Thanks sno. Not much goes on inside the brainbox. The goldfish in a bowl, swimming in circles, was going to be a metaphor for avoiding reflection. That may account for the quirk - quirky nature of the work, I suppose. ANYHOW. Pleased if I give and get the occasional laugh. Have a fan-dabby-dozey weekend I hope I spelt that right.

 

[Artyczar]

Doesn't the goldfish swim around inside the head? I didn't realize they only swam in a bowl. Maybe a brain bowl? Your fish reminded me of how they have a short memory and forget what happened each time they swim in a circle. Or is that a myth? If it's not, I definitely have one in my brainbowl.

 

[Iain]

It does, and i get funny looks each time my eyes turn in attempting to watch it swim by. Where's the emoji for dat.

I did a little doodle today while talking with the Doc. I hope everyone likes it because, if they don't, I will sqeam and squeam until I'm s'thick!

I have added real Acrylick ice cream, It is now drying in the sun... probably look crap. My eyes are shot. excuse ms.

 

[Artyczar]

I LOVE! I have an ice cream truck too somewhere around here.

I have seen ice cream in two of your works.A Mr Whippy VAN melting in the desert would be cool! And something I could visualise as your subject matter, I thought of your Drippy paintings and wanted my van to melt like that, but i don't have the skill which is fine, i like to work from my limitations, if you see what I mean. It was sunny earlier, I heard the ice cream van with its nutty overly loud slightly out of tune recording and I thought literally, Ice cream van. I wanted the whole van to melt, not just the product. Ha. Kids crying in the street as the sound of GreenSleeves dissolves into a puddle with van and man. so cruel. They are. And then the Doctor rang. "l'm fine Dr." "Not suffering any delusions lately?" "Not that I'm aware of.'

 

[Artyczar]

You are too kind. Here is Dr. Dunkie who can take care of you.

I really did do genuinely love the work entitled Dada. Obviously a good deal of processes went into it. I wonder if you
could post it on the forum some time. I am assuming the image was resized for Instagram, and the drawing/s on the tiles are not quite visible. Anyhow, no matter, just another thing I would liked to have done.

It's not me! It's society!

I think that should be my new signature

Ps. My cat is next to me on the sofa making slurping noises! Nobody needed to know that

 

[Artyczar]

OMG! I can just imagine the cat.

I will post Dada. I have to see if I have decent images of it because I sold it so long ago. But yes, it was a major pain in the ass to make it. I will explain it in the post.

 

[Iain]

Yes, when i saw it, I was like, "What else have they hiding in those vaults in JT!" Kind of like Bukowski being reminded he had written, "Something for the touts, the nuns, and you.."

 

[Artyczar]

Holy shit! That is a major compliment because that is one powerful poem. One of my favorites. Thank you.

EDIT: And thank you very much for using my correct pronouns. I appreciate that.

 

[Iain]

We are crap at craft. The trades. Nothing sticks.
We have named the art that falls apart,

APART.

Dehydration drawing

 

[snoball]

Oh my! I wouldn't want to have to unstop a clog in that water line!! He certainly must be thirsty!

 

[Iain]

Me neither. Been there. Done that.

Thanks sno.

 

[Artyczar]

Love this! I love your mind. It's beautazmic.

 

[Iain]

Thank you Arty. I guess, with 8 billion or so on the planet there has to be at least one. I woke up thirsty.

 

[Iain]

I got a killer smile

A lot of croc.

 

[snoball]

Boy that is!!

 

[Iain]

After A. Butt.
