the old dear would have been called Master Baitor...

Precisely, dahling...

Sorry hon, but you lost me a little here...

Whoops...scratch that, reverse it...    Sorry Patti, just realized you were referring to the collage pic.     Anyway, like I said, all those take place during the Tom Jennings story line.  Sorry folks - my brain's in burnout mode; need a vacation!

Tired wench,

Heather

Now Rainey, darling, you really ought to know better than to sip tea while reading *my* posts!

Don't drink water either...goes everywhere! Steve, you crack me up...

First, a disclaimer: Angel symbols do nothing for me.

Well this is the only angel picture I've done so far, so don't worry...

Having said that, I have to admit that the image of an angel smoking a cigarette is just appalling enough to be inspired.

   

What I can't fathom is the patience it takes to create the incredible detail in the jacket, the scarf and the wings.

It took an ungodly amount of time...between that and various other deadlines, I don't think I've pulled so many all-nighters in my life {dramatic gasp}.

I hope to hell you got a grade worthy of the effort!!! But I wonder: has your instructor asked who your "muse" is? And if you told them, did they know who you were talking about?

As it turns out, I got 4 A's on that single illustration - whoo-hoo! {ignore my enthusiastic grin}

Anyway, the subject of *who is that* always comes up when i'm showing thumbnails, references, etc. It was actually a toss-up between a Briscoe-esque angel and a Grayson angel...grayson won. But, usually no one is quite sure who she is or who I'm talking about...and they usually have no clue as to who her characters are (weak chuckle). Which is one reason why i'd like to get a few copies of her movies in the library over here, and yet another reason why I'd LOVE to have a copy of the proposed Grayson book one day...then I can just say "well, here she is...yes, its a whole book devoted to Grayson Hall...very informative...and this is how you can purchase one...pass it on." {wink to J99}  There is at least one other fan of grayson up at the college here...a rare thing indeed. 

A man with three buttocks!
Heh...there's me throwing up some old-school Monty Python love.

Thanks Ian...I was wondering if anyone would mention that, casually in passing... 

I always loved how throughout the show, Grayson as Julia Hoffman (regular time, of course) is exactly like that picture. Saintly, almost an angel, but she has her little dark side that she shows off every once in a while.

Yep, she could be quite the sly minx...I mean lady...when she wanted to be:

"On your feet or on your KNEES!"



Julia was a tough and smart cookie, but not perfect...and that hard shell seemed to fade a bit as her vulnerabilities and softer side peeked through. And all those things are what make her so darn special (sniffle.)

Anyway - thanks for the feedback on the picture, guys...greatly appreciated.   

Yes folks...more GraysonArt.    


I wish I could share this stuff live...it never looks the same as it does in 'real life'. I have a love-hate relationship with the equipment available to me, can ya tell?   Anyway, this was a final for a class...had to combine various elements and come up with an angel motif. Its supposed to be a combination of one of Julia's expressions and Pepe (Grayson's character from "Satan In High Heels.") Mixed media, 11x16, with some gold and silver accents that unfortunately don't really come across well on screen (including some interesting symbols on her scarf - sigh). Well, this is what I ended UP with...

Disclaimer: This is meant to be kinda satirical in nature, so no offense is meant to any faith or creed whatsoever (Believe me!) Anyway, I kinda like the idea of a Graysoney angel, looking down on us with a mischievous gleam in her eye...



And this just a wallpaper collage/pic I did a couple months ago....kinda went along with a story I posted recently on another list:

Nancy: Grayson, did you bring the lyric sheets with you?
Grayson: Who needs 'em? Just follow with me: "LET'S ... DO .. THE TIME WARP TODAY-Y-Y!"

LMAO, Steve...

LOL...
