Love don’t live here anymore
So there I was minding my own business and quietly walking down the street when I see an abandoned mattress laying against the park railings. I’m sure it’s not the same for everyone but I have always had a compulsion to write ‘Love don’t live here anymore’ on an abandoned mattress. It just seems so fitting. Abandoned mattresses aren’t the most common item of street furniture but whenever I’ve seen them they are either nowhere near home or I don’t have any paint on me. Until today.
As this was being discussed with the other half of id-iom we came up with the notion that this one is too obvious and must have been done before elsewhere. A quick internet search hasn’t revealed anything but I think I came up with it myself and i’m sticking to that. It is possible however that I have just subconsciously stolen the idea and then passed it off in my brain as my own. Who knows?
Cheers

With the twinkle of love in his eye this skull is pretty happy about himself. You can also see the expression of amazement on his breath. What has he been up to you wonder? I’m not sure myself but that hasn’t stopped this happy chap…

Don’t Dare Stare
Oliver Reed with fiery red horns is staring straight at you. What do you do? Come on, WHAT DO YOU DO?
Well, I’ll tell you what you don’t do. And that is stare back at him. If he so much as thinks that your giving him the stinkeye then it’s all over for you. He’d come at you with all guns blazing and there aren’t too many people that could have handled that. Luckily this is only a painting so you can train yourself not to be staring at strangers. Practice makes perfect!!
