My daughter won a painting at Ringling Bros. circus from the pre-show painted by Asia, the elephant, a couple years back and Asia has far more talent than this painter.
The helpful diagram on the right side of this painting (light bulb and RASPBERRY RED stone) don’t show how to get to blue. Maybe that’s from burning it?
no i’d say she’s got deeper problems than that going on here than just some swollen glands.
also odd.. i thought alexandrite was usually purply/blue AND a gemstone?… either way, im not seeing the resemblance if that’s her selling point..
hmm maybe if she put in a little color shifting paint it would be more believable..
That’s what I was thinking. And, then I thought maybe this was a whole new fetish thing…then I thought that I am really deeply unhip or something because I don’t get it. (Did I say unhip?)
I think you’re all incorrectly assuming the non-existence of Rupert Grint goiter fanart. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Anything about goiters needs to be on throw pillows. Cautionary tales in crafting, they can never go wrong. Get more iodine in your diet, or expect for your chins to go long…
You can get $20 bucks for a painting that looks like that? I am heading over to the elementary school first thing tomorrow to invest in some art to resell… Hey kid how about a pack of gum for that painting?
Borg collectives can’t produce art since they aren’t able to be human or understand art. Etsy has collectives? I am going to have to look that shit up.
I really do think it is a scene from Carrie–see the blood on the chair? And then she went all psycho and shot blood all over the cafe. He mom is in the other picture with her goiter waiting for her to come home. Time for us all to go to our closet and pray–Eve was weak, Eve was weak
Alexandrite looks different under different types of lights, but different pieces also have different colors. The more expensive pieces exhibit the green/red colors, but the more common pieces are blue/purple.
that one is so bloody bizarre that i would buy it were it cheaper. at almost fifty bucks, though & sadly, it’s gotta belong to someone else. it should, too. wow.
theres a talent here unlike any i have ever seen before.
–
otoh, if you wanna see a different talent unlike any other seen before but, um, better, along w/ a whole endless mess o’ professionally severed limbs, you cannot not not beat:
WTF?!?! Holy Balls! How have I never found this Duggie Fields person before? This is the most bizarre site I’ve ever seen, love the voice over…
Is this guy for real? If so, why do all of his “acrylic on canvas” art pieces from “the 70s” look like they were done with MS Paint?
I like it. A lot. Too bad I’ve already gone over my artwork quota of bloody cafe scenes for this year, though. There’s simply no room for one more in my house.
I wonder if the lack of blood on the woman in the foreground and man who’s walking away means they lost their arms prior to going to the cafe. The blood must not be from their limb loss at all. Makes one wonder. This is a very interesting piece, indeed.
I just do not understand how defensive people get about Adele. Especially with how much she tends to insult everybody. I don’t dislike her, it’s just interesting how emotional people get about her.
where in anything that I’ve said so far have I said she’s NOT gorgeous? that painting looks like someone with limited motor skills tried to make a portrait of her, and it made me laugh, so I made the joke.
I think the funniest part is that she represented the fact that the stone turns red in some lights by painting a lightbulb and a red square in the corner.
Ohh I get it… after reading her shop description, I see she is on SecondLife. So this is an avatar of the socially-repressed-stay-at-home-in-mom’s-basement sort.
Oh lord, I tried SecondLife once. My avatar fell through a solid-looking slab of concrete in a park and got trapped in a rocky hole. I guess they booby-trap the place to keep intruders out?
Anyway, it might explain why she doesn’t know what a real person looks like!
I like the Norway Cats painting, but then I’m the crazy cat lady of Leona Valley and also bought the ghost cat, thanks for finding that one for me! >^..^<
It does have a lot of appeal…now I’ll need to go check out the rest of the shop, especially since the artist is cool enough to come over here and not be in a huff.
Everything is what you make it. I have two art degrees and worked in museums and galleries. I chose to have a boring office job (current law student). Many pieces in this seller’s shop are appealing and interesting.
Don’t disparage yourself, make art. Make lots of it. I know many people who paid money to learn how to do it, are great artists, and work the old 9-5 with shows on the weekend. Just don’t feel like you are entitled not to work for a wage because you suck less at something.
Goiter. Jayzus Martha & Mary. 27 years in the medical field and that word still makes me shudder and stick my fingers in my ears. At least it looks the way it sounds, esp. in that photo.
May I say one more thing before this is all filed away in the archives of history? True humor is self-deprecating. That’s the most important idea I learned from my Minnesota Nice and Scandinavian heritage. Norwegians like to tell “dumb guy” jokes on themselves. At the same time, anyone who does artwork (and we all do from time to time) and puts it out there for the world to see invites criticism. Sometimes we create something wonderful but most of the time we bomb. My advice is, I guess, don’t be an armchair artist. Participate and create. This has been a most interesting finale to a dull Minnesota winter.
May 2, 2012 at 7:05 pm
This is one of those paintings done by a cat, right?
May 2, 2012 at 7:31 pm
Um no honey not even a cat would lay claim to that.
May 2, 2012 at 7:32 pm
I don’t know… it kind of looks like she might be coughing up a hairball.
May 3, 2012 at 1:47 am
I think it might have been done with a cat. Just dip a very patient cat in paint and daub away in your artistic ability.
May 3, 2012 at 8:42 am
My daughter won a painting at Ringling Bros. circus from the pre-show painted by Asia, the elephant, a couple years back and Asia has far more talent than this painter.

