  • Your Uncle Bee

    I am a huge fan of honey bees. I don’t particularly like honey that much but I love bees for what they do.
    If it was legal in Toledo, I’d keep bees but alas it is not.

    You can thank a honey bee for your even being here and if you would, think of them as family members.
    In fact, consider this your Uncle Bee. 😀

  • On August 3, 1901, Jebidiah Wrote the Funniest Joke EVER

    I am absolutely loved this guy’s face. He’s got the tiniest little smirk, like he knows something you don’t and it’s REALLY funny. He really looked like he was just holding back from busting into laughter.
    I imagine he was a pretty awesome fellow to know in walking life.

    My thought was that he wrote the funniest joke EVER – and now we have to wonder what it is.

  • Stalker Moon

    We were watching the movie “Arthur” and there’s this bit where the love interest of Arthur tells him when she was a little girl, she believed the moon followed her and it meant she was going to be something special.
    It got me thinking – what if it wasn’t an optical illusion, what if the moon really was following you?
    How creepy would that be?

  • Red Ribbon Guy


    I wanted to do something different with this guy.
    He had the usual hair and the usual suit and the usual expression you see over and over and over in vintage photos (yes i know why people rarely smiled in these old photos ).
    And so I wanted to make him special, unique even.
    Everyone deserves that.
    So i started with some amazing blonde hair then it needed something…. a hat? No…. a RIBBON.
    And here you have Stanley with his amazing hair with this amazing ribbon.
    He will be the envy of all your other art on your walls.

  • The Story of Nurse Zombie

    Nurse zombie was a very dedicated RN and then one day “that” patient was brought in.
    The one that bit her.

    She’d had patients flail and even bite before but this one was different – it was like he was tasting her.

    She cleaned her wound but 2 days later she ran a fever.
    Then 5 days after the bite she called in and said she was really in pain and thought she may need a few extra days off it was just a bad stomach bug or maybe even the flu.
    Then she didn’t call in at all on the 6th day.
    On the 7th day after the bite,  she came to work as always and people ran away in horror.
    She died sometime during the 5th or 6th day and was now a zombie.
    Sometime during the night

  • Bad Fashion – Fat Tail Rat Hat

    Check back every day between 9pm -10pm and you’ll see at least one new artwork!
    And now, let’s check out this one of a kind artwork:

    We were talking about silly fashions and weird stuff people will do and wear just be part of the “in” crowd and then there’s the totally crazy rules like no white after this date or if you do and you’re one of the cool people – it’s “Winter White”.
    And then I saw this antique photo. I just knew there had to be a fashionista throw down here!

  • You Will Obey Me In a Pig’s Eye…. Improved Photo

    Skinney and I were watching this television show where this woman was living a very submissive marriage role. I mean her husband had it made as far as he was concerned. She wasn’t even allowed to eat with him and the children at the table because women weren’t equal to men and the son’s repeated what their father thought. Just wow.
    I imagined a different marriage where she was told she would obey and she rolled her eyes and kinda went pffffttttttttttt hahahahahaha in his face. 😀

  • The Story of the BBWs that Dance to Keep the Motion in the Ocean

    This piece was too big to put on my scanner and my camera was just sucking and washing out the colors.  Skinney offered to throw my camera at the wall because he’s good like that, but I did a little video instead 🙂

    This is a video description of a 10-inch by 13-inch watercolor of 3 bbw divas dancing on the ocean shore.

    Many people believe the moon controls the waves of the ocean.
    Not true!
    Did you know it’s three blue goddesses that come to dance on the shore with their seaweed hair waving in the ocean breeze.
    They dance for the moon and make her smile.
    They stomp and wiggle and they dance to a tune only they can hear – I’m pretty sure it’s techno and they keep the motion of the ocean going in and out as it should.

  • Ladybugs get luck from fairy kisses – EVERYONE knows that!

    Everyone knows that ladybugs bring luck.
    But very few people know HOW the ladybugs get so darned lucky.
    It’s from fairy kisses.
    Whenever a ladybug isn’t feeling so lucky – the fairy smooches the ladybug on its little buggy cheek and restores its luck.
