his hair. It would have made a good clown picture.
oh boy
