Bedtime

IFN: 'It is certain because it is impossible.'

Another of my pet hates is the kind of stuff that used to be done by airbrush artists and has now been resurrected by 'photoshop' and 'painter' people- nude women with big tits and snakes. I know there is a danger here of some level of hypocrisy since this is my second post with naked women (this time with snakes), but my problem is with neither the nudity nor the livestock. How can anyone with the degree of talent that it takes to paint these things be so completely bereft of imagination? And then there is the hours of work involved to produce something that looks precisely like every other painting of a bird with huge knockers and a reptile. So this is my vision of a waiting room in a model agency. They are all looking for work from fantasy artists except the wee girl on the end who is there by mistake- she is looking for artists from Illustration Friday.

it was not an apple

About the eighty they thought that it was an apple, now I can assure that single one was a pear. A FUCKING pear.

The caption should read-

"Whoa- I'm not an atheist or a cartoonist, where did you get that idea?"

It's certain that she's tied to her bed

She's got Alzheimer's Disease. A buddy of mine tells me that the REASON patients with advanced Alzheimer's are tied to beds is cos there's a very real danger of them falling out of bed and snapping their limbs.

It's just... so... unsexy.

I mean, I'm used to using proper rope, for one. And that knot around her wrist is inept! What if she remembers her safeword? How the hell are they gonna stop play in a hurry?

Okay. I'm just being down and dirty for the heck of it. I actually have a marginal amount of sympathy and even empathy for this old bat. My gran had Alzheimer's. And she was NOT pleasant to be around.

Check out the more compassionate writeup I've given this on my own blog. http://schmucknews.blogspot.com/2007/01/2007-01-13-illustration-friday.html

God forbid someone ties me to a bed when I'm in my 80s.

Flash- whoa whoa...

Sadly, though a hero in the 80s, the intervening years were not kind to Flash and his desperate attempts to once more hear women scream his name became increasingly pathetic.

In the 1880s Iran was hanging homosexuals, rape victims, adulterers and political activists. In the 1980s, the same. And so it continues.

If my sister could...

This is based on a true moment that happened at my mom's. I guess my sister didn't mean to say that... or did she?

I'm so happy for being invited to participate on IFN! Thank u guys ;)

If you were God, wouldn't you want to blaspheme yourself occasionally?

I am reading Richard Dawkin's God Illusion (or even: 'God Delusion') at the moment; feeling my agnosticism fraying at the edges.

Our first week

The buzz and brouhaha this week have all led to the birth of Illustration Friday night. Thanks for the inspiration, IF.
