Also, a reminder- Strangely Orange Snack Appreciation Day is fast approaching, and I'm trying to keep it gaining momentum. I'll be eating only orange food that day, and thanks to the menus and ideas of this blogs' visitors, I'm not going to have any trouble at all in doing that.
In honor of this special holiday, I'm selling economy t-shirts at my cafepress store with absolutely no mark-up on my part. A mere $8.99 plus shipping to show your S.O.S.A.D. pride!

Whoopeeee!
Ha! The deep dark secret of dating revealed!
OHHH I am sooo getting a tshirt now. Love the new photo!
Hmm. I liked your older work better to be honest Terry. It used to be a lot more clever. Like, "Basil Leaves" and "crushed rosemary". I thought that showed a lot more class and thought than do your new pics.
My two cents.
thanks all!
to anonymous- I've recently discovered the wonderful taste of lead paint chips. All the flavor of regular chips, but none of the calories. Do you think that might be my problem? (p.s.- I think this shot is pretty good).
It IS a good shot! Don't trust anyone named Anonymous! Heck, I don't even let them comment on my blog anymore.
I totally disagree with anonymous!
The message doesn't necessarily mean farting...it's all those things we hide until we feel safe enough to let go! It's DEEP...he or she just thinks on one level...your the best!
hmm...odd. I immediately thought of bladders. Sigh. Alas my childhood was completely deprived of whoopy cushions.
Limited Rebellion, and Queen- thank you.
anonymous- you seem to be not alone. very few comments on this one.
I posted this in an art forum that I frequent, and it was quite popular. Maybe artists are more familiar with whoopee cushions.
now speack inglish (from Brazil),
adoro seu blog e seus trabalhos...
parabéns...

I like it, but I can kinda see anonymous' point. Your other stuff has more of a narrative. The objects/characters seemed to be multidimensional--they had personalities, they had lives. Images weren't just "cute" but seemed to offer a peek into the lives of these objects. This one is different because it's missing the context/narrative that makes us better understand/appreciate what's going on with these characters. And without context/narrative, there is no drama. Here the characters seem two-dimensional rather than having full personalities, and there is no story, it just seems like a one-joke image.
Anyway, the reason I was writing, was because I wanted to point out that those fart-prevention clips may also be chastity belts, since the clips are going to be keeping these two from makin' whoopie on their first date. And I bet more people agonize over the first impression implications of makin' whoopie on a first date than farting on a first date...
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, Melissa. That's the great thing about art.
For me, this image has deeper connotations than most of my work though. I think "the queen's" comment had it just about right.
I'm still divided as to how much I like this one and refrained from commenting because of it, but I wanted to point out something else--I do love following your Twitter feed, but it slows down the loading of your site by A LOT. Is there any way that can be fixed? I thought it might've been something else since so many chances have happened here recently (love the new header btw), but each time, the whole site will load and just *hang* until Twitter finishes loading.
*changes* not chances. And I'm using Firefox, so I know it's not some silly IE thing.
I love it. Nearly snorted milk out of my nose. Oh I can read deeper meaning into this image,alright, but my question comes from the obvious fart joke: why is it that men remove that binder clip a full five years before women do?
(okay, perhaps whoopie cushion humor is about as deep as I go. Wanna fight about it?!)
