"he was talkin' his foreign talk"
This is block #95 in the Kettle and Took collaboration series KTGoodlove for Art-o-mat®.Yep...one more of the color-problematic ones. Girl is Pepto Bismol pink and background is chartreusey green in real life. I was totally unaware of this when I was making the collage, but the design on the dog man's shirt is the same color as the background...cool.
"God only knows where they're going, but being lost is most of the fun."
This is block #94 in the Kettle and Took collaboration series KTGoodlove for Art-o-mat®.Another one I like a lot. Not that I don't like all of them, but some I like more than others.
"learning to like his own voice"
This is block #93 in the Kettle and Took collaboration series KTGoodlove for Art-o-mat®.
This is block #92 in the Kettle and Took collaboration series KTGoodlove for Art-o-mat®.
I really like this one a lot, too.
In case you didn't know, Kettle is from Iowa. I'm from Michigan.
"How late it is."
Sometimes the monkeys work as girls, too. I usually only use them as men.
This is block #91 in the Kettle and Took collaboration series KTGoodlove for Art-o-mat®.
"Woah. It was like, woah."
That phrase cracks me up...I don't remember where I got it, but it was from tv.
Another one where the chartreuse green shows up as salmon in the scan, so I had to take a photo of the finished piece.
This is block #90 in the Kettle and Took collaboration series KTGoodlove for Art-o-mat®.
"Probably."
This is block #89 in the Kettle and Took collaboration series KTGoodlove for Art-o-mat®.I like this one a lot. No reason, I just do.
"I'm not the "other" anything. I'm me."
This is block #88 in the Kettle and Took collaboration series KTGoodlove for Art-o-mat®.This yellow in the background is more of a chartreuse (or maybe canary) than what is showing up here. Slightly less saturated.
"you can be happy"
This is block #87 in the Kettle and Took collaboration series KTGoodlove for Art-o-mat®.And again...the pink in the girl's face is Pepto Bismol pink. Sorry, Kettle...I took out your entire background color in this one.
"I come and go as I please."This is block #86 in the Kettle and Took collaboration series KTGoodlove for Art-o-mat®.
It is one of those ones that I like because I can't tell who is saying the words...him or her.
I am SO thrilled to be able to announce that Greeny (my first Art-o-mat® machine)
is now located at the most wonderful coffeehouse in Northville, MI -- SOLID GROUNDS.
I have dreamed of moving Greeny in to Solid Grounds...it is one of my fondest wishes come true! Solid Grounds is such a warm and friendly place...there is always something going on. Plus, BIG and exciting changes are taking place and I feel so privileged to be a part of it. Thank You so much, Teresa and Mike! (more pics tomorrow)
And, of course, Buckety is still thriving at Detroit Comics in Ferndale, MI. Buckety fits in so well with the wacky, quirky, FUN atmosphere. Thank You, Brian and Lori!
