Every post menopausal women's worst nightmare, revealed!

Hey Hey! I've got lots of stuff in the works, but nothing I can really post today. I still haven't finished inking the last couple of pages of my vacation sketch journal either, so you'll have to wait until next week for that as well. In it's absence, I bring to you another edition of Random Things That I Have Crafted.

So yeah. It's a baby head that I painted like a Mexican sugar skull. More specifically, it's a Precious Moments doll head. Remember those cutesy little statues that your mom and/or grandma would collect of a little boy down on one knee giving a little girl an engagement ring or I dunno getting caught taking a piss or something (all in delightful pastel colors, of course)? Yeah, it's one of those...well not so much anymore. A women I used to work with had 2 entire china closets full of them...gaah.

One of my friends found them at a thrift shop and called me immediately. The conversation went something like this:
"Hey, I just found a bunch of creepy ceramic baby heads. You want some?"
"HELL YES I DO!"

I'm fairly certain that I'm one of the only people in the world that could a)actually receive this type of phone call and b) be as excited about it as I was.

It takes all kinds friends!


cheers!

A double dose of awesome

Soooo I'm almost finished with my Far From Finished t-shirt designs. Wait, did I mention that? I think I did...sort of ambiguously. Anyway, I've still got a few more on the way but here are a couple of the finished ones. I think these will be available in Europe, I'm not quite sure yet...but when they get printed I'll link to store.

FYI, for those of you not familiar with the art of the tattoo, the top image is a tattoo gun kind of morphed into a real gun. I actually came up with this idea, while being tattooed myself. The more you know!*

Good luck to everyone this St. Patty's Day weekend! I will be in Southie, trying not to get trampled by giant Irish dudes...then I'll be at Less than Jake, trying not to trample little (possibly Irish) preteens. I can never quite find a happy medium. heh.

*Dear "The more you know" public service people, please do not sue me. I am but a useless pawn in your crusade to passive aggressively save the world.

The mermaid problem, solved! (kind of)

Wooo! I finished my mermaid mural. Okay, so there isn't that much of a difference, but I changed the typeface and I ghosted a poem in the back. What poem you ask? (actually no one is asking me this, and I pretty sure I do not have esp, but in case you were wondering...)

It's the chorus of Mermaid by Shel Silverstein, which goes a little something like this...

Don't go swimming with the mermaid son
If you don't know how to swim
For her hair is green as seaweed and her skin is blue and pale
And I tell you now before you start you can love that girl with all your heart
But you're just gonna love the upper part you're not gonna like the tail

Who knew Shel Silverstein had an album? That blows my mind...I thought he just wrote kids poems. Good for him!

Note 1: If anyone reading this has the rights to this song, I will gladly remove it and the picture immediately, as I do not have the money to be sued. I assure you I am making absolutely no money off of this.

Note 2: It took me an unbelievably long time to figure out what to write in the banner. I actually had Sink or Swim in it until right after I posted it and then suddenly Heads or Tails just came to me so I reposted everything. Holy crap! It seems so obvious!
