The collaborative paintings are hung, the room is complete and the reviews are in: “I don’t hate it.” “I wanna go downstairs and play with toys.” “Ga Ga.”

“Criminal Intent” First Person StorySlamPosted by: Todd Marrone in Performance, Personal, Thoughts
I recently shared this case of Miss-fakin’-identity via First Person Arts’ StorySlam at World Cafe Live.
There are dozens of paintings hanging in our home but this is, by far, my favorite. A number of years ago, my wife (who actually does have strong drawing skills) set out to try her hand at painting. Like most burgeoning painters, she first attempted to paint a 3/4 portrait of a startled, topless, bald man with a goatee. To her dismay and my delight, the goatee resembled an unfortunate stain… thus the title.
If you weren’t able to attend last weekend’s UsedWigs Live ’10, check out the show intro, then print out all of these photos and make a flip book. It’s better than living your life in regret.
Once again, I pitted my design skills and digestive system against childhood cancer. Five minutes and 60 wings later… I gained 3% body fat, the guy next to me regained his title, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Oncology Unit gained thousands of dollars and chickenkind lost hundreds of appendages. Does anyone know how to get grease out of a sumo suit?
Friday’s festivities were ferociously fun… our Philadelphia fans, friends and family are phenominal. A flock of fantastic photos to follow.
Many thanks to the many heads who headed to MilkBoy Main Stage for the most recent installment of Jazz Tactics. If you missed out on the tactivities, take a peek at the YouTubular videos:
“Hey Todd, I just wanted to send you the pictures of the mural we did as a junior high art club project all the way here in Fargo, North Dakota. We got permission to do it on 2 4×8′ panels of plywood. Originally it was going to be much larger, but then we would have had to get permission from the district. We created a logo for our art club t-shirts and screen printed them this morning. Also, I shared your work with my art education professor who loved it and spread the word to his students. You are quite the inspiration. Thank you for letting us study you. Enjoy these photos. Catie Miller” Enjoy is an understatement. |
