Crayons



This is a picture of some crayons and two computers, and other stuff, with an illustration of mentioned items that I did all by my lonesome.

You may say, "James, you're not much of an artist." And I'd say, hey, thanks for commenting on my blog. Then I would add that you need to give me a break, for I used the crayons pictured to draw the crayons, and when I needed to draw -- for example -- the green crayon, I need to use the green crayon. But there's only one, so I have to draw it from memory.

I could explain it, or you could think about it.

...

See, I use the crayon I need to draw the crayon I need to draw, so, basically, never mind.

The Triumph Of Virtue And Nobility Over Ignorance


This is called The Triumph of Virtue And Nobility Over Ignorance, and it's at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. It's pretty much awesome.

The two babes on the top are Virtue and Nobility, and they've been wrestling with Ignorance in the sky for like forever, and they kick her down. And look! Ignorance has a baby or something. And they're kicking its ass, too! It's like a f'ing Maddox article! Anyway, don't get too sad, it's an evil baby who personifies Ignorance.*

There are some other things there, at the N' Simon. They have some Hindu art, and a bunch of Degas shit, mostly statues of ballerinas. For the most part, Triumph is where it's at.

*This is a little joke. Thanks for rollin'.
