hold on to your stendhals because this, this is art:

The length of the legs and torso create a distance between the head (which represents the self) and the legs (which represent the leg and then the other leg also). Their relationship is bad. The feet (which are the most stable and flat parts of the leg) are no longer welcome on the bed. The self seems to have thrown the pillows everywhere except where the legs are. The self hates the legs, it doesn't even make eye contact or recognize what they are (hence the labels).

This picture is clearly about my--I mean the artist's parents' divorce.

Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.

I can't draw worth a damn, but I can take some nice pics. These I believe go with this theme.

Nah she loves her arts and crafts time. I think she was looking at the dog under the table or something.

Metro

The train doors open and

her guts spill out,

and the river grows, and

the river flows, down

into the station, up

onto the streets,

into the sea of us.

The train doors open and

The they all crush in, scrabbling

after that minute space

between comfort and misery,

to settle and ride that dead beast

down,

down

into the fetid earth.

It invoked macabre imagery of the cyclical talking and silence a tormented relationship can go through while ending, in my head.

Very interesting! It's cool to see what things can evoke in someone.

Roseate, those are some lovely collarbones. I think that upperchest/collarbone area above a woman's breasts is quite sexy. And yours is nice. And doing that without a tripod, well done. Smile

I made this, to try and get this Elementary Art Teacher job.
I'm awful at computers. Didn't have any concept of how to do it. But cranked it out on Monday night, after the interview. Sent them the link at lunch today.
Wish me luck!

It sure ain't perfect, but I need to jump in and get with the new stuff. Maybe they will give me an "A" for effort.

Did this about 2 hours after interview. Had taken triple dose of antibiotics to get through the day/interview. I had bad laryngitis, held back coughing through most of the video.

Sculpture design I'm working on. 3-D road map of the Village of Fairport NY. Vertical elements extend downwards according to how long they've existed. I'm also working on some sculptural benches for another class, but they're kind of hard to photograph.

I remember when Polaroids were the only way to get instant pictures. One felt all snazzy if they owned a polaroid camera.

I feel like I've been cheating on this thread. So I joined this three6v challenge that our very own Kirk created and I've been cranking out project after project. Some less successful than others but here they are:
