Frightening!

I would like to thank the wandering internet soul that checked out all ten of my top ten visited posts last week. It is my hope you found what I have created and what or how I say what I say resonated with you and left you refreshed or inspired somehow. (Should you want to do that, they're posted on the bottom of the page or you could pick something randomly).
I'm excited that this blog has survived almost two years and appreciate that you have taken some of your valuable time and spent it here with me. You're all so swell.

My current offering is limited so far to this week's EIM. If you're not familiar with Every Inchie Monday, it's a challenge blog dedicated to one-inch art. This year all the words factor in the novel, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. This week the word is "ghastly."

At first I took pause to figure out how to describe this adjective until I started my research. WOW! Choices aplenty.


Ready?
We have (Left to right, top to bottom) Sir Graves Ghastly, a 1970s TV personality out of Detroit; Gastly, a Pokemon character that is 95 percent gas; The Ghast from The Vault of Ghastly Tales; a music artist that goes by Ghastly!; "Weeping Woman," by Pablo Picasso (what a vivid and quite unpleasant depiction of his mistress Dora Maar, in my mind, anyway); and the cartoon character Major Doctor Andedonia J. Ghastly.

But all of that pales in comparison with our choices for the next president of these United States. While the campaign has been dragging on for over two years, it has never been far from entertaining. I could get quite animated about my politics, but I prefer to leave that away from here. I give you:

Ghastly
Digital Composition of
Political Figures of 2016
Now THAT'S "ghastly."

I hope to revisit the Diva, who quite decidedly needs to take a break this week and Adele who will be posting later (I got mine in first last week, so when you go there, what do you see?!!).
I have projects aplenty and I need to get to them.
Have a brilliant day!

    1. Glad you like it, Kia! It was quite eye-opening to see the "official" photographs of our elected officials. Photoshopped to the hilt, so I can't feel bad if I took some artistic license. c
