Artsy Fartsy...

On recommendation from Judge I visited this site called Exploding Dog.com. It looks like some artsy fartsy paintings that should be quickly ignored when seen in a museum as you are there for the other exhibit and only went down this corridor because you thought you'd never get your money's worth if you didn't see the whole building. On closer examination, I like it.

I know. It's not like me. Something about these drawings catch my eye. They mean something to me. They are almost like ink blot tests. The night I discovered them, I downloaded about 30 of my favorite ones and went through them with JD seeing what we saw in them. It was fun.

It turns out that the artist is a guy named Sam Brown. He asks people to submit a title and he paints the drawings from that. I like the concept. I sent him some ideas. I think he will probably just ignore mine like Strong Bad always does.

I am dorky enough to pass off one of my posts as original when all I am doing is talking about someone else's work and post their art. Here are some of my favorites:


Everyone Loves Me




Forgive And Forget




He Decided No To Go Back




I Thought You Loved Me More Than Anything, And I Thought That You Would Come Back




I Got A New Bird




I Don't Know What Happened




I Knew The Answer In The Beginning




I've Been Waiting




Looking For Happiness




When Will You Let Go?




Your Time Will Come




Well, That Didn't Work




Used To Be One




They Will Never Know Who I Really Am




I Know It's Not Really Getting Any Better




And Now What Do I Do?
