My Buddy Ben considers Blogging


























(Ben and me, painted tile by Ben and me, painting by Ben)
Ben is a painter and awesome guy. Sweet natured, polite, friendly, creative, thoughtful, intelligent. Ben is thinking about blogging. Why not, Ben? He has an online gallery (click!)but a blog is a more active thing. I'd have to give him some pointers, such as put EVERYTHING in there, with pics: Ben eats a burrito, Ben walks to the park, Ben buys beers at the store, Ben strips off his shirt on a hot day to wash his car......

When the Rolling Stones give concerts, women toss their undies at Mick. When Ben goes to the laundermat, women toss their undies at him.

    I love blogging- Gary forced me into it! And I am sure he would comment at least once a day. I felt a little weird about it at first, but I have been finding out a lot of people read it, even though they don't comment. It is a great way to get your art work out there!

    Oh, I forgot- Ben, are you interested in doing a show? I need new artists, and I like your work.

    Clean undies or (Ewwww!) dirty ones?

    lol, Gary has a whole community of blogging artists. Which frankly sounds a lot better than Starving Artists.

    I think he should blog. And do a giveaway of one his abstracts. And I should win.

    Cheri sent me over too. To urge Ben to take off his shirt, err... I mean to blog. But I have to ask what is that silver pipe that goes into your hat for? And I also have to ask again if Ben is single? If he is, there are a bunch of bitches here that want to fight over him. Start a blog Ben. You'll have an instant dating pool... fan base, errr... audience.
