I Got PAID

I thought this would be exciting news for my readers, that I got paid for something other than teaching. Well, it's not a lot of money, but I got paid a comission for a painting of some dogs for my friend Jackie. I'll just get on with the painting:

I just had to paint her three little dogs. The only catch for me is that they are so ugly...but in kind of a cute way I guess. Oh well, I only had to stare at this picture for about 10 hours:

One noteable change is that I did not paint the penis of the dog on the left. I thought that was the classy thing to do. I also changed the background to a more soothing blue color, because I really hated the yellow. I think it turned out well, and Jackie says that her mom may comission me to do a large family portrait for them. We'll see how that goes...

Stuffed Animals

Seosan can be a strange and interesting place. Sometimes walking around can lead to finding something like giant piles of garbage made out of chairs. Or about any other item you can think of. On Saturday I was walking and just looking for a nice place to sit for a while, and when I found it I also found these two adorable little dogs. These things looked just like little stuffed animals.

Hey there

Smiling for the camera

Just a few buddies hanging out

So I continued walking when it was obvious that these dogs were afraid of me. I cut down a side street in the residential area I was in, and the strangest object caught my eye. I had to break my string of Thailand posts and put this up because this was the oddest thing for me at the time.

Whats that? (oops...you can see my shadow)

"Won't anybody love me?"

This poor stuffed animal was left for dead next to a dumpster with it's back to one of the best views in the city. I'm not sure why it was thrown out, because it seemed to be in good condition and clean. My only conclusion was that some child urinated on it and it had to be thrown out.
