*a little doodle from the desk of SSG Gordon at the Pentagon, from 2008 i think*
My husband used to come home from the Pentagon with a new daily desk doodle that he drew. I didn't keep all of them but I managed to keep a little box full of them. They always make me laugh because of their ridiculousness. This particular sketch makes me laugh for a few reasons. One being , the brain flying out of the guy's head-- whole. I mean , what an amazing shot! The ants are ready to climb the guy and do goodness knows what. Go insides the hole in his head? Feast on some brains? who knows. The girl looks pretty pissed and is possibly Asian , which is only significant because Mike was stationed in Korea for 4 years and was previously married to a cute little gal from there. I can't help but giggle to think of the possible scenarios that prompted this image to begin with.
Because of that I am calling this painting " Lemme splain!"
So while he is away in the desert,I have decided to translate these doodles into paintings. I had started this one in particular a couple years back , but then it was more of a passing thought. It had sat as a blue board for quite some time. With Mike away though , i find that it makes missing him a lot less time consuming. This way i can kill 2 birds with one stone. I can miss him AND not be a mopey lump on the ground. Besides this I have a million ideas I need to get out. So expect to see more from me , very soon.
