I planned on using the same pepper here as in my previous post but the paint(s) didn’t get along very well. Paint these days. No table manners.

Crafted in a well-ventilated area. Kinda. Have a great weekend, everyone!
Another… ‘unusual’ conversation heard only here:
Me: “Hey, Annabelle, if you need me I’ll be outside spray-painting this pepper.”
Annabelle: “Out back?”
Me: “Yeah.”
Annabelle: “Oh, okay. Good luck.”

If you visited Laumeier Sculpture Park this weekend the boots sticking out from beneath various sculptures were not necessarily part of any instillation… just a dude taking random photos. More about the above sculpture below:

Lincoln piece number three. One thousand one hundred pennies (each different). It’s like my Dallas, Texas – November 22, 1963 painting in that it becomes ‘clearer’ when viewed from a distance (step back a few feet for Abe-ification). I wanted more P.P.I. (pennies per inch), but my collection is limited to eleven bucks and change. There’s been a significant curves adjustment on most coins (full disclosure), and I worked in quadrants to keep my computer from exploding (original is approx. 22.75″x 22.5″). And each penny is ‘heads-up’. Naturally.

When asked to join the Better Living Through Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups EVENT I was thrilled! I was humbled! I was… off to restock my P.B.C. supply. A few minutes later, after consuming my newly acquired research materials, I had a brief moment of sheer panic when I realized ‘participation’ likely required ‘content’. Of some sort. Anyway, random info about what I came up with above… below. Right under a list-o-very talented folks who are also Living Better today! If you have a few moments please stop over and see what they’re up to! I’ll be doing just that… as I… execute a little more ‘research’.

Sadly, I wouldn’t know a Michelin Star if it bit me in the foie gras. Interesting gadgets in a kitchen, though.

More creepy pears with hardware. What can I say? It’s Monday.
Mac McDonald: “Charlie, give him the pear.”
Charlie Kelly: “I can’t. I just ate it.”
Mac McDonald: “The whole thing?
Charlie Kelly: “Yeah. It was pretty gross. And…”
Mac McDonald: “The stem and the… and the core and…”
Charlie Kelly: “You didn’t tell me not to eat the stem, dude!”
Mac McDonald: “Did you eat the stickers that are all over it?”
Charlie Kelly: “Yeah, it was gross!”
Mac McDonald: “Of course it’s gross, it’s a sticker, bro!”
Charlie Kelly: “I eat stickers all the time, dude!”
