Re: Whatever Happened To That Blob Painting?

[Jemorile]

absurd is a wonder =)

[Mad5am]

How much did 666 go for in this auction?

[FrancisFerdinand]

That was pretty cool. I guess you like horseracing... do you think that we'll ever see another triple crown?

[tlg847]

That's a good question. Given today's breeding practices and the rigors of the three races, it's obviously been very difficult for horses to win those three races, in that period of time, at that point in their lives. That said, I think some great three-year old will win the Triple Crown someday.

I wish I had enough money to buy art off some of the people here on Youtube, there's some great talent here!

Congratulations on making the winning bid (and actually sticking by it!)

I like your reasons for wanting it, and it's great that the end of the Blob story is recorded, Youtuber to Youtuber :)

[tlg847]

Thanks, samsarajade. Keep savin' those pennies 'cause there is some great talent here! I like that phrase, "Youtuber to Youtuber."

[brayshizzle]

yay tom!

[andymooseman]

I hate to be pedantic... but wasn't "Pictures Of Lily" by The Who? :)

[tlg847]

You are absolutely correct...I had just found that I'd misremembered that and put up a correction in the video box when I got your comment...thanks for the gentle swat in the head!

[Paperlilies]

That song!! I don't think i have ever even heard it before!!

It was sent off today, should be there soon! I was a little sad to see it go after all we've been through together!

[tlg847]

A classic from The Kinks. (Actually, slightly obssesive/perverted if you listen closely to the lyrics!) Karen and I are looking forward to opening it and finding a good spot for it in our home.

[tlg847]

Actually...I can't believe I did this...it's The Who, not The Kinks!!

Oh, the perils of old age!

[marieRao57]

LOVE THE SONG!!!! I hadn't heard it in such a long time, and now, of course," I can't get it out of my head" ( ELO.)

[tlg847]

Oh no...no...no.

and its great that u are supporting people with their efforts to use this site as a "launching pad" for what the want to do with thier lives

[tlg847]

Appreciate all the kind words...I hesitate to say this...crass1!

[thecrass1]

grea job, tom..awsome use of this form of media...i love what your doing on here

[WrenFreya]

It looked like she made you some paperlillies when she packed painting.

[tlg847]

I know. I noticed that!

[DrLemur]

LOL I knew that kinks song would show up somewhere relevant one of these days. Well done. So glad to hear it was you who got the painting in the end Tom. It is the same feeling one might get when a puppy is sold to a loving home rather then a negligent one.

[tlg847]

Kinks just jumped into my head when making that vid.

Thanks, Doc.

[bugfood]

Pictures of Lily is by The Who. I suppose the Kinks might have covered it, but those vocals sound a whole lot more like Daltrey and Townsend than Davies and Davies to my ear.

[tlg847]

Yes bugfood, you're correct. See comments below for the rest of the story.

[Argent009]

Gee, what would you offer for one of my paintings? :)

[tlg847]

Paint it in a video first...then we talk!

[Argent009]

Man, I already painted it, rats! Hmm, I guess I could paint it in a video but, that'd take a very very long time, even if I speed it up like 10 times it's be long. I don't paint fast. :)

[tlg847]

Two words: time lapse!

[Argent009]

two words, read again. :)

(even if I speed it up like 10 times it'd be long). That's what I meant. Also I'm out of paint, canvas and good paint brushes. I Just have cheap $1 brushes, little plastic acrylic jars and some sculpey right now. :)

[tlg847]

Take one shot a day for a month...voila! Sounds like an awful lot of excuses for a "can do" guy like you!

[Argent009]

I've given up, now that several people have ripped off my video reviews idea, all my plans are for crap. I give up.

[josephbeuys]

Sweet! That's so great that you're the one that bought the painting. Well done sir.

[tlg847]

I like that popsicleculture...I'm a post-post modern man! (That doesn't just mean, "old" does it?)

[lmirchin]

Perfect musical choice! It has Paperlily "theme song" potential. Great video Tom. So glad you won. I know the painting means alot to you!

[tlg847]

Well...the music part was always my job, right?

[droppedelbow]

I think a song about adolescent masturbation and dead porn stars may not be her idea of a good theme, but I may be wrong.

It's a great track, but ooooh it has dark undercurrents. :)
