Now here's my style of drawing, or painting...whatever. Featured here: 1) No one wants to play Sega with Harrison Ford; 2) Mr. Noodle with David Schwimmer; 3) Anguish (of Michael Landon) 4) Uncanny Valley with Nic Cage hugging a Macaque monkey and; 5) Lazy Sunday Afternoon just hanging around Christopher Walken fiddling around in his garage.

If only I could :-} In the meantime, I just made Walken my current Wallpaper.

And Speaking of Monsters

Here are The Repuglicans: 61 monster paintings by Pete Von Sholly with YouTube Slideshow Preview. The folks caricaturized in Repuglicans don't deserve to be depicted as famished ghouls, white-eyed vampires, drooling werewolfs, and rotting zombies. What I mean is, they aren't worthy of the fantastic 1960s monster-trading-card treatment bestowed upon them by veteran storyboarder Pete Von Sholly. In the same way that Mad magazine only parodied good TV shows and movies, this kind of honor should be reserved for good people. In any case, it's still a treat to pore over the hilariously doctored images of Roger Ailes, Glenn Beck, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and 55 other power-hungry fear-mongers. As Steve Tatham (who wrote the commentary to the book) writes in his introduction: There are 55 million Republicans in the United States. Most of them are decent, honorable people. The Republican limited government, state's rights, traditional Amer

Time to heed my Daily Feng Shui Tip

Hi Adorina! Here is your Daily Feng Shui Tip for Wednesday, May 19 Someone needs to tell my teenager and his friends that today is 'No Dirty Dishes Day' so that we can all co-exist like happy little clams under the same roof. In fact, according to Feng Shui, the kitchen should be kept spic and span since it's so heavily associated with health, happiness and abundance. The secret side of Feng Shui maintains that the flow of energy through your kitchen actually affects the negative or positive life force energy that comes from the food you eat. According to this Chinese energy theory, the amount and the quality of the Chi that's stored in your food rates more highly on the 'health' scale than the nutritional value and makeup!
