Famous Paintings the Way They Were Intended: The Son of Sheep. 06.27.11


Apple. Face. Hat. Ocean and wall. It's so artistic, but WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?! Nobody knows. Except... the flock. This particular sheep really enjoys apples, so he is about to partake in a delicious snack. He's having a terrible wool day, hence the apple in front of his face & the hat. He's slightly embarrassed (though I don't know why--sheep's hot as shit), which is also why he is dressed to the nines in a lovely suit. Boom. Explained.

5th in the series, Famous Paintings the Way They Were Intended to Be: The Son of Sheep is inspired by and dedicated to Rene Magritte, the Belgian surrealist painter..

And, be honest now... when I said "Belgian", the FIRST thing you thought of was waffles, wasn't it? Yea. You know that it was.

Famous Paintings the Way They Were Intended: A Sheep in Need 06.10.11

As you may have noticed... but probably haven't, because, really, who checks on the sheep every day besides me? You do? Oh. Well gee, I'm absolutely blushing. Anyway, the flock has been quiet of late, because their faithful shepherd is a grown-up now and silly things like work and social happenings keep getting in the way of drawing funny pictures of sheep. So you'll be bombarded with a few new sheepies right now. The flock is IN, baby!!

4th in the series, "A Sheep in Need" is inspired by and dedicated to C.M. Coolidge, the painter of awkward dog portraits. Animals doing people things? That's preposterous...