May 2, 2012 at 7:05 pm
I thought Avatars were blue..
May 2, 2012 at 7:06 pm

May 2, 2012 at 8:00 pm
The helpful diagram on the right side of this painting (light bulb and RASPBERRY RED stone) don’t show how to get to blue. Maybe that’s from burning it?
May 3, 2012 at 11:19 am
That lightbulb was one of my more brilliant moments.
May 3, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Brava for the artist for having a sense of humor and joining us!
May 2, 2012 at 7:20 pm
I thought they could bend all four elements, personally.
May 2, 2012 at 7:23 pm
Touche!
May 2, 2012 at 7:06 pm
The only worrying thing about this for me is that Rupert Grint is more convincing as a woman than as a man.
May 2, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Noooo! Rupert Grint is adorable! *covers Rupert’s ears*.
No Thumbs Up for YOU!

The perfect accessory to bring out your swollen glands.
May 2, 2012 at 7:11 pm
I don’t think her glands are swollen. I think her face is on the back of her head.
May 2, 2012 at 8:30 pm
It looks like her head has rotated around to her back a la “The Exorcist”!
May 3, 2012 at 3:53 am
Does alexandrite cause this? Jesus, its worse that kryptonite!
May 2, 2012 at 7:06 pm
I think this woman needs to get her thyroid checked. She seems more lumpy around the neck region than is healthy.
May 2, 2012 at 8:17 pm
no i’d say she’s got deeper problems than that going on here than just some swollen glands.
also odd.. i thought alexandrite was usually purply/blue AND a gemstone?… either way, im not seeing the resemblance if that’s her selling point..

May 2, 2012 at 8:31 pm

Thought weeblet meant the goiter. But I suppose fan art would be just as disturbing.
May 3, 2012 at 12:19 am

if you turn the picture on its side, you can see how she fashioned a Berenstein Bear into a fashionable toupee.

May 2, 2012 at 7:14 pm
So… was she a-salted or not?
May 3, 2012 at 12:22 am
hehe a-salted! Wait..what are you saying here?

Cheekbones to die for. Too bad about the chin.
May 2, 2012 at 7:14 pm
And what is going on with that odd angle her neck takes on the left, below the jewelry?
May 2, 2012 at 7:14 pm
It’s as if the guillotine didn’t quite “cut it”.
May 2, 2012 at 8:22 pm
She was a passenger on ghost ship.

