3. it's too bad hand illustration went the way of the dinosaur in the recent past
up until the mid-80s, you could have made a living doing this.

i knew a printer who recently went out of business who up until he folded did hand illustrations for things like letterheads, envelopes and stuff like that.

11. Graywarrior
you do know your duck got a mention in the jiggy song don't you?

But I still think you should let it go free.

15. well its a really long story,
Edited on Wed Apr-15-09 09:49 AM by RandomThoughts
It was just linking to your choice of name.

"come closer in the middle of the club with the rubber duck"

It was about 97% but I think most missed duck connection, that knocks it up to I figure around 98.5% maybe 99%

16. Does anyone else see Raquel Welch? Lovely.
Edited on Wed Apr-15-09 09:44 AM by Graybeard
A phantasmagorical Raquel Welch to be sure. Did you have a model? Posters/tee shirts etc. would be a great idea.

20. Well done, gray.

And I've resisted the urge to do this as long as I can:

When I Paint My Masterpiece

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
Ancient footprints are everywhere.
You can almost think that you're seein' double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room,
Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece.
She promised that she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece.

Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum,
Dodging lions and wastin' time.
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em,
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory,
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece.

Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola.
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

I left Rome and landed in Brussels,
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried.
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles,
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside.
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police.
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
When I paint my masterpiece.

--Bob Dylan

36. That is absolutely beautiful!
It's beautiful when you look at it all together, but the tiny details of the hair/wig/headpiece just blow me away.
