OHMIGOD - I dug these pants and shirt out of my closet at my parent's place last night. 1) I'd forgotten how good they look individually. 2) I had never thought of combining them before. I am LOVING my outfit today - and my boots and podbelt go so well with it. Anyway, I happen to have a black hula hoop (which has carbon-fiber patterned vinyl tape on it, I kid you not), so I present to you all:
The Road Warrior Hooper. Please make this happen, in whichever way you will. Body shot + head shot since mirror shots suck (sorry, this was best I could do for body shot):
edited to add close up of the carbon fiber mimicing tape:
I so enjoyed your portrait (especially with your accompanying text) that I decided to make it look like one of those "artists color plates" in the middle of old books. They often had some text below them from the book.
@Greg Sullivan - I'm beyond flattered! It's truly uplifting to see my work so move someone - especially in the midst of the UNRELENTING HELL THAT IS QUITTING CIGARETTES PLEASE KILL ME FROM AFAR WITH YOUR MINDS AND MAKE THIS TORTURE END i mean that's exactly the boost I needed ( kill me ).
Also - I've always loved and collected those old tomes that made use of that - and I wish more modern works would follow the example - so double the love there!!
But just knowing that something I can scrawl adds ANYTHING to the quality of someones day makes it worth it in spades - I think I especially love that you took that photo from the same location/angle as the original - AWESOME.
I'm trying - unfortunately for me, whiskey consumption and cigarette consumption are essentially identical states - if I've the one, I've the other. So... I AM SOOOOO FUCKERED.
Well good luck with quitting. I've been lucky enough to avoid cigarettes. But as you can see from my photos, my addictions run more along the lines of pizza and Peanut MandM's.
@ sonny - Nice Elmo man. I had to cook dinner so I tried something new. I cooked up some chorizo & mixed it with some ground beef & made some burgers. Them bad boys were deeeelicious! you just gotta make sure you salt the burger add mayonnaise & avocado. Just thought I'd share.
