Portrait for the Cop Week Charity Auction completed:

Well it's done.  I'll be mailing it off the first of the month. I made a couple changes along the way.  One change I made was to the Fireman's helmet.  I thought about putting my own city name on the helmet to be as a symbol of where the artist is from, but I don't think our fire helmet's are black so it wouldn't look right.  I couldn't figure out what to put on the helmet, so I thought of using the name of a real fireman who passed on the job.  I googled firemen killed recently and up came a story from Boston.  Two firefighters were killed in a fire in Boston about a month ago.  One of them was Lt. Edward Walsh, so I used his name.  So the painting which is supposed to be a memorial to fallen rescue workers, Cops and Firemen, does include the name of a real fireman who's been killed.  I used the number 64 because that is something that is more personal to me.  It's also two numbers in my phone number.

Back to Painting:

I've just started back to painting some stuff.  I'm right now doing that portrait for the silent auction for the Cop Week Charity Auction.  The sale of this is supposed to benefit the fallen police and fire rescue workers families I think. I'll update the blog with the progress photos of this one. All new photos are added to the bottom.

Today's my mom's birthday..

She's been gone for almost 10 years now. 

I wonder when I'll ever get used to it..

Out of the Illness ...into the Hunger Games:

On the brightest note, I'm over my phuemonia!  Thankfully!  I'm ready to do some more art.  I've got a portrait to do and a couple horses to complete. I'll keep the world posted.  

On the sadder note, I have just lost two hours of my life I will never get back.  I watched the DUMBEST, absolutely the most retarded movie ever put on film.  

The Hunger Games Catching Fire. 

I have never in my life seen such crap.  I tried watching The Hunger Games once before, but I remember I fell asleep in the first 30 minutes of it.  I don't remember anything but how incredibly hideous the beautiful Elizabeth Banks can truely be made into with whatever they managed to find hinding in Ru Paul's wardrobe closet.  But this movie has got to be the dumbest concept for films I've ever seen.  The whole thing makes NO SENCE whatsoever.  It's so stupid. I'm literally pissed I can't get that two hours back and spend them watching  COPS or something.  I could have been watching reruns of .....ANYTHING.  I'd rather have wasted two hours on The Weather Channel....  No.  What do I waste two hours of my life on...?

Drag Queens Meets Gladiators.  It's like The Fifth Element crossed with Mortal Combat. My God I've never been so disgusted in a movie.  What is with the hype for this thing?  My new most hated name for a girl has got to be Kattness.  My God! And it's times like these I wish I drank! 

Rant Over... 

I feel like I've been reincarnated as a rag...
