Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

He aint nothin but a Cheese Puff

. . . crying all the time

this really is high class!

a portrait of Elvis made with cheetos on black velvet - created by Eclectic Asylum, the artist works with common objects that people are familar with in an effort to bridge the distance btween art and life

Elvis eating


from the artist:

So the idea for this piece came from...what else...eating cheetos. My fingers turned orange and I noticed it created an accidental mark on my clothes. From there my thoughts went to fabric as a surface....poof...it made me think of velvet paintings. The Virgin of Guadalupe, Unicorns, and probably the most famous incarnation of velvet painting. The Velvet Elvis. It's kitsch. It's cheesy. Thus a Velvet Elvis painted with cheese puffs.



thanks to Epiphanie Bloom (PoMo) for sharing this video with me

hi Gaye,
young Elvis was a very cute little cheese puff indeed
no wonder all the girls loved him back in the Elvis-movie period . . . hubba hubba
i think this little video proves he is still very much in the cultural psyche . . . a truly unforgettable character!

I was wondering when you were going to post it, Lol.
I really appreciated hearing how the idea came about... it still cracks me up every time I think about it!

What a horrific blog! I'm going to go burn my genitals with some bleach and thrust a fork up my anus for some temporary relief!!!

You are such a bore; you A-Bore-Journalist!

hi PoMo,
it was in the back of my mind ever since you sent it to me . . . definately Deep Pencil material!
thanks




hi alt_ed,
i see conversing with David has improved your manners! haha
he is a little obsessed with anal sex, sex toys, and masturbation . . . oh and my writing, and me, and you
someone might need to book him into a mental health facility before he grabs a pea-shooter and a dildo and heads to a clock-tower to shower his sacred seed upon the unsuspecting crows
