The Human Canvas - A Stamp on the Tail End of Autism Awareness Month

 

Yes.

That's what you saw.

 

 

I had gone to my third

autism festival to draw puzzle pieces

on people. Presented once again by The Autism

Society Inland Empire. The folks pictured below

REALLY made me think of "a girls night out"

(besides the fact that it was

the middle of the day).

 

 

It was a kind of

"Hey! Let's get tattoos!" kinda thing.

This... inspired the Autism Tramp-Stamp.

Of COURSE I wouldn't dare do this in

the middle of the festival...

BUTT...

 

I'm reminded of a tail.

 

The end of which you already know.

 

Fanny, this is really a simple image.

 

Rearing a simple flow.

 

A crack need not be made...

 

 

We weren't behind.

 

 

She WASN'T a bum. 

 

Okay.

Enough of that.  

I'm not naming her,

but she's a friend of a friend that

I had met just that night,

about 10 minutes

earlier. 

 

 

 People sometimes ask

why I might have a camera

and 40 sharpies on me... And I had

just done a Nightmare Before Christmas

piece on a buddy...

 

So maybe I seemed kinda legit. 

 

We were talking about

the recent pieces I'd done, and realizing it

was nearing the, um, end of April, it would

be a great pun - sort of - to have this

realized on someone as

the last Autism piece.

 

 

She appreciated the joke,

and the timing, and was up for it.

This, I think, was pretty cool,

as we HAD just met.

 

 

It was really very

simple and very quick,

and done in the middle of a crowded bar.

Everything remained covered, and

everyone remained respectful.

  

 

Thank you Lil' Dave,

for serving as photographer,

and thank you, new, un-named friend,

for being comfortable enough to do this.
