does anyone have a fork? I'm not good with tools...

This is a larger version of the Chinese rice carton ( 16" x 16"). I've been asked to do some larger works and here is one of the first of the batch ( group, series, ?...).

I put this one on with a reserve of $500.00.

Chinese rice

I guess angst is relative. I know that red hot anger when I drop, spill, break, ruin...anything. But...its really important to remember that things can be picked-up, cleaned, fixed, and reworked. Everytime I see E's True Hollywood Story I feel that things are gonna be okay.

I listen to a Frank Sinatra radio show from the mid 50's called Rocky Fortune. He's this drifter that gets into misadventure through his "employment agency" ( AKA the plot moving device). Well, in one episode he's applying to be a rocket test pilot ( yeah...I know...) and Rocky has to get a physical.

Doctor: "Is your health good?"

Rocky Fortune: " Nah, but I ignore it."

a twist of Lemmon

One of my favorite performers is Jack Lemmon. His 1959 album A Twist of Lemmon is fantastic! His vocals are great ( it sounds like Jack Lemmon singing in tune) but his real strength is his piano playing. I think his son wrote a biography about him under the same title. Hey, where did the triple-threat actor/singer/dancer go? Gene Kelly was really the only one to pull it off with precision AND a little masculinity. He also has a great singing voice ( Our Love is Here to Stay... its wonderful...or should I say ...S'wonderful?)
