So if you happen to follow me on social media,\u00a0<\/strong>particularly my Instagram<\/a>, you may have noticed lately that I’ve been posting a lotta pics of smashed-up and\/or kicked-to-the-curb furniture pieces with cartoony faces drawn on ’em. Truth is, I can’t seem to suffer enough for my stupid, so-called art<\/em>, so…turns out this is just a new form of creative expression that I think I\u00a0might be really enjoying…<\/b><\/p>\n

(Wait a minute, how’d my recent drawing of The Joker pulling his\u00a0hair out get in there?? Oh, well. That’s a screen shot for ya.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not gonna lie. I live in a REALLY crappy, congested neighborhood. That said,\u00a0it’s seriously\u00a0booming<\/em> around here with retail and residences. But to what END? Nature is dying all around me. Squirrels are dropping dead from high atop the exhaust-choked trees. And some pretty hateful people around here shamefully litter the nearby streets with their leavings. So it kinda bums me out. Not a walk with the pugs goes by where I don’t see a discarded couch or mattress or box-once-containing-a-giant-dildo from the local porn shop around the corner. And the compulsion<\/strong>\u00a0to document ALL of it gets sometimes\u00a0<\/strong>overwhelming. And,\u00a0inevitably, pretty\u00a0depressing. Which is why I think somehow humanizing<\/em> this stuff with expresses of pain or pathos or rejection might help me deal with it a little better? Not sure yet.<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve been using the Photo Editor Aviary<\/a> to create these and it’s really the first time I’ve ever attempted to draw with technology. I’m a pen and ink guy through and through. But this just seems to work for me right now. And who knows? Maybe it’s just another passing fancy. But I think it also might be a good memorial for the fallen furniture items that served their inconsiderate, slob-ass once-owners well.<\/strong><\/p>\n
