After work on Monday a friend drove me to Galpin to pick up my car.\u00a0 That day was one of the 5 days a year that it happened to rain in Los Angeles, and so the dealership didn’t bother to wash my car as they’d promised.\u00a0 That left me a little bitter considering I’d been joking to myself that this whole car repair business was just a really expensive carwash.<\/p>\n

We went to in n’ out for dinner before I went to play racquetball.\u00a0 I’m sorry, but I don’t understand the big deal with In n’ Out.\u00a0 Every time I go there I’m less and less impressed and have to remind myself not to come back.\u00a0 Their burgers (like the Big Mac) get smaller every time (not my imagination) and their fries taste like chalk bits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After I got home later I decided to take a crack at Sam’s back.\u00a0 Not literally of course, but painterly.\u00a0 She had modelled for that ribbon painting, but everyone that has seen it has noticed right away that she has “too many ribs” or “ribs coming out of her back.”\u00a0 see here:<\/p>\n

So, I got out my tools and went to work.\u00a0 I had a strange conversation with myself about touching up one’s own work.\u00a0 We all know how most folks feel about George Lucas’ decision to tinker with his old creations.\u00a0 However, I’m certainly no George Lucas.\u00a0 Since the painting has never been shown outside my bedroom I felt it was okay.\u00a0 Truthfully I felt more worried about figuring out the color palette than anything else as the skin had been done in multiple layers over a number of weeks and it might be hard to duplicate that look in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n

Here is a shoddy photo of the area after my “fix” last night.\u00a0 The placement of the spine still doesn’t sit right with me… but this position is technically almost impossible in real life – so I challenge y’all to get in the position and show me how it SHOULD look!<\/p>\n

I also found out that at the same time I was making a “ribbon girl” one of my art idols, James Jean was doing his own<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
