Good Morning Patient Reader,
First of
all I want to update you on my friend, Professor --------, the one who recently
had open-heart surgery. She is in
another state, the actual kind, visiting family, and recovering quite nicely. She is even ok’d to come back to teach in
spring term, YAY! I sent her a joke this
morning about a bear in a bar.
A bear walks into a bar and
tells the bartender, “I’d like a gin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . And tonic.” The bartender
says, “Sure thing, but why the big paws?”
Seems like there is more than one Anonymous out there. I received a comment from one of them just
last night and, as promised, I will post it below. I know that this is not the same anonymous as before, because this one
seems to be of the encouraging sort.
Well, judge for yourself . . .
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "The
REAL Fox Pictures":
Appreciation to my father who shared with me regarding this weblog, this weblog is genuinely awesome.

So the News on the Home Front: Well, the film seems to be moving along
nicely. We have most of the shots, and I
hope to be in the editing process before the weekend is over. As I have said before, the Team is
functioning together quite well, and I really like working with them all.
The work elsewhere keeps piling up,
and for the first time in my life I have fallen behind, but I think things will
have a way of working themselves out.
Still, headaches are headaches and there’s not much I can do about
that. Unless someone out there can send
some morphine sulfate.
I told a friend of mine about a plan
I have for a film. I believe I made a
vague reference a few posts back. The
film requires the services of a ballerina, and as it turns out I have three
possibles lined up. They have indeed
agreed to do it, it just depends on whose schedule is the most free at the
time. Anyway, he (my friend) has been
thinking about it for these last few months, unbeknownst to me, and he
approached me the other day and said he wants to see it come to its fruition,
and offered to take my treatment and draw the storyboard and assist in whatever
way he can. He says it’s my vision, and
he is there to see it through. I am very
excited about it, and hope to do the majority of it, if not the entire project,
over the spring break. No, no Mexico for
me . . . No Cancun (those days are over),
where I would just drink myself blind and my visit there would simply percolate
down to two words: International Incident. Yes, it would involve the State Department and
may sour relations with the country to our south for generations to come. Said incident, quite possibly, could involve methaquaalone and
tequila which, in the right hands, could be quite a positive experience. Know anyone with these aforementioned “Right
Hands?” I sure the hell don’t.
Also, shown below, I have some
photos taken by my friend Alex Lewis.
They are of the two lovely ladies Monet Moran and Bailee Pond. I know Monet quite well, but I have yet to
meet Bailee. Anyway, they began as
straightforward color photos, and I was given permission to alter them with my
own style and post them here, on my Behance.net account,
and on my friend
Stefan’s
account.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy them.
Alex, Monet, and Bailee were all kind enough to give me their permission
to use their likenesses, and I will post their website links here on CFF, as
soon as they are made available to me.
These sites are all in various stages of completion, as the masters are
still fledgling college students and have yet to put a portfolio of any
substance together.
Monet and another friend, Nicole,
have both agreed to model for me and as soon as I have the photos prepared, I
will post them here, on Behance, and on feedyourid.
Shall I place the photos here for
your perusal? Splendid! Here you go:

My art class professor has assigned
us two assignments together; a collage self-portrait made up entirely of
achromatic textures, using no pure black or pure white, but all of the values
of grey in between. As my own visage has
been known to shatter mirrors into tiny little shards, I am having a bear of a
time getting this project finished.
The second project is making a
multi-paneled Graphic Novel page based on the How-To principle. Picture the pictographic How-To’s one finds
when he or she buys a say, printer, and has the little instruction page where
the highly abstract forms, usually vaguely male in appearance, telling he or
she how to set it up. It has to be a
How-To of something we actually have done; it has to be achromatic once again,
and it may be aided by the use of properly appropriated materials, as long as
it is not downright plagiarism. I
chose: “How to Give a Neurological
Examination.” As I am merely an amateur
gynecologist, I don’t really feel I can give a How-To on that topic. Much as I would
like to. Merely for the shock effect, of
course.
So I suppose I will leave you to it
. . . I have some serious topics about
which I am formulating rants, but I am working under a truncated timetable, and
I fear I must sign off and get to work on the things upon which my grades are
based.
Once again, I thank you for your
patience, Patient Reader.
Always I remain,
The Cunning
