Grot – The Ghost of Reginald I Perrin

This is the missing end scene from the Radiohead video “Paranoid Android”. The decapitated protaganist sans tuque.
Apparently the subject has a nose-hair trimmer, but not an eyebrow trimmer.

*I* had to use the computer to look up Zach Braff. Hey, if an actor wasn’t in a science fiction series (ending in “Trek” or “Gate” for the most part), the odds of me knowing who the fuck they are are <10%.
Um I *think* it was supposed to be a pic of him from the movie, “Garden State” – yes, it is sad that I know this. What is sadder is that this movie sucked. Here is a still from the movie to confirm my useless blather… http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/zach_braff_i_garden__98698o.jpg
I can kind of understand the guys expression (you know big eyes holding back a scream of agony) seeing the pattern behind him makes him look a little like he’s ON FIRE.. extinguisher, quickly, call the burn unit. medical attention needed quickly!
i swear on all that is holy this guy used to work for me. he used to end every interaction with a visitor with “have fun… aaaaaand enjoy.” it irritated the living shit out of me. therefore, i hate i want to punch this piece of “art” in the teeth.
Okay, it’s 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches, and she purports to endeavor to cover a wall with these little postage stamp sized annoyances, so, why would she be selling this one? Never mind, I just took another look at it. Carry on…
I was going to make a little joke about how the head wasn’t floating, the subject was wearing a shirt that matched the wallpaper — but it turns out that is no joke. In fact, it’s exactly what the (ahem) artist was going for. Now I have to examine my own sense of what is right and good in the world and it’s messing with my head. I’m crushed.

You know your art is bad when even the subject in the painting looks sick.
September 20, 2010 at 9:37 am
Aw, poor Rachel. lol
I have a great and inexpensive way to own an original piece of art comparable to this one. It’s called doodling during conference calls.
I am the master of the genre!

Just what I want on my wall to brighten my day- Debbie Downer with poorly groomed facial hair.

This is how I like my celebrities: mounted on the wall.

She posts her stuff on Etsy so we know she has access to a computer. So why didn’t she use her computer to look up Zach Braff?
September 20, 2010 at 9:46 am
and macaroni pasta art as the background. Im impressed.
September 20, 2010 at 9:48 am
9 bucks?!? Mysterious floating head on a couch cushion from the 70′s!?! I think not. And the size of those nostrils? Lay of the powder, please.
September 20, 2010 at 9:48 am
@combustion, I thought the b/g was either flocked velvet or a fine tapestry , but I think you’re right.
It’s spaghetti ewwwwwws.

Looks like Dave Foley from Kids in the Hall.

You’re in the process of creating a huge collage of badly rendered B-list celebrities?
I’m working on my portrait of Richard Dawson for your approval.
September 20, 2010 at 9:59 am
So this is the funny story of Rachel Dratch’s pregnancy? That she somehow gave birth to a time traveling Zach Braff with Ray Romano? Whaaaa?

#12 Buzzkill- I was thinking along the same lines. Why Zach Braff???
Why am I asking why?
September 20, 2010 at 10:06 am
#15 razberries FTW!
September 20, 2010 at 10:11 am
@raz-
Thanks for clearing up the *inspiration*.
In that case, this would look fabulous next to my portrait of John Cho from “Harold and Kumar go to White Castle”.

September 20, 2010 at 10:24 am
And all these years I thought Zach Braff had a chin. I guess I was misinformed.
September 20, 2010 at 10:29 am
@Buzzkill-that’s usually how it goes for me too, only with Masterpiece Mystery included in the mix.
But you found Zach Braff on the computer without too much trouble. Now why couldn’t the artist?
September 20, 2010 at 10:31 am
It’s just so obvious but I can’t resist-dude loooks like Zach Barff.
September 20, 2010 at 10:33 am
I wasn’t sure who Zach Braff was and for a moment, I had him confused with Zac Efron… wait, Ephron? Effron? Zap Brannigan?
Hold on, I’m confused because that doesn’t look like Braff, Efron or Brannigan.
September 20, 2010 at 10:34 am
I want one of Dr. Cox that looks like Hugh Laurie and Kristen Wiig. Can I get that?

add some antlers onto it and i may consider buying it

@ #25 roquelaure :
why not put it through the paper shredder in front of them. it would seen better to me to make it confetti and then toss it at them
September 20, 2010 at 10:47 am
*hate IT, i mean.
although i *do* often randomly hate.

@ #27 invaderhorizongreen
he got fired.
i danced.
it was good.
September 20, 2010 at 10:57 am
You know, I didn’t realize it until now, but zach braff looks scarily like ray romano – even without a bad painter’s influence.

Maybe the portrait was painted on an ACE bandage?
It’s an ACE Original.

I think the drawing is backwards like the chest x-ray in the Scrubs opening credits or the picture is just bad.
SELLER – Has Zach signed off on your postcards? just wondering…
September 20, 2010 at 12:52 pm
I read her profile and she asks that no one steal her artwork or use her pictures for their own profit.
I don’t think she really needs to worry about that.

Someone should sell sense of proportion on Etsy. They could make a killing.

September 20, 2010 at 9:34 pm
That’s not Zack Braff–it’s Dax Shepard! Well, there’s your problem. It’s a common mix-up; the artist shouldn’t be embarrassed. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2579074048/nm1009277
