Worshipping the Rat King

A conglomeration of magazine images glued together, then drawn.

The Passage of the Planetary Moose

I'd taken this large oil/turpentine painting to a Grad Class--we needed an example of something for an assignment, which led to a 'Socratic Seminar' delving over the painting's 'deep meaning'. Very interesting to listen to all their thoughts--they were especially disappointed to hear that it was originally just a small collage composed from ripped pages of old Nat'l Geographics $ Smithsonians, thus it's appearance on this 'trash' site. Now I must find my large drawing of the collage 'Worshipping the Rat King'!

Curriculum Shirt

Oh, I don't think I could get away with this, but FINALLY! A shirt for my department, tee hee!

Online Purchases

Geez-- when you open up blogger in Internet Explorer it looks awful! I use Mozilla at home...then everything is lined up nicely and the text is better. Sorry if this looks bad....

I came across some tshirts that tickled my fancy.
When I started ordering them from this company, they soon became popular as gifts and I try to order them periodically for those that have a weird sense of humor, like me!

Although I haven't liked much of their items lately, you have to be quick (check on Monday's) or they run out of sizes fast.

Check out Threadless' "Loch Ness Imposter", "Communist Party", "You Sank my Battleship" (Teg couldn't wear this while living in Pearl Harbor), "Friendly Narwhal" and "Who F*cking Cares"-- a shirt which my child just happened to be wearing on the day he was unexpectedly interviewed by the KBI. I was mortified!

Episodes of a Dummy

Here is Charlotte, the dress dummy, in full regalia again. What a substantial woman to put up with all that tugging, the scratchy sequins, and endless pinpricks all over her body-- I mean bodice.
I can already see some changes are needed!
Go to the art page to see more of Charlotte's newest creation.

ROCK NEVER DIES!

I decided with all the Guitar Hero frenzy, that students would make paper mache guitars this semester--it rocks! We are all cutting out bizarre shapes and creating personal statements. My next one will reflect ART, like Picasso or something, but this one is my music memory guitar...these pics show a few bands and I have more to go! I think we'll even put on some fake strings! This is the back side.
