Bad Art I Am Compelled To Share

Neighbor


This is a portrait of my neighbor. It was drawn on the pack of some packaging that came with some curtains my girlfriend recently bought. I cleaned if up a smidge and colored it in with photoshop. I was trying to be artsy-farsty. I kind of like it. I think I may add a few more images and do a large version to hang on my wall. Maybe. I drew this because this is what I think of when I think of my neighbor. My neighbor mows his lawn twice a week. He gives me dirty looks because I only mow once a season. There is a hammer and nails because he likes to work on his house every weekend. The barbecue is there because my neighbor has a barbecue on his back porch. He cooks with it three times a week year round. He is a manly man, even though he's kind of short. As I write this I can see him out the window mowing his lawn again. He keeps looking at my yard and shaking his head. The lightning is in the picture because I am afraid someday my neighbor will loose his cool and come after me waving his barbecue tongs and hammer. If he does come at me like this my plan is to hide in the long grass in my yard. Bwhahahahaha. Even if you don't love my plan, will you love me?

  • Hi everybody. I want to give a special thanks to all my lovers for being patient with me. It has been a crazy busy week and apparently will continue to be for most of the holiday season. I will post as much as possible. I will post at least three times a week. I promise.
    love

  • Have you taken a good look at those ears? Your neighbor is not from this planet.

    If he ever invites you over for barbeque, don't go.

  • Move here. Some of us don't mow our lawns. Some of us (them) do but are afraid of the big dog so don't say anything. Everybody's happy. Love.

  • try goats! they're natural lawn trimmers...and there's an added bonus:

    if the alien runs out of packaged cow, you might be able to distract him with walking chevon!

  • haha, I love the mental image I got of you hiding in your long luxurious unkempt grass.

    By Blogger Jaimie, at 14:51  

  • My better plan is that your neighbour will loose his cool and come after you with his lawnmover when you are hiding in the long grass };-} Love.

  • Roll in your grass... Hmmm... You sure know how to tempt a gal!! ;)

  • You will have the last laugh, bar-b-qued meat causes cancer if consumed in excess.

    Next year throw some wild flower seed in your yard and tell everyone you are a Conservation Ecovolunteerist, and that you wish to do nothing more than to protect nature and its inhabitants.

    No mowing, no guilt, only love for all living, growing things! hehehe

    Love for you.

  • jaimie: That's nothing you should see the hair on my back.
    love

    sandbox: Great plan! When I'm chopped into meat bits he can BBQ me! (Actually after posting this picture I felt guilty and just today mowed the lawn. It took me three and a half hours. My arms are killing me.)
    love

    d. maria: Wee Hee!!
    love

    ldahl: Thats a good idea. We want the grass to be replaced with all kinds of crazy plants. We just haven't gotten there yet.
    love

    jonpaul: I did.
    love
