Think Pink

If you ever glance at my LJ links, you may have noticed one for Knottyboy, which is the blog of Wayne, “a self professed liberal with aspirations of slapping the shit out of bush & cheney on Hardball Live!” (His self-description changes periodically, which is part of the fun.)

Our friend and reader Lisa in Iowa followed that link, began reading Wayne’s blog, and ultimately visited, live and in person, Blue Fox Gallery, which features the art of Wayne and his other half, Tony. I’ve seen a photo of some of the art Lisa bought hanging on the wall of her house. It is SO COOL to know that my Live Journal provided a means for them to connect.

Recently, I was reading, on Wayne’s blog, about a T-shirt painting party he and Tony had with some of their friends. Readers of Three Fortunes in One Cookie may remember a conversation in which Shanon asks Phillip if he’s the black sheep of his family, and he replies, “More like the pink one.” So you’ll understand why I think the serendipity of Tony’s T-shirt is another thing that’s SO COOL. Thanks, Wayne, for graciously providing me a copy of the photo. You and Tony help color my world.

  1. I thought that their t-shirt painting get together looked like a lot of fun. They were all WAYYYYY more artistic than I could ever be, though. Tony should have been working on my dog masks instead of having so much fun, though, dammit!!

    Speaking of links on your site, I just noticed tonight your link for One Word Art. Who’s the artist? Timothy? You?

          1. Aren’t you the quiet one! And are you the ‘R.D.Cochrane’ Timothy mentioned who wrote the story that managed to not get lost in the ether? (D….D…Denise?…Deborah?….Diane?…Dillard?…Douglas?…(I know it’s not Dumbass, that name’s already taken.)

              1. Ahhhh….My middle name is Diane.

                I’m going to have to buy that book now, aren’t I? I was going to boycott it since they left out Timothy’s story, but I want to read more of your work, so I guess I’ll break down.
                (I hope you don’t get 27 partial copies of this on your email. My computer is acting funky.)

                1. Thanks–you’re the first reader who’s told me anything (outside of my family and my writing partners). I’m glad you liked it. I wanted it to be longer, too. I wanted it to be a novel. Then lots of stuff changed. But maybe one day…

                  1. You’re working on a novel now, though, aren’t you?…That you’re going to put the camels from your dreams in? I’m looking forward to that. Any kind of time frame for publication?

    1. Just in case Tony reads this, I thought I better clarify: Just kidding, Tony! You have all the fun you want. I told you it didn’t matter when the masks were done, and I meant it. =)

  2. Where can we try to get t-shirts like that one? It’s a great marketing concept for you all. Really. I love it!!!

    *and I really think the idea of a t-shirt painting party rocks. I wish we did fun stuff, creative stuff, like that.
