A Ventriloquist Doll, hard to believe I don't have one already, I should, this one's almost perfect...
But it looks a little too much like Pee Wee Herman, it probably is, plastic, somehow both a little too creepy and not creepy enough for me. I'll hold off for something a little bit older and decrepit...

My lack of internet is making me a little slow ... this, for the private finder, will be worth a fair bit money. And given the size of the debris trail and inaccessibility of the terrain there will be a fair bit left....

Thrift shopping in town, I've taken to keeping my eyes on the local donated art scene, there's a lot of good stuff.
Like this:
Nelson, it's paved with these works of genius outsider art, I've got to start a collection, arrange a few shows, MOBA has got nothing on this...
I buy it. I mean, I admired it, laughed, marveled, returned to it a number of times, finally I had to buy it. WTF is going on here? Who painted this? Man or a woman? What, what, exactly, were they thinking? Is it about a dead boyfriend, or one escaped off to the local psychiatric hospital? That smile, that smile... What's the title? Nelson Gothic? Merriment over Foon? What's up with the birds? They haystacks, they are haystacks, aren't they? Or are they mountains? Green Breasts? This is a work of unconstrained genius...There's a story here for sure.
This painting, with it's unknown provenance and author, it's a fucking masterpiece, and I have to find someone who'll appreciate it as much as me...
Be careful when you're checking the mail, you know I just might end up sending it to you...
