New Painting

Morning earthlings. This is the painting I finished for the Pulse art fair. Art Fag City was nice enough to notice it and post an image so I am posting it here. It is called "Clipper" & is 30 x 40 inches.

Today is the day I accomplish everything on earth that ever needed accomplishing by me. I will solve problems and execute tasks willingly and happily. I will.

Wish Me Luck

Yesterday I drank the salty soda of death and today the alien probe will visualize my lower core insides on a monitor of some kind. I will be abducted by the aliens at approximately 11:30 am so please well-wish me at that time, if you are able to.

Happy Valentine's Day

It could not be more exciting to be human and be prodded with bladed instruments. Today is the day to celebrate the cartoon format of your main organ. Meanwhile, the freezing rain pelts the windows, making herky jerky percussion that echos the probably senseless thought activity in your head. The slush beckons you to fall in it, bum first. The later ices will bring certain death through foot and mouth. If it pleases you go ahead and rejoice in the heart, but be careful is all I ask.

Just Add a Banana

Here are some recipes for you From TROPIC TREATS

Cheese-Banana Spread

Cut peeled bananas lengthwise and place on bread slices. Shred or grate American cheese and sprinkle over the bananas and top with another slice of bread. Dip sandwiches in french toast mixture of egg and milk beat together and fry them in butter on griddle.


Puzzle Sandwiches (for the kids)

Mix 1 can deviled ham with 2 ripe bananas mashed and 1 tablespoon salad dressing. Spread 4 slices white bread and 4 slices raisin bread with margarine. Spread white slices with banana-ham mixture and top with raisin bread slices. Cut each sandwich into a variety of shapes and fit all pieces together into a puzzle for serving.

Two Illnesses You Should Be Aware Of

Trichinosis

Trichinosis, also called trichinellosis, or trichiniasis, is a parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork and wild game products infected with the larvae of a species of roundworm Trichinella spiralis, commonly called the trichina worm. The few cases in the United States are mostly the result of eating undercooked game or home reared pigs. It is most common in the developing world and where pigs are commonly fed raw garbage.

Glue Ear or Otitis Media

Otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear segment of the ear. It is one of the two conditions that are commonly thought of as ear infections, the other being otitis externa. Otitis media is very common, and includes a whole range of medical conditions; all of which involve inflammation of the ear drum (tympanic membrane), and are usually associated with a buildup of fluid in the space behind the ear drum (middle ear space).

The Blacks

Knife Head

Just for fun someday there might be a knife or multiple knives that come into your head to wish you happy day. If this should happen just hope that the knife is inserted at just the right angle so death does not ensue. (If death is not something you wish for). You may experience brain damage but this should not be of concern if you are already a moderate drinker, I am supposing. There is a modern kind of flesh spackle that can be used to patch up the hole left by the knife. Expect that hair will not grow back in that particular patch. Good luck!

Paintings of the Sea

Houses

Ships in Peril

They are in peril but the seamanship does not decline, the ships buck and quake on the waves. Herky-jerky is part of it. There are slacks strewn all about the cabins, cold cream smeared on the sheets, bacon bits that fly through the air and hit you in the eye. Yet there is nothing to worry about. That is what is so great about ships in peril.

Bye for now.
