The me tiki… part 1…

IMG_4846

I have decided to break this new adventure up into two parts… which will be running side-by-side… or top-by-bottom, since that is how my blog works… So I will be posting about the tiki that, hopefully will end up looking exactly like me… and about the new children’s book… in more-or-less alternating posts

They will be called:

The me tiki… part ?…

and:

I Like You… part ?… (because that is going to be the title of my adorable new self-illustrated book for little kids).

As you may be able to tell from the picture above, my ‘me tiki’ project has already run into trouble. The first piece of wood I picked was rotted. The second had termites… which came from the house, not the other way around, just so you know.

OOOh… look… that one I managed to get the bark off all in one piece instead of having to pry it off… unfortunately, that one is pine… which is really hard… and is also too small for my huge crack squirrel-packed cranium. The thing is… and this is a thing you should bear in mind during this series… I don’t do things like normal people. I am all art-side -of-the-brain. So when I decided to carve tikis, I didn’t research it, and get the right tools. I don’t even get the right wood. I just borrow wood wherever I find it. Then it sits around while I get distracted by other artsy stuff.

Anyway, I finally found a good piece… which hopefully won’t be too hard…

Then I marked the corners of the paper so I can put it back in the right place as I go… and started making nail holes around my nose. Now, I have never carved a realistic face before, but I do know my nose is what sticks out the farthest from my face, so I need to leave that part and remove some wood. The nail sticking in my snout is the ‘high’ point, so to speak.

When I carve tikis, I usually just fake it, and make the nose pretty flat… oh, go on, search for tikis in my search bar thing… you know you want to.

And there you have it, a big piece of wood with a big nose on it. If I was smart, I would print a picture of my head taken from the side… or take measurements… or something… but I’m not.

Okay, see you later.

Getting back to pouring my art out… and being weird…

I am going to turn this…

IMG_4845

Into this…

IMG_4844

And you are going to get to watch me do it. I know, I sort of said a long time ago that it would be awesome to have a tiki that looks like me. Well, I am going to try it. Oh, you are new around here and didn’t know I carve tikis? Well, type ‘tiki’ in the search bar thing and check them out.

I am also going to turn this…

IMG_4841

… and yes, that is indeed a picture of one of my oldest and most comfy tennis shoes… and yes, they really are size 15, just so you know… but I am going to turn that… and a bunch of other pictures, into my newest children’s book… oh, you didn’t know I write children’s books on top of the action/humor science fiction series, the murder mystery set in world war two London, and that action/fantasy princess novel I am writing and posting on the blog? Well, look over at my sidebar… on the right… and click a picture of any of my books.

I am going to make a tiki that looks like me, and create a new book for little kids, and I am going to take you through both of these artistic endeavors step by step.

I hope you enjoy the ride.

Cue that funky music…

Uh… I do a few posts with naughty pictures and my stats are booming…

So, what is the lesson here, exactly? I mean, I know I like to randomly tag a few posts with ‘free porn’ and ‘big boobs’ tags… (I explained this all in a post a long time ago; My theory is that if I can lure a few pornography junkies in here and keep them busy for a while, I am serving the greater good)…

But now I am wondering if keeping this blog more or less family-friendly is not like shooting myself in the… foot. Maybe I should be doing more pictures of  naughty bits. I mean, if I can boost my stats with a few silly penis pictures, I can only imagine what would happen if I just focused on naked people. Hell, I might actually be able to take over the world.

Just so you know, world, the vast majority of my views today come from America, land of the free… (porn sites)… and home of the conflicted and convoluted views of sex and nudity. Yes, America, where we have a major portion of our citizens who claim to be wholesomely religious, yet we contribute more than our share to the world’s pornography market, and we seem to like shopping at that market too. Yes, a land so prudish that people take a stand against women breast feeding infants in public… usually on their way to have a few drinks at a topless bar. Canada, you are in second place, so don’t get cocky… ummm… so to speak.

(You know, this is exactly why I created the alien character named VarnTa… [for my action/humor science fiction series of novels called: The Otherwhere Chronicles, available right over there in my sidebar, if you click the pictures of my books and activate the links under them]… who has his rather large penis growing out of the top of his head. He was created solely for the purpose of making people think about our confused views on sex and nudity. Can an alien from another planet be held to our weirdly inconsistent rules on morality? As VarnTa points out, nobody gets worked up about the fact that cats and dogs run around naked. And in his defense, he can’t wear a hat. It makes his… uh… junk… warm up, which causes an unfortunate increase in blood flow, which just makes matters worse. VarnTa is not just me acting like a thirteen-year-old boy giggling at penis jokes, despite what my wife says. He is a carefully crafted character, a lens for us all to use to examine sexuality, a chance to look at old issues through an outsider’s eyes… Okay, yes, I admit that I do make some pretty awesome dick jokes in the books. My two favorites are when Arthur Blacke… [pronounced ‘black’] is playing poker with his alien and human buddies, and he keeps an eye on VarnTa’s penis, because when VarnTa has a good poker hand, his heart beats faster, and this cause his penis to pulse and sway a bit, like a big, fat hair in the wind. Or, as Arthur… [yes, my main character, who saves the whole universe is really me from another dimension, can we not get into that here?]… puts it: VarnTa has a great poker face, but he has a really bad poker penis. And then there is the one scene where VarnTa get stuck to the giant sticky tongue of a Whalepede, while they are battling space pirates on an alien space station, and someone… I forget who… grabs him by his penis to try to pull him off the tongue… but anyway… enough about all that)…

Warning!!! This post contains a picture of a dick… Name this picture, a contest… or a game… or whatever… the final chapter…

Once again I do apologize for where this strange journey has taken us. I had to do this picture of a friendly little cartoon penis with Trump’s head on it just to get the taste of that last one out of my mouth… wait… let me rephrase that… to get that other dick out of my head… okay, that is a little better, I guess.

On an artistic note, this one was the easiest to do out of all of them, because I didn’t have to change his skin color or tone… he was already a perfect match to perch majestically on top of that pedestal. In fact, it looks so natural, that I would like to suggest that if Trump is elected president, we should erect… (pun intended)… a statue just like this… (and we should make it at least as tall as the Washington Monument)… and put it up somewhere in Washington DC. This would be a fitting tribute to a man who has the balls to want to give us all the shaft… uh… so to speak.

Okay, I swear, that is my last penis joke… I have to go take a shower…
