The Gertrude N. Heathcliff Galleries are pleased to announce the debut of Picks, an installation by multi-media sculptor Zamboni Phoenix Ascending (née Chad Biffman). The piece consists of hundreds of holes representing legendary guitar picks that the artist has collected over the years in his imagination.
Via Kylir Horton.
Obviously influenced by Pickasso.
AAAAAAHHHH!
*HUZZAH for 260!!*
*shakes tambourine while wearing either a fez or a beret*
You could keep swapping between them and call it “installation art” (or something).
Well, if she’s playing a tambourine while swapping hats, it would of course be “performance art.”
Hey, Fird, I actually own an authentic fez! Want to borrow it?
ONLY If you aren’t using it to increase your Street Cred, on the corner !!!
(gotta ask: wha color you got?)
It’s dark red. An old friend brought it back from Egypt, along with a box full of cool clothes.
*swoons exotically and melodramatically*

Fezzes are cool.

*clutches chest in @gony* “Ooooooh it GOT me……”
*stumbles away melodramatically*
When I first saw this, I could swear it was a bunch of guitar-pick shaped puzzle pieces!
But do I have to get stoned to really appreciate it?
No, Theresa. However I’ll bet you will appreciate THIS:
The Japanese Art of Stone Appreciation: Suiseki and its Use with Bonsai (Tuttle Classics)
Reminds me of the Hendrix song ‘Scuse me While I Nom This Ear
Excellent.
no no no peeps it is all about this Day in the Life of the Beatles (but I like the whole guitar pick thang and the tabby kitteh is very very cuteness-oriented):

I bet that cat thinks that we can’t see him. He’s hiding.
What cat?
heh heh.
sk’mom is OWNED by ALL kitties.

(except for those weird hairless sphynxy ones. I know I shouldn’t judge a cat
based on its cover, ….or some such saying…)
I actually think those hairless cats are beautiful, but I’ve never met one.
Don’t worry skippymom. I’m not entirely prejudiced. I still like *YOU*
(Izzn’t that utterly gracious & charming???
)
Signed,
Dirt Clod
But–am I still your hero???
UV KORSE!!!
Don’t you indulge at least elebenty fourteen furry people??
*shakes “My Hero” pompoms*
Supposedly, when you stroke a Sphinx, it feels like a sun-warmed peach. only purryer.
Skippymom, I’ve met a few. They are like the talk show hosts of cats.
For about 15 frightening seconds I thought this was a legit announcement
It is a widely held QteView that anything by NOMTOM is legitimate. If it isn’t, it should be.
Well, it was on the Internet. So it must be true. Duh! (Off to go share that lottery winner’s status update so he can give me a million dollars, as promised.)
I think that speaks more about modern art than NOMTOM’s skills of persuasion.
what kitteh doesn’t love a laundry basket? It’s almost as good as a cardboard box…
I’m not the only one that thinks it’s an upended laundry basket?
NOMTOM + the word Zamboni = SWOON
AWW
I so want to cuddle Picks 
I have the exact same laundry basket, but mine has laundry in it
That is so sad.
By the way, Gigi, I forgot to tell you: I recently saw a picture of you on something you posted, and I realized that I have always imagined you as having red hair!
My hair was originally golden red but it has been many colors in my life, at the moment it’s supposed to be dark ash blonde but the red keeps trying to peek thru.
kittehs like baskets with laundry in them, too. Clean, dirty, it doesn’t matter.
“Zamboni Phoenix Ascending (née Chad Biffman)” — HAHAHA!! NTMTOM, you are a quirky genius.
Erm, it is Dalai Lama or Salvador Dali – NOT Dali Lama. I think here you meant the first one. Hovertext correction please?
Ack-chew-lally, given that it’s a NTMTOM post, he probably DID mean “Dali” not “Dalai”
Maybe he meant the Dali Llama
It’s okay. Cats can’t spell very well.
Like the Red Skelton reference!
OMG someone watched Red Skelton (gertrude & heathcliffe) and Laugh-In Ferd Berfle of Farkle family fame! I love you all and I love this site!
OMG I love you too b’c you knew Laugh-In Fird Birfle of Farkle family fame!!!
