girl on a wheel – $60


It’s sideways.

Email me if interested.

*squints*

Are you SURE that’s not actually Che Guevara on a unicycle? That would have taken a LOT longer to get across South America, I’m sure.

Thanks, OMV!

      I was thinking Toy Story.

      Anyway, maybe in the distant future, when we have warp drive and replicators, we’ll also have software with a “Rotate Image” command. I can dream, can’t I?

        Dave, be thankful he used the “crop” function, lest we see the abode of the artist. And I for one have enough nightmares…

          And yet, Ms. Wanda, you keep coming back for more. Tell me, did you have a brother who locked you in a closet, then gave you a sweet so you wouldn’t tell? Maybe you like to have nightmares, no?

    It’s Edwina Scissorhand(s)!

      I think this is her cousin, Wendy Wheelfoot.

        Exactly, Edwina would be smoking while having a soy-clense with Patsy; so, this is less absolutely fabulous and more absolutely frightening (and if Pats has any of that Jeroboam of Absolut, I’ll be needing a cask or two)

        It’s the creepy, gritty re-imagining of Edward Scissorhands, complete with your favorite update-your-childhood-favorites tropes: gender swap of key characters, shakycam style (so shaky that the image is SIDEWAYS!), spartan musical scoring, and secret messages hidden in plain sight (we’ll spend five seasons dragging out the meaning of EMW).

          And it will either be an elaborate dream, involve a robotic replicant, or end up in a church somehow.

    Oh-oh: chupacabra fodder. I hope she can move quickly and quietly on that wheel as her overall effect is a bit goat-like (waist up). But I’m bettin’ the hair fingers will get caught in the spokes.

    This is actually a sketch done by the courtroom sketch artist after Girl successfully sued to force a local restaurant to install a creepy-wheel-and-claw-person ramp (with uniformly spaced metal rings for to grab with the claw). I am not sure they’re actually supposed to be selling this.

    looks like somebody pulled the other seven arms off of her. Thus the wheel. Kids can be so cruel.

    If someone were to animate this it would be comedy gold. She’d tip over because the giant claw would seriously throw off her balance, then she could use it to push herself back upright again. Repeat.

    She might have a promising future snaking drains, or giving colonoscopies.

    I know an elderly lady in Spain who redoes frescoes.
    I’m sure she can improve this.

    massive link.

    Dear E.M.W,

    I am writing on behalf of my client, Ms. Bear Ded Uni, a circus performer with the Traveling Carnival of Curiousities.

    Ms. Uni has instructed me to demand you cease and desist all use of her likeness for monetary, or personal, gain.

    Further, she has requested you return all negatives you may have in your possession.

    Ms. Uni states that when she posed for the original she was told that it was an artful rendering of museum quality.

    She was young, she needed the money.

    The artist, a young Naval Officer, promised the utmost discretion, but as you can see he clearly did NOT cover her lower half with the Grecian draping he said he would.

    This discovery has vexed my client to the point of rust. Please return all images, facsimile of images, negatives, and any other materials with my client’s likeness on it to the address below immediately.

    Yours Truly,
    Xenia Recordia
    Keeper of Figtail Feifings and;
    Barrister, Law Firm of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe
    #12 Pigs Snout Rd
    Waffles-Along-the-Thames, England
