There is even a separate store for "Captivatin' Quotes, Mottos, and Axioms." And, of course, no shortage of "Pyratey things of beauty fer yer collection of Booty!" I am setting up a pilot store to "test the waters" and make sure things is "ship shape" and runnin' properly. [so much a Sea Captain at heart, eh...?] So far it has only a skeleton selection of items and images. This will be added to shortly, as soon as things get rolling. Wary seafarers should recognize “Skulley” and one or two other familiar images from me artistic plunderins’.

Shameless? Pirates? Really?

I checked out yer website, mate. Fine work indeed! Let me know when DMTNT is released. I'd be delighted to purchase a copy.

A road trip! That's what I more can ask for! Arrgh....I be feelin it in me bones, I am pinin' fer the warm haven o' the Keys.... *sigh....*

Avast, mateys! I be startin' up a search parrrty fer Jewels' lost marble! "...Cover me, I'm goin' in!" Ah... I was there in spirit, if not in me human form. Hell, I think I gots me a hangover from it. lol Great pics, Sir J! Ah...Pat be not quite so forlorn fer his bunny pal. Tha FLAG! We wants pitchers of tha FLAG too!

Now THAT sounds like fun! Having sailed aboard the Schooner "Wolf" meself, I can imagine what a great time ye had. She is a fine vessel, fit fer Pyrates, and her crewe is top notch. Would love to have been there this time! "Take that! Haha!"

Boys and their games....

And an "arrrrgh!" a a "*hic*!" your way, mate!

Arr! HBD, mate!

Nice work, Redd! Creepy indeed... Anxious to see more.

Aye, thank ye, Deacon. Yer a gentleman, and a pirate; probably not an upstart.

I watched this movie for the first time tonight. It was quite entertaining. Does anybody know who the ships were in the movie? Anyone we know (and possibly love)?

I see me reputation precedes me. LOL Infamous it is!!!!

Finally! Someone who enjoys walking the plank! Yer probably an upstart.

Damn! I was just in the Hot Topic here two days ago, and didn't see THAT one, or I definitely would have obtained one! I only got me a he-man tank top with a nifty skull/xbones design. Gonna show off me recently (re-)acquired buffitude, and the "streamlined" look of Nigel for summer. Besides, it has been getting bloody hot here of late. Pushin' 70! I be sweatin' me Doc Martin's off! 'Tis gettin' so's a fella can't wear black any more. Arrgh. Now, to get me that bikini, and to figger out where to wear it to show off.....

That's great, Scupper! I presume that would be 10:15 pm your time? Any idea what time it will be playin' on th' west coast? What, pray tell, is the title of the episode? I got the bucket o' popcorn all ready to go! We are becoming a famous lot, or infamous...

Good news! Yesterday we got an advance copy of an upcoming article in The Artist’s Magazine, which focuses on drawing skills. Right on the splash page is a half-page photo of yours truly, working away at my easel! The article will come out later this summer. Here is the funny part - A coincidence? On a whim I had turned on the TV while eating dinner (I hadn’t watched television in months) and was watching PBS. The author was telling a story about “Focus on yourself surrounded by the circumstances you wish to create.” I was thinking about my art career, and recalling how a few years earlier I made a list of goals and dreams. One of those dreams was “I want to be in the Artist’s Magazine.” The next morning I come in to school and my instructor puts this article in front of me. Whoa! Talk about instant results! Even funnier is the fact that I had said "I want to be in the Artist's Magazine." I had meant that I want my artwork to be featured in the magazine. But what I got was a picture of me - precisely what I had written! Be careful what you wish for; surely you will get it. "I know, and stop calling me Shirley." I just got finished with the drawing which, in the photo, was in the beginning stages. It was a real challenge, and I turned a few corners in the process of completing the drawing. Each time you push the envelope, you come up against some part of yourself. To move through and beyond takes strength and courage, and sometimes just plain patience. My instructor shook my hand yesterday, and congratulated, even complimented me on the piece. My studio mate said he was jealous, because she doesn’t give out compliments often. I think she was just relieved to see it finished. (I heard tell of a plot on the part of my colleagues to do an "intervention".) Now comes the signing and framing part. I will post a photo once I acquire one.

Hm... Doesn't ring a bell. Nope. Sorry, not at all.

Since I had me breeches made, I 'ave lost over 40 pounds...I be lookin' rather svelte and all manly-buff, but now it's almost comical how loose me breeches be. I needs to be havin' them "taken up." In the seam, you scoundrels! In the seam!

Ah yes, Redd! Yellowbeard was a great movie! "Stumble, stumble...crawl crawl..."

I'll have me a "Key West Cherry Popper!" [Malibu and cherry coke] Thanks fer settin' up the party, Merry! Happy B-Day, Jewels! "May ye live as long as ye want to, and want to as long as ye live." "To Harry Truman!" "To Bess Truman!" "To err is Truman!" "...and his all-girl orchestra."
