Art, Comments and Other Things - UPDATED

I don't know if anyone ever actually checks the 52 Card Pickup blog, but I just posted some sketches over there, this morning. I did some quick, one minute sketches as I drank my coffee, just trying to jump-start myself a bit to get back into doing some art. I kinda burned out on it, a bit, last year with the sketch-a-day blog.

Anyway, if you decide to check out 52 Card Pickup, be sure and read the second comment on the January 23rd post. Nothing I like better than high-brow conversation. Oh, well...at least someone's looking at the blog.

I put up a preliminary ad on Craigslist, announcing the upcoming yardsale. Ten minutes later, I got an email from a guy wanting a quote on buying all the bikes as a package. I shot him back a list of bikes and the quote, which I think is quite fair. We'll see what he thinks, I guess. I really wouldn't mind getting rid of everything without having to kill a whole Saturday doing it. So, fingers crossed, as they say.

4/20/09 The package deal on the bikes went through. The yardsale is cancelled.

  3. I was both amused and confused by that commentator. Is he/she (let's just say "he, for convenience) such a fan of my drawings that he was just bitterly disappointed to get another form of art on my blog?

    Maybe he is a professional songwriter and the quality of my lyrics didn't suit. I mean, I'm no Keith Partridge, when it comes to songcraft, but his reaction still seems a bit strong.

    I do agree with him that a haiku about shoving my bike up the old wazoo would be art. Haiku is a well-respected and quite ancient art. But, why the bike shoving? And why didn't he go ahead and post a haiku about shoving my bike up the old alimentary canal? It might have been pretty fun.

    Maybe I should have a contest for the best haiku about that particular act...

    I don't know...some people just lose all civility when they can hide behind the cover of Internet Anonymity.

    Still, though, I did find it entertaining that someone was so moved to leave such a comment on my little blog.

Sorry about the word verification. I know you hate it...I hate it, too. But, the Spambots are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and this is my first line of defense against them.

Anonymous comments are still gladly accepted.

So, all humans are welcome. Spambots can go to Hell.
