The summer of art

June 26, 2007 by Lauren 9 Comments

It occurs to me that I’d better keep track of how I’m spending my vacation time.  I am a big fan of Jill Connor Browne and her Sweet Potato Queens books, especially when she describes her favorite way to vacation – sitting around with a  big pitcher of margaritas and not doin’ jack.  Ahhh…. the gift of time.

On Monday I did a little shopping and watched a movie.  Today I played a video game – Bloxorz – and got to level 25. In the evening we went to Jazz In June, which you you can read about more on Brad’s site, but before we left, I felt the need to cut up the watermelon that’s been sitting in our fridge for a couple of days.

Let’s hear it for art!  (er, sorta art.)

A dripping, fruity head.

    “Yo! Adrian!”
    It’s a perfect likeness of Rocky Balboa. It’s a Neo-Bohemian masterpiece.

      I only work with seedless medium, unless I’m going for some sort of spotted creature – leopards, ladybugs, teenagers…

    I can not wait to eat the nose. Oh, and to get an iPhone.

      I’m surprised you don’t have a running clock on your site for iPhone availability. You’re down to just two days, right?

        Yeah, and I would really like to get one, but it’s a lot of money that Lauren could waste on something else.

    I’m speechless! That’s utterly amazing! How did you get the rhine off without smashing the inside? This is funny ’cause I just watched “Encino Man” the other night & your watermelon guy really does look like a frozen Brendan Fraser. Could you make a daschund out of a zucchini?
