Possible Titles for Upcoming Art Show

Available for Weddings and Birthdays

Parked off  Sunset, playing Bird on a Wire by Leonard Cohen.  Maybe three dollars in his tip jar.   He told me his favorite artist was John Lennon  because he was inspired by Lennon's quote, "where there's life, there's hope. "  But then laughed and added that Lennon was shot dead a couple days later, so what did he know.    

Word to the Wise

     A friend of mine is an attorney who works with death row inmates.   This guy calls himself Blue Bird and he    made this card as a thank you for some canteen money. 

 (A leading mental health group, Mental Health America, makes a conservative estimate that five to ten percent of all death row inmates suffer from very severe mental illness.)  

Trout Fishing in Los Angeles

MacArthur Park from above.   Near 6th and Alvarado.  Looking East.

Cecil Solomon.  Originally from Oregon.    Retired from Five Star Parking three years ago.  (In charge of  cleaning and maintenance of parking lots all over the city.)    Morman, but prefers Latter Day Saint.

Power Bait.   A stinky paste made of krill and fish oil.  Similar to hatchery feed.

Medicine bottle full of quarters for parking.  "Them meter maids will gitcha."

Bread bag full of trout caught by Cecil.  Stocked by the Fish and Game Dept. two days earlier.

FYI.  The bottom of  MacArthur Park lake was repaved with asphalt in 1993 by the transit authority to stop leaks on the subway that runs underneath.   Since 1997, at least six bodies have been discovered in the lake. Many were members and/or victims of the 18th Street Gang.  A statistic I did not share with Cecil.

And now... Round 2

                                                                      (Acrylic paint, Photoshop lettering on found board 24" x 36")

The  term Underdog is believed to have come from the blood-sport known as bear-baiting where the "top-dog" was trained to attack the bear's throat and head, and the "underdog" was trained to attack the bear's underside. The top-dog had a better chance of surviving and of beating the bear, whereas the underdog was more likely to die.  (Source: Wikipedia)
