Grimly - Fuzzy Wuzzy

(Click image to enlarge.)

While meandering the Art Expo at the Javitts this weekend in hopes of finding something to hang on my bare but vibrantly coloured walls, I stumbled upon Gris Grimly's artwork and illustrations. I quickly became enamored with Fuzzy Wuzzy, of the "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair" rhyme. The fuzzies in the background are great framers for our follicle challenged Wuzzy. Grimly's work is partially inspired by Edward Gorey which explains why I like it so very much. Now I will proceed to print color images of Fuzzy Wuzzy and tape them to various parts of my apartment walls to find an appropriate hanging space. The large space over my bed is devoid of all but the color blue, but I decided, Fuzzy Wuzzy might not be the most appropriate image to hang there. I am informed that I will never forget that this is the first piece I bought as a collector. I will gaze at it daily with immense satisfaction and the feeling that all is well in the world as long as Fuzzy Wuzzy is not fuzzy.

Movies: The Aviator, Finding Neverland, Constantine, Kinsey: I loved Kinsey by the way, which reminded me of HumSex at Stanford with Dr. Herant Katchadourian--one of my all time favorite college professors
Reading: That book about the autistic boy and the dead poodle... still... people with Asperger syndrome read faster than I do
