Thursday Art Date With Rain -- "Twisted"

I'm linking this post 

to Rain's prompt today

as my "twisted" tribute to . . . 

ARTISTS and ANGST!

Enjoy!

Did you know Steve Rogers

was an artist before he was

Captain America?

Like a true artist, he's still

full of frustrated artistic angst.

Let's leave the last word on

artists and angst to that expert,

Henri Le Chat Noir --

Unique Crafts

I salute crafters who have the 

vision and talent to create 

unique items of whimsical delight!

Crocheted and knitted items

need not be boring!

How about a crocheted 

Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?

Who wouldn't want this?

Embroidery need not be old-fashioned!

It can speak to our modern times too!

And never underestimate 

the power of cardboard --

HRH wants me to make

an Iron Throne for her too!

She is threatening me

with dragons if I don't.

HELP!

Being an Artist's Muse

Twice this year, I have been deeply honoured to be an artist's muse to someone in the Blogosphere!

First, I was immortalized in ink by Francie of A North End Journal. She draws very clever cartoon strips featuring two stick-figure gals named Butterbrains and Smarty Pants. And here I am, making a guest appearance!

Didn't Francie do a marvelous job of capturing my likeness? You can see the full cartoon here.

My second experience as an artist's muse resulted in a work of art that is . . . well . . .  for adult eyes only! Barfly of SSS Porch Party decided to start a new Boob Calendar blog called Barfly F'art and recently portrayed me as the boob connoisseur that I am. Who knew that Barfly possessed such exquisite artistic talent?

Of course, Her Royal Highness is terribly jealous of me getting all this attention instead of her. She's quite shameless about wanting to break into the artist's muse biz herself.
