I Think This Is A Winner

No, Not another one, Just kidding !!!

Nice try, Roger...

I think its a winner. Of course it depends on what a winner means. I'm surprised how small it is, I wouldn't have guessed without the size reference.

HAHAHA!!!

really cool
winner!!

larger than a penny anyway. or is it worth a penny?

I agree. I own it !

Roger, you definitely in the winners circle!

I think you're a winner.

Dude, number one in my books!

Roger! where did you get your haircut ?
I am looking for a hairdresser just do that. love your hippy hairdo

Roger, by the way which one is the winner, the sculpture or that penny?

Thoughts, mostly.

Definitely a winner.

Joseph Cornell came to my mind for some reason

I think the penny is great but putting that thing in the frame next to it rather spoils the effect.

Hyoye.

Thanks for the complementary comparison.

Cornell died when I started doing my thing in earnest.....So, I guess I carried on a well recognized tradition....(In my own way, I hope)

Paul,

If you don't want the penny...How about this?

He was one of my favorite for a long time. Who knew I found something better in FAA.

Nice thread title, got a good laugh, but will say it's an effective headline to get people in. I'll put your piece in the winner's circle.

I like your vulture sculptures very much Roger, I just might be motivated to try something similar some day. I like the idea that it's a sculpture, combined with painting and can be hung on the wall yet has true three dimensional depth. Winner in my book.

no need to say or is it worth a penny mike. thats not very nice! i think its golden roger!

Nice, but I have to say I like the roaches more. :)

I bought it for 150. It's now worth three times that!

Winner, winner, Vulture dinner!

@ blaine -- sarcasm? being that its next to the penny, one can interpret that's the worth. compare it to a 100 dollar bill...

Rick,

That's why I have them....You can't please everyone with just one item.

And you can't account for taste...JUST JOKING...JUST JOKING

certainly, gets you thinner

Oh MY BAD....I thought i was on a different thread

By the way,

Re: Vulture Dinner

Do know that the only animal that will eat a dead vulture is a crow?

LOL.

I did not know!

you know what you said mike quit back tracking

Roger, " Vulture Dinner" reminds me a book I just read about the "sky burial" in Tibet, you might want to look it up.

who is back tracking? you were interpreting it your own way.

Why copy the attitude and writings of Blaine (This Is A Winner)? You are degrading your talents. Nice piece.

Subtle,EF....

Monsieur Dani,

Thanks for the compliment.

Now as to whether I'm degrading myself:...

I'm at this time in my life,when I'm comfortably secure in knowing what my" talents"are...

This thread was made as a spoof . Meant as a satire to make fun of those that went, in my opinion, far too strong in their criticism of Blaine's posting.

"...This thread was made as a spoof . Meant as a satire to make fun of those that went, in my opinion, far too strong in their criticism of Blaine's posting."


Roger, I applaud your satirical efforts with the thread, but as I recall, Blaine stated he's 38 (maybe it was 28) years old, and is surely capable of taking up for himself. And he did ask people what they thought of it. ;)


Nice work on the piece you've posted, btw.

Are we still talking about this guy? Stop the madness !!!!
I am getting myself Camo hat.

Ugh ... oh ... I thought this thread title said, "I Think This Is Dinner"

Blaine continues to rein in the echoes.

This is how people become known, ... alas, not by harmonious, clean, neat, planned events, but by serendipitous, controversial, messy encounters. The vulture, thus, is the perfect mascot for this thread. Blaine is the prey.

Have a nice meal, fellow artists.

RE: VULTURE DINNER



Carry On

What time, Roger? What goes best with this meal, red or white?

Mary Ellen,

I'm not sure.

They certainly don't taste like chicken.

Maybe Scotch...So you won't have to deal with the taste

Edit:

Dinner at eight

Would be great

(can't get off FUN GAME 16)

I think a lovely fruit salad might work.

There's lots of fruit here.

I think I would have Everclear and Kool Aid with my vulture dinner (otherwise known as Purple Jesus) Or some Dr Tish's mouthwash (favorite among alcoholics)

With all do respect Roger,
Why is he keep posting? I am here to see what you have to say about Art? But he is keep popping up with his camo.
I really admire some of the Artist quietly doing their work, and never asking for attention.
Art is your expression. If someone understands your art that is fine, if not that is fine too. Why do we need constant validation from other people? I mean validation, not critique. You do it for yourself. When you do it for yourself in best possible way, sometime people appreciate your work and bad part is, a lot of time people don’t. Bottom line is you do it for yourself. Don't ask for constant validation. There is time for joke and time to be serious, I don't like the idea that he is keep posting when he can spend more time doing other things.
I had to work very hard for a long time outside of home to be where I am now.

Roger....

I won't bring 1 bottle.....


I'll bring a crate


(More fun game 16)

Hyoye,

RE: "But he is keep popping up with his camo. "




Seriously Hyoye,

I hope I'm serious, when it calls for being serious....

What is this? Are you mooning me now? I must say this is a heck of mooning

Hyoye,

Re:"" Mooning , in other words , "Daydreaming"

I dream of the day when we all can get together and sing:....

Can't wait ! It seems long way to go. very difficult.

awesome vulture circle, winner!

Hyoye,

Yo!..I see that you are a fellow New Yorker.

Got to meet up

Is there a Coot book? If not there should be.

....

BTW - This thread seems to be catching up to the other one. Not in shear volume of text but in number of replies.

Edward,

Re: Coot Book



A 92 page prototype.

Tried getting it edited and published.....No Luck

Then got halfway through downloading the pages on Blurb...when I realized that the files needed more work.

And there it stands

All the talk about dinner reminded me of this cartoon...

I think it's all

I got up on the right side the bed this morning. I know this because I
finally tuned in here at close to 2 pm after a good day of work.

Roger glad you are in the winner's circle. Mike is not inclined to join you. Too bad.

Dave

... regarding "coot book"

... not sure about that, but there is definitely material here for a kook book.

It would be coauthored by us all.

pretty cool piece

Roger - definitely publish it. I used CreateSpace for my little books - quality isn't as good as Blurb but the cost per book is very low for a POD book. Plus since they are owned by Amazon, it getting on Amazon quickly. People who've bought the book haven't complained.

I'd imagine black and white images would be fine for a CreateSpace book. Costs for a 92 pager would be around $3 a book which allows one to sell it for an attractive price.

My dog book got a lot (well relatively) of holiday action, probably purchased as gifts as I image your book would. Definitely get it out there before the next Holiday season.

Yo! Roger
We ought to do that sometime, great idea. I like your dream theme " Kumbaya"
So busy on Friday, sorry I couldn't get back to you soon Roger.

I had an opportunity to work with 8 university students doing some special project.
I had 2 white students, and the rest were Korean and Chinese. I was working closely with one student who was older and advanced.
He was a Caucasian who studied bio medical engineering from Cornell and electrical engineering from other university waiting to go to grad school.
I thought he would be perfect assistant for me for this project. But then I couldn’t get any Asian students to participate on this project.
When he showed up, rest of them wouldn’t show up. Therefore I had to work separately. I found out afterwards why this happened. There are both side of story to this.

Roger, to me your drawing “Kumbaya” speaks volume
Freedom of speech, as an Artist we have liberty to speak our mind with our talents, and our spirits with any medium we have.
It would be privilege to meet you.
