Revenge of Tiny Paintings



In order to further procrastinate on the full-sized acrylic portrait I've been working on, I opted to make some more of those 2.5" wide by 3.5" high watercolor portrait cards. This time one of the lucky recipients of my artistry (pls to see wee Coffin Joe above) is fellow blogger and Mad Mad Mad Mad Movies royalty, the Vicar of VHS. The Cleric of Antique Formats warmed by black little heart with this amazing sonnet. There are still 4 of these portaits to come so there's plenty of time to curry favor, Internet ;)

Allow me to be the first to say, Mistress, these are AMAZING! I couldn't be happier with my tiny Coffin Joe. You've totally captured his disparaging sneer. More poetry, but not mine:

...................whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things...


If I weren't afraid of damaging it, I'd carry this painting in my wallet and show it proudly to passers by as if he were my baby. You're MY baby now, Ze!

And what can be said about the gorgeous Living Dead Girl portrait! I am fainting with awe at your talent. Brava!

Liebling Vicar--you're not PBShelley? Drat, and here that's the image that was living in my head this entire time.

As for proper display, I recommend putting it next to the gold statuette of My Imperial Selfness that you've gone and commissioned ;)

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you like your art card!

Karswell--hmmmm... well, there is that small matter of the promised voodoo offering for your continued gifts of creepy comics and the Official Love Train Banner... Drop me an email.

Vicar--SHHHHHHHH! Don't blow up my spot, y0.

Hey Kate. Hope you got my message that I sent you on myspace. I definitely wanna see what I can do to get one. I might even sell you for first unborn child if I had to. lol

You're pretty!

Tenebrous Kate said...

Arbogast--what that lacks in iambic pentameter, it makes up for in flattery. Your PO Box is still at the Hall of Doom, right?

RS--will check MySpace soon and get back to you there!

Coffin Joe looks like he's about to slap a bitch.

Tenebrous Kate said...

Silvano--thank you so much! I just peeked into your blog and all I can say is "WOW!" You've got an amazing talent and it means a lot to receive a compliemt from you :)

Jack--come on now; you know that's how Coffin Joe rolls. Although, he's more likely to put poisonous spiders on a bitch than to actually *slap* her.

I'll second that emotion. Silvano draws a nice set of tits.
