    Wait... they Serve FOOD in New Orleans?.
    Well, we pretty just eat butter mixed with other things (like flour, yielding the omnipresent bread/breading) ~_~ And then, of course, we butter the bread.

    On occasion, we eat breaded items that were first marinated in iced tea (yes, really!) prior to being breaded, and then fried up in more butter/grease. That's how they make the legendarily-good chicken at Willie Mae's Scotch House. There's a reason that 90% of the patrons there at any given time are eating it. Don't believe me? Check Food Channel or pretty much any food blog. The place is basically a food mecca within the food mecca that is New Orleans

    We believe in goooooood eatin' ^_^

      HAH! Oh lord, I'm in art college right now and I guarantee I have variations of this to look forward to XD But those are some weird scenarios you've been in, especially that old guy. Seriously, what the hell?

      Also, do you have any links to your work? I'd love to see it. ^^

        Welcome aboard and thanks for sharing!

        I did have one question - are planes something you draw or is it a reference to something else and I'm too slow to figure it out?

        I make collages depicting catastrophic events for my artwork using various images drawn from a ton of different sources. I could go on for hours about it, but basically it's all about dissemination of media and the changing perceptions of reality in the modern world.

        So yeah. I was standing in my room with 24 collages of plane crashes... hence "the girl with the planes."

        I'm sure you already helped yourself to some of the coffee/tea. And cookies. And brain bleach. And booze. And more brain bleach.



        Quick question here (to all, really): does anyone think something like this can actually make sense in some way?

        I mean, if she had tried to bargain for something that vaguely could somehow make sense in a way, let's say 225, I could kinda fathom her thought (and I use the word veeeeeeery loosely) process. Not saying that it is nice or that Marlowe should have accepted it, but at least it would kinda make sense. But... a ramdom price like that?

        I mean... "Oh, shiny, new Mercedes!" "£50,000 Sir." "I'm giving you 50p, deal?"

        It's because I'm an artist, and what I make looks really quick and easy (although I did explain to several whiners that it takes me easily a week to make the larger pieces.) And art's not a real job, right, so surely I don't REALLY expect to get paid REAL money for it? I mean, after all, it's just pieces of paper and cardboard stuck together!

          These are some of the pictures I took of my work at/leading up to the final show... I have a website too, so if anyone wants to see that then PM me





          (Sorry if this is too many pictures, I'm still not really sure of "The Rules" on here... so I'm kind of going by what I did on Gaia etc.)

            Cool pics ^_^ I really like the one with the forest (valley?) at the bottom.

            When in doubt, PM Rapscallion and/or a mod or two (people with names listed in bold at the bottom on the main forum page). I haven't seen them take issue with pics unless a post is literally just an image, the image is NSFW, or they're really wide (I think the board has a WIMG tag to deal with the latter...?)

            edit: yup. http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...ad.php?t=68897

              Yes. In a "dregs of humanity" kind of sense. She wasn't bargaining, she was demanding.

              "Overwhelm them with the force of your personality and attitude and the peons will give way for their betters"

              Often used with artists and other creators because of the lingering idea that it's not "real work" or that it's "just a hobby" and thus the people who created it don't really know how much their work is really worth, so if you bully and intimidate and act like you know what you're doing, then they'll cave and be happy to give it to you for a pittance.

                If it makes you (or the OP) feel any better, you wont' find that sort of attitude on here much at all. People justifiably complaining about it? Sure? But the attitude? Not so much

                  I quite liked that one, too. And the Grand Canyon (?) one.

                    Yup, it's the Grand Canyon That and the forest one you guys also liked were very popular, and of course some guy tried to offer me less than 5% of the price for it as if he was doing me a favour, even though I had easily half a dozen serious offers within the first two hours Heck, even my own mother paid full whack (at her own insistence) and she spent three weeks on bedrest in hospital trying to make foetal me grow followed by several hours giving birth, followed by eighteen years of trying to stop me killing myself through one of my several million different feats of stupidity/recklessness... I met you five minutes ago and you've done precisely nothing to warm me to you, so why do you think you're getting one

                    Incidentally, I consider the forest valley one (which is actually meant to depict the forests around Katyn in Russia) to be one of, if not the best thing that I have ever made.)

                      SC: Then we have a problem.
                      Me: Ma'am, that may be true, but the difference between us is that my problem will go away when you do.
                      Warn us before you pull something like that. Dr. Pepper burns like hell coming out the nose.

                      Good zinger though. Wish we all could get away with remarks like that.

                      You know...I can understand the mentality behind a lot of rants...but blaming Obama for 9/11 just causes my head to BSOD.

                      SC1: I can't believe you're charging for this! It's just pieces of cardboard stuck together!
                      Me: And I can't believe you paid actual money for that toupee, Sir, so I guess we both learned something today.
                      God Damnit! What did I say about warning us! What did I do with the paper towels mumblegrumblerassafrassin...

                      That line however was epic pwnage.

                            Nope. I have a truly enormous collection of travel brochures, print books, magazines, books of painting prints, comics, postcards, photographs, etc etc... plus my own paintings/drawings... and I go through them for hours assembling something that is not only factually accurate but in proportion.

I had actual bruises and blisters on my fingers from the force used. Not to mention the number of times I wound up in the ER after slicing my hand (by the end... they remembered me ))

                              I have one of these, but I believe they also make a teeny tiny band saw.

                              ETA - They also have a router table, which would probably be perfect.
