That's it, my Flatstock 20 poster will now have a sparrow, an owl, an octopus and a praying skeleton.

2008-12-12 19:15:12

anchoresse :

I should probably just keep out of this, but has anyone else noticed that one of the other posters on Paul Michael's website has the praying skeleton? So at least his portfolio has both...

2008-12-12 14:11:50

shutup paul.

2008-12-11 21:11:55

Carlos Artest :

also also- it should have been RLH's poster challenge to combine the rocktopus and praying skeleton in a poster.

2008-12-11 21:09:58

also- Its not our fault that there is so much readily available clip art that just ROCKS. SO. HARD.

MrBlonde7 :

I went to the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn over the summer, and every goddamn hipster artist ('cept for looba and nate, that is) had one of these octopi on either a t-shirt, poster, stuffed animal, or whatnot. It's totally the new praying skeleton of the poster world. I'm getting sick of it. But it was the praying skeleton a while ago. This dude is in AR, so it takes time for the popular crap to travel inside the country. I guess he gets some slack for that.

Numpty a) Someone who (sometimes unwittingly) by speech or action demonstrates a lack of knowledge or misconception of a particular subject or situation to the amusement of others. b) A good humoured admonition, a term of endearment c) A reckless, absent minded or unwise person a) "No. That wasnt what she meant, ya big numpty!" b) i.e. "Silly billy", "You big dafty" c) "That numpty's driving with no lights on!"

BBQ Garlic Octopus --------------------- I felt like some baby octopus but didn't find a recipe that appealed to me tonight so thought I'd post this original one that came out well. I've listed ingredients for a single generous serve which is all I was making but you can obviously scale it up easily. ---------------------------- Ingredients 250 g baby octopus (about half a dozen) 1/2 cup water 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 lemon Directions 1. Bring water to boil in a small covered saucepan. 2. Place octopus in saucepan, cover and reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 10 minutes. This is a lazy way to steam / boil them. 3. Remove from heat and drain remaining water using the lid. 4. Add olive oil, garlic, parsley, oregano and squeeze the lemon over the top and mix together. 5. Place on preheated medium BBQ grill plate and cook around 2 minutes with the head facing down and around 5 minutes with the tentacles facing down.

I mean, do you really think I sit high atop a crumbling brick tower somewhere, thinking deep thoughts about impermanence and forced perspective as the works of man crumble to dust around me, like some post-industrial Eye of Sauron? Well I do, but you shouldn't ASSUME that. Assuming makes an ASS of U and ME.

The comment wasn't taken personally at all. And taking "lumps" is fine... it's part of the territory for sure. Like I said, I expect a bit more sometimes from things like this. It's not a big deal at all. Richie, thanks for noticing I'm on my period.

I though only girls used the word 'immature' as an insult! (sorry couldn't help it) honestly paul, you shouldn't take my initial remark personally... it wasn't about your poster in particular, so much as it was about posters in general. Really the best approach in this very mature community is to take your lumps with a smile. I've taken plenty myself. And whenever I've allowed myself to get ruffled, I've ended up regretting it. So... that's about as mature as I'm capable of. Are we cool?
