An accidental collaboration
In today's snail mail, among the usual bills and eBay packages, I discovered a handwritten card from my friend and fellow artist Stephanie Smith. A handwritten card! When was the last time you got one of those?
Even better, included with the card were five of Stephanie's mini-artworks, on various papers, four of which are pictured above. The fifth one was pressed into service immediately.
This is one of the wrestlers, Mr. Flaming Pants, who arrived in Plastiqueville with a slot in the top of his head. I suspect that at one time, there were flames shooting out of it, to match the flames going down the sides of his pants (thus his name) - but they were lost long ago. Would you want to walk around with a big empty slot in the top of your head? I didn't think so.
So we took the sole triangular piece from Stephanie's collection and tried it at different angles in Mr. Flaming Pants' slot. I like this one the best. Very Star Trek, somehow. Or Ancient Aliens. If you're interested in seeing the other angles, let me know. We might try some of the other shapes, too.
Many thanks, Stephanie! Always a pleasure to collaborate with you, my friend.
