Geoffil!

#1 Post by Evil Squirrel » Thu Nov 06, 2008 2:21 am

I hope you don't think this is too strange of an idea for your portrait, but it came to me last week when you were complimenting me on Fishie's picture, and I just had to do it!!!

I hope you continue to enjoy the artwork....

For one of my biggest fans!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

Wow! Your talent is growing by leaps and bounds, ES! (I guess that comes natural, to a squirrel.) 8)

Would you mind explaining to those of us who weren't part of that conversation why this painting captures Geoffil's Bored persona? :?

ES has done a number of pictures that haven't so much been about one's Bored persona as an idea that happened to catch in his head. He has worked off of avatars, small side stories, and forgettable little tidbits that happened to be mentioned that got the wheels churning. This is one of several pics ES has done lately that have worked off the latter.... ES imagined geoffil looking at a selection of his work, and lo and behold, he managed to draw exactly what popped into his little squirrel head.....

Good enough explanation? :P

Certainly. That's just one reason why I'm not an artist; my creative muse is too limited.

I love it!!!! You are so creative and it is beautiful. The use of color is my favorite part of the picture. (I was a Rainbow girl back in the day so it is fitting.) I am sure everyone is wondering how did you do the mirror part?

Thanks for the birthday present. I turn :?: tomorrow.

I am taking a course for my MBA called Creative Thought (on Thursdays) and I have to give a presentation in two weeks. My topic is Millionaire and may I show the class your creative picture? It is such a reflection of synchronicity which was one of our topics last week.

Is there any reference to AD as my PAF that I am not seeing?

Excellent, ES--and I love the addition to your avatar as well!

Happy Birthday to geoffil in advance--you share with my niece Fiona who will be 11. Mini-me is 10 today.

Heck, I didn't even look at the birthday list, or I might have waited a day to show it!

And you are more than entitled to use my picture in any situation it may be educational! It would make me feel special and give mini another reason not to annoy me.... :P

The infinite regression was easier to pull off than I imagined. MS Paint can't do much, but there are a few tricks I can do with it....

No, there is no AD reference... but I'm glad another of my blind stabs hit pay dirt with teh rainbow colors. It was another odd thought that hit me when i was coloring the letters and I noticed your handle had 7 letters....

Every time I want to squish ES like a bug, something like this comes up.

Amazing.

The "Geoff" of Geoffil saw it and was so impressed. He agrees with me that you should do this professionally.
