what an awesome thread
🙂
it's the kind of thread that makes me smile the kind of smile that the
flame-thread-kiddies can't wipe off my face with a month of sunday's
worth of nonsense
i'd also like to know if that T-shirt is available anywhere
in the meantime, i've resorted to including the pic of Harper wearing
that T-shirt in my revolving desktop backround
it's kinda fun to close a window of work and have a Harper-smile chase
u off to the coffee machine
😉
gracious?
in the same way that the kennedy's are (a lil'😉 gun-shy
when i was trying to find an arcane Charles Addams cartoon, Harper
offered to
'covertly photograph' (http://tinyurl.com/683ce) the copy in his
university library for me
unibrier got hold of a copy of the cartoon for me before Harper had to
don his long, black raincoat, but the mental image of Mr Sexy-Unicycle
sneaking around in a library to take a pic of a cartoon so some total
stranger on the other side of the world can get a tattoo finished still
tickles me
🙂
greg's final comment reminds me of a tattoo artist i interviewed many
years ago
he works in Johannesburg, but locks up and heads for any warzone he can
reliably get to
he's done extensive tattooing on members of the French Foreign Legion
and i figured that anyone who can do that, and live to tell the tale,
must be a pretty decent tattoo artist
anyway, he's Swiss-French by birth and has a very faded tattoo of the
outline of Africa on his right bicep
all the way down the east coast, there are a line of dots running at
irregular intervals all the way down to cape town
i asked him about this and he said that when he turned 19, he felt like
a bit of an adventure so he left his parents' home in Switzerland and
walked to Cape Town
the dots are cities and towns where he stopped and stayed for a while
when i remarked that he's lived a fascinating life (a normal reaction
under the circumstances)
he quickly replied: "I'm not done yet."