When did alexandrite become the June birthstone? I thought it was pearl.
May 2, 2012 at 7:35 pm
It’s also moonstone. Birth stones are tricky like that.
May 2, 2012 at 7:39 pm
I always thought pearl was May? Either way, the Alexandrite piece I have looks bluish/turqouise in natural light.
May 3, 2012 at 2:18 pm
May is emerald
May 3, 2012 at 3:41 pm
Alexandrite looks different under different types of lights, but different pieces also have different colors. The more expensive pieces exhibit the green/red colors, but the more common pieces are blue/purple.
May 2, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Pearl is the main birthstone for June. Alexandrite is the secondary birthstone.
My mom’s a jeweler. Her birthday also happens to be in June. *shrug*
May 2, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Pearls aren’t really gemstones, so a lot of birthstone-style jewelry uses alexandrite instead.
May 2, 2012 at 7:12 pm
So, the light bulb indicates her shoulder is getting an idea?
May 2, 2012 at 7:12 pm

Oh jesus … my good god … I swear I see a bloody handprint on one table (on the left), and a bloody cock’n'ball print on the chair on the right.
What in hell do they serve in that cafe?
May 4, 2012 at 1:25 pm
I like it. A lot. Too bad I’ve already gone over my artwork quota of bloody cafe scenes for this year, though. There’s simply no room for one more in my house.

I wasn’t trying to knock her appearance, I swear.

I’m going to put “Adele is gorgeous” in the spam filter. I can only hear it 10,000,000 times before it loses all meaning.
May 2, 2012 at 7:49 pm
I’d just like to reiterate that I was knocking the PAINTING, not her actual appearance.
jesus. you’d think I said she was a fat cow who deserved to burn in eternal hellfire.

Who’s Adele? Not my great aunt. She’s been dead for 40 years.

Isn’t Adele like 24 years old? Everyone is gorgeous at 24, it’s a freakin given. So blah.
May 3, 2012 at 7:46 am
I was nowhere near gorgeous at 24. Unless you mean gorge-ous, as in everywhere I sit turns into a gorge because of my tremendous ass.

They go with the alternate universe inside the artist’s head silly.

Whoops! I do have an original thought in my head occasionally – just not often pre-tequila and definitely not during exams week.
What I MEANT to say was: There is a graphic quality to that painting that it very appealing to me.
May 3, 2012 at 3:57 pm
It does have a lot of appeal…now I’ll need to go check out the rest of the shop, especially since the artist is cool enough to come over here and not be in a huff.
May 3, 2012 at 4:01 pm
I saw that too, and she gets 2 thumbs up from me for rolling with the punches.
I would buy the hell out of that painting if it wouldn’t blow the rest of my ramen noodles and peanut butter budget through July!
May 2, 2012 at 9:08 pm
I have been trying to submit things on here forever now, and something finally made it! Yay!
I personally enjoy the fact that one of her “alexandrite” earrings appears to be below her earlobe, somewhat close to her bulbous neck.

Perhaps this was created on wax and looked OK before it melted a bit?

Once again: I always think the reason that I have a boring office job is that I’m not a good enough artist to [attempt to] do it for a living.
And, once again, something comes up that suggests I might want to give it a try because, even though I suck, I don’t suck this badly.
May 3, 2012 at 8:51 am
But she’s only had four sales since 2009. I don’t think she’s making a living at it either.

Glorious.

I think I just hurt myself laughing. I was all like, “Aww, look at the widdle kittens” and then “GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!”

You’re a great sport! Come on back any time. And I do seriously love that trifle painting.

Oh, this is sad. I looked at that and said: “That’s my friend Peggy!” I apparently have unfortunate looking friends.

My brother said it reminds him of Peggy Bundy. It’s my avatar

I think the Regretsy math needs a little work; it looks more like it should be a minus sign (-) than a plus (+)

May I say one more thing before this is all filed away in the archives of history? True humor is self-deprecating. That’s the most important idea I learned from my Minnesota Nice and Scandinavian heritage. Norwegians like to tell “dumb guy” jokes on themselves. At the same time, anyone who does artwork (and we all do from time to time) and puts it out there for the world to see invites criticism. Sometimes we create something wonderful but most of the time we bomb. My advice is, I guess, don’t be an armchair artist. Participate and create. This has been a most interesting finale to a dull Minnesota winter.
