Potatoes

[valis2]

As a child, floating cats and the Barbie pantheon enthralled me.

Later, it was potatoes.

Wow. I particularly like Queen Victoria's potatoe and the cubist potatoe. Mashed potatoe is also close to my heart along with the Mexican jumping potatoe.

For some reason the Grim Reaper Potato is really making me giggle. heh.

You are definitely crazy, BUT in a GOOD way! *enthusiastic hug*

I love invisible potato the most! It's the cool understatement of the portrait that does it for me. *cracks up*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

hee! I'm so glad you enjoyed them. *waves tentacles*

The invisible potato took simply forever to draw. *giggles*

I giggled at Elvis, Picasso and Valkyrie potatoes, but mashed potato made me LOL.

I remember the Barbie Pantheon, but haven't seen the floating cats. *click*

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

I can imagine! You must have studied lots and lots of them to get the expression right. *sniggers*

Oh dear, the floating cats might take awhile...

The best two are the first two entries (the oldest entries); they're the original drawings I made.

The "Potato in a Wig" looks like Dolores Umbridge, to me.

My god, you were a strange child. Nice to know (however late in life) that I wasn't the only one.

I love them all -freemason and Dali especially.

The potato in a wig is my favourite.

You should market these as an exciting new range of childrens' toys! :-)

I stared at the Freemason potato for a moment, thinking "is that what I think it is?" because I had trouble reading the title on my little dinky laptop monitor. Then I figured out what it was and cracked up.
These are great!

haha!

Saddest thing is...I think I was about 25 when I drew these...*laughs*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Glad you like them! :)

You like the potato in a wig? Really? hee!

I have a feeling that most children aren't demented enough to want to play with them...heh.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm so glad you laughed about the Freemason potato! That's one of my favorites!

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

HA! SPUDART!

[corvus-coronis.livejournal.com]

I think the freemason, Queen Victoria & mashed potatoes were my favorites.

You're seriously tempting me to include some more backstory on my age 12 - 16 Z-goat saga now, you know that don't you? Embryo harvesting & all...

When I read your floating cat story, I was reminded of a website a family made about a secret world with winged cats their daughter had, which they only discovered after her death. It was mentioned on a documentary I saw on SBS last year; the site's called planet creature & it's here (http://www.planetcreature.com/planet_creature/default.asp)

Three cheers for potato nonsense!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Dude, I totally want to read about the goat saga.

That's totally fascinating. What a beautiful way to cope with devastating loss...

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

Why did I not comment on this yesterday? lol These are awesome.

I love the mermaid one, of course. The Picasso and freemason ones are also very funny! :D

[artystone.livejournal.com]

That's awesome! You need to send that in to someplace.

[artystone.livejournal.com]

LOL, yeah getting the lighting just right on an invisible potato can be a bitch.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I adore the mermaid! The mermaid potato looks a little baffled to me, like, wow, I have a tail, what do I do now? I love it.

Somewhere like...

"Spuds Daily"

"Heigh Ho Potato"

"Artwork of the Clearly Disturbed"

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Clearly you understand my pain! I always had you pegged as an invisible potato portrait painter...

[corvus-coronis.livejournal.com]

You will soon, just have to post my daily_deviant pic & then I'll slip offline to write
