Musical Beans
The Hokum Scorchers sang a traditional song about different kinds beans and what they could do to you. But, I never heard of this guy before:
"In the early part of the 20th century, Vaudeville stages in both France and America thrilled to the pooting of the wondrous, the amazing, LE PETOMANE! Joseph Pujol, a man of singular talent, was born in Marseilles, France in 1857.....would fart toons, suck water up into his rectum and spray like a firehose, and even performed that old standard of stage performers everywhere: impersonations.... According to Wikipedia, his fame lives on in the fringes of society: plays have been written on him, documentaries filmed, and–ostensibly–Johnny Depp himself has mentioned that he would like to portray M’sieur Pujol on film." - read more story by Derek C.F.

Painting#8 by Amy CrehoreI don't even have some of my earliest "Little Pierrots" on my website. Here are a few from March 2004 and they only have numbers as titles. They are more sketchy than my later ones. Some I can't even show you (there are some that take place in a forest). I painted one per day (fast for me) and I sent them to an illustrator friend. It was an experiment and an exercise. They were drawn from my head using no references. It began with a painting of a cat sitting on a guitar boat in the ocean looking through binoculars at a naked girl on the beach. That is how I came up with the circular format... this was supposed to be what the cat saw. He saw a girl and a pierrot. Somehow they all ended up performing on stage.
