Of those four excellent works, "Degalala" is the best, because I
appreciate any art humor I can get unassisted.

It's funny, but those are the two that practically painted themselves, with almost no
effort on my part.

Thank you, Robert. I know you do, and funny art is genuinely difficult
to find. I've begun hanging with all the young artists who will be
selling their stuff at DragonCon (a wonderful group of kids), but,
natch, they are very serious about their work. My art, otoh, is meant
to be laughed at, and unlike those nice kids, I'm not trying to make a
living. So, yeah, I take their stuff in the manner in which it is
intended. But it's nice (and rare) when some artist will lighten up.

I'm going to have to go with the crowd and nominate "Nightmads" as my
favorite, but I loved them all. The great thing about "Degalala" is
that it's not at all out of character.

Of the (apparently) older paintings, "Starry Nanites" is supremely
funny, and I love "Crowcasso." I'm not an art expert, but I know enough
to get basically all of the jokes. (With a little thanks to that art
history survey course I took in college.)

These paintings are more proof that MST3K has the best fans in the
world.

Well, we know how much Tom liked to dress up. It was a challenge trying to
contort a stumpy robot into a lithe and flexible ballet dancer, and I'm
still not sure how successful I was at it. But, I hope the spirit of the
thing came through.

> Of the (apparently) older paintings, "Starry Nanites" is supremely

That's the one that started the whole thing. About a year and a half ago,
I was looking through some magazine that had Starry Nights, and I riffed it
into 'Starry Nanites'. It was like, whoosh, the whole project just lit up
my head. Kinda like the idea for One Act Plays; you see your future.

That is what is so charming about msties; they gotta know a little bit
about almost everything, including art and literature, to get the
intelligent riffs on the show. Which means exposure to the original
artwork I'm using, or it wouldn't be funny. I've never doubted that y'all
would 'get it', and am heartily thrilled with this ng.

Wow, these are wonderful! My fave is Degalala, of the new ones. Of the
previous ones, I really like Gypsklee, but Mike Descending A Staircase
is just pure awesomeness.

Nice! You're pretty good.
Have you ever considered parody-ing a work by Frida Kahlo? I studied her a
bit in college and I really like her style. OTOH, a lot her stuff might be
too harsh for the subject at hand.

Oh man, the poor guy would just not shut up. The whining, the kvetching, the pleading and
tears (sigh). But afterwards, he was rewarded for his effforts with a sack of the new aqua
M&Ms, and got his brain back. Last seen, he was off to groom an ape.

It would be interesting to know where she was going, grinning like that.

Shyeah, I wish. Nah, it's an ah-teest term meaning something that just flowed out of your
mind and was very enjoyable, not considered to be 'work' at all. Of course, I can also

Yeah, she was a fine painter, but somewhat grim, and I probably would not
enjoy the work. How 'bout a nice Botero? He was a hoot.

Yes! At DragonCon! In fact, if you're really good and nice, I'll allow you to
help me schlep it all from my van to the exhibit hall. And back again. No,
no, just kidding. But if you and Connie have a spare moment and would like to
give passing art patrons a running commentary on 'bot and Brain history

Well, I was thinking of humbly suggesting musical accompaniment, at which I've
heard that you excell. A soothing Sousa march would be appropriate, I think.

Yeah. I know the feeling. I had a character in my novel basically
hijack the storyline so that he stopped being a minor jerk to a major,
obnoxious figure who could lord it over people because he he had the
most integrity in his obnoxious way.

I would be honored to help you convey your magnificent renderings to and
from their well-deserved place of honor in the exhibit hall. However, I'll
leave the commentary to Connie, since I'll be looking for artwork featuring
tasteful nudes.

Alas, you were misled. I played; I didn't excel. Sousa is soothing, though.

That's sweet, but I kid. The con will have lots of volunteers to set up the
panels and hang artwork. I even volunteered Tom to them, in case they need
anything welded to the floor.

Oh, there will be lots of that. Lots of 'fantasy' type, professional,
tasteful, respectful, aristocratic and demur naked gals. With dragons.

And I would be thrilled to be commissioned to Hell, cuz you have an eye for the

Oh, yes. There are some fine renderings of nubile young ladies in fantasy
mode. There are at least two artists who specialize in them, and are quite
popular. The DragonCon poobahs have an ordinance against anything X-rated, but
hey, for an aficianado with an imagination........

It has been rumored that dragons get all the cute chicks, yes. It makes sense,
of course. Transportation is cheap, whole villages can be reduced to charcoal,

A concern for the sensibilities of the newsgroup prohibits my discussion of
the first thing that came to my mind as an answer to this question. However,
I have already begun discussions with Connie concerning the second, which
is, of course, one of your very impressive works.

Yes, both would be excellent. Escher is giving me fits, because there are so many
potential great ones, and it's hard to choose. Parrish would be awesome, but requires
a lot of glazing in order to achieve that jewel-like effect, which means the painting
would take about a year to cure thoroughly. So, that one will have to wait until
after DragonCon. Great suggestions! Thanks.

Well. Apparently, Jean has "Nooooooo"ed herself right out of existence. It's
sad, yes, but fear not - her paintings are in good hands! According to Jean's
Last Will And Testament, which I coincidentally found written on the back of
the receipt from when I had my oil changed, and which is definitely not in my
handwriting at all, not even how it would look if I wrote it left-handed, no
sirree!, she left all her paintings to me.

I know it's what I - uh, she would have wanted.

Yeah, really! I've been living with Sunday In The Park With Frank since the

Hi Bill!

Greetings from Purgatory! Boy, it's not at all like I thought it would be, nope. Well,
sure, we got our purification rituals and lots of bitter herbs, but it's amazing what you
can do with a little sackcloth and ashes. I mean, we got some great couture going on
here! Plus, we got lots of work to do. We gotta assemble, like billions of sin-proof
armor for all those guardian angels, but fortunately we got lots of domes and plastic
bowling pins. It's those metal barrel banks that seem to go missing all the time. I
think Satan sneaks in here late at night and has a little fun with us. Obnoxious
bastard.
Oh, and we had fun with Mr. Agar and Mr. Urich. Mr. Agar provided us with lots of rope,
and was very gracious about it. I'm not sure why we need rope, but I've no doubt it will
come in handy as Mr. Agar seemed inordinately fond of all those spools, clear to the
horizon. He also told us funny Hollywood stories, like that time John Wayne rolled up
Susan Hayward in a bale of chain mail. Ha ha, those were the days. And Mr. Urich had to
go around telling jokes and hugging everyone, and gave us a really cute shadow-puppet
show after dinner. Then, *woosh*, just like that, they were both sucked right up into
Heaven.
Well, gotta go now. We're working on a msting of Satan's pubescent worries like when his
voice started changing and even minor demons felt bold enough to give him wedgies down on
the fifth level. Man, the thing almost writes itself.
Oh, btw, there was a typo. The will said, "I leave Bill all my *gratings'*. I know how

He was very whimsical, yeah, which is why I like his stuff. And, it was very
