Important Things




This is me sitting to attention at the butcher on 9th Avenue where they have marrow bones.


This is me at home with my bone before I have licked all the good stuff out of it.


As you know, I come from a very artistic family. We all work in different media. My Mum bashes pansies, my sister takes photos, and Dad paints stuff like animals and people. I myself am a mixed media artist. Sometimes I work in cardboard. Sometimes I collect objects trouvee on my walks.


That is mostly sticks. My stick collection lives on top of the fridge.


I work on these now and then, and you can see the elaborate dentation on it. (That is where I bit it.)


This is me choosing which stick to work on next.


You can see that artwork brings me great joy.



Love

Buster

  4. You know how to ask so politely for your order at the butcher shop. No wonder you came away with such a fine bone. I'm glad to see your art work is progressing nicely, and I'm looking forward to an invitation to your gallery exhibition.

    1. Elizabeth says: Sadly, no one wants to buy Buster's art ...... but as I always tell him it's all about process rather than product.
      He is just happy to share it with the world!

  12. "you got a seriously delicious snack! a piece of advise from a country dog, hope you had the good sense to bury the bone somewhere where the grown-ups won't find it (behind the couch). you gotta hide it well, otherwise they'll find before it ages to that gapsmashing yammy-yammy half rotten state!"

    as told to liisamarja by the dog

    ps. i'm sorry, the dog insisted on the advice. i, however, know that you wouldn't play tricks like that on mum and dad, right?
