Self Surplus Art Exhibit
(it says “Country” with two guitars on the back).
This will be another short post as it’s been a gosh, darn busy week. And I’m pooped. After the rains, some mushrooms popped up. This one looks a bit on the mutant side (and slightly obscene or is it just me?). And I’ve gotten a few more tomatoes and peppers ripening up. With the rain…
“It’s a common belief that positive thinking leads to a happier healthier life. As children, we’re told to smile and be cheerful and put on a happy face. As adults, we’re told to look on the bright side. To see glasses as half full. Sometimes reality can get in the way of our ability to…
So far Xena (my kayak) and I have explored a little bit of the Mississippi River and a little bit of the Rum River. The skinny, little Rum surprised me. There were partially to fully submerged tree sections to frantically steer around. It wouldn’t have been such a frantic effort except that it was also…
I caved in and had an MRI about a week ago, which led to wearing a hinged knee brace that leaves permanent indentations in my skin, plus I’m walking around on crutches.

Cool! I’ve always loved line drawings. Not much to hide behind there. I’m sure Lain would concur, the vest is only to be worn ironically. You’re only allowed to wear it if you also wear the amo belt and skinny jeans, and maybe some punk ass shirt. 😉 If you do, please post pics!
Oooh! Scary picture forming in mind! Need to vanquish!
Love the show…wish I could have been there. Beautiful line drawings…it’s hard to keep context when working so large…great job.
Now, where can i get an amo belt? Do ya think it comes in a size 14?
Well! Lain’s drawings are great!!!! His surplus concept is excellent, and the white refreshments were perfect for the occasion. As a retired art teacher, I am impressed. It looks like you and your sister had a great time. Thanks for the comments.
I love your son’s line drawings – the simplicity is great. I bet that he was very glad to have family there!
