How chic is your coffee mug?
December 11, 2009 |
Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass. ~ Fran Lebovitz.
I hate talented people. They make me look bad. So I decided to do something about it. Yeah, and it’s a big freaking deal.
As a kid, I really resented those classmates of mine who could draw, paint, sing, dance, sew or sculpt. I consoled myself by recognising that what really matters is the goodness of one’s heart. This week, I went a step further. On behalf of talentless folk around the world, I took my Photoshop tool brush and went mavericky on their smug, creative asses.
I designed a couple of logos and then got them transferred onto coffee mugs at the local T-shirts plus.
This one’s for Jack - the guy who cuts Jai’s hair.
Remember the sparring elk at Grand Teton? I used them to make this for our taekwondo buddies.
Now, not only do I have the most outrageously stupendously dazzlingly wonderful heart, I am also officially an “artist”. Eat that, Pablo.
(Feel free to download these pics and make your own coffee mugs.)

coffee mug, gifts, MUSINGS, PHOTOGRAPHY
hehe
hurray for Bee the artist!
not to mention original…
cute mugs. i have one with my name on it. so chic.
I had one given by my sisters during a phase when I was ALWAYS hungry and was putting on weight- ( no, not pregnancy at 13 :D) And my mom didn’t say a thing! So.
It said something like this!
Mary had a little lamb,
The lamb had some cheese
And some peas…..
And that is why Mary’s lamb was so fat, but cute!
I just hated it when they gave me this. But it was an eyeopener
Neat! and a great gift for Christmas
Artist, you certainly are! Look at all the pics you’ve taken!
Nice mugs, Bee! I love the second one.
I am sure jai hairdresser will love this.
Oh yes i know what you mean most of my friends were talented in something and i was never good in anything
But then now getting older i think we all are talented in something, just not the say way.
Way cool and very thoughtful of you to make personalized gifts.
You and without talent? too modest…
So generous! These pics are really nice and I like the second one for T-Shirt. Not that I don’t wear T-shirts and have n number of mugs in my shelf aleady, I believe your are a talented sweet heart!
