Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!

Here is an 11x14 charcoal drawing of one of the six members of the Three Stooges; Jerome (Curley) Howard.
The team consisted originally of Moe, Larry, and Shemp.  Curley (or Curly as he later became known) joined after Shemp left the first time.  Shemp was recruited to rejoin the team after Curley's stroke.  When Shemp passed away unexpectedly, Joe Besser was enlisted to finish their contract with Columbia Studios.  Joe parted ways with the boys and Joe (Curly Joe) DeRita became the final official Stooge member.

And now for something completely different...

This started it's life as a stain on a piece of cardboard.  One day at Ken Tiessen's studio, one of the people there thought it was a prelim for a new painting.  As we all looked at the stain we saw different things much like a psychiatrist's ink blot.  This is the second painting I've done based on the blot.

This one in entitled...

FRANKLY SCARLET...   A LOVE STORY.

Believe it or not, I also saw this in the same blot...

I called it...

CRASH AND BURN!

I inserted text with this one to simulate an old pulp magazine.

Here is the infamous blot.

What do you see?

Bond 1

This is an 11x14 charcoal drawing of the man most people think of as the first James Bond, Sean Connery. This is from a still from the movie From Russia With Love.

Connery was, in fact, the first Bond in the movies, but Barry Nelson was the first Bond in the TV production in the 1950s of the book Casino Royale. It also featured Peter Lorre.

Until tomorrow...
