I wanted to make a warm and fuzzy crayola

  • I wanted to make a warm and fuzzy crayola drawing of two puppies playing tug 'o war with a tube sock. Then the owner smiling. The caption reads, "Fuck the police." If I gave

  • I wouldn't have shivved Mr. Smiley the jailhouse art instructor last week when he suggested I tap into my feminine side for the still life with charcoal pencil assignment. Now that

  • pissed the warden off something fierce. He brought me into his office for a "one on one". He yelled profanties and I tried to explain art. Stalemate. How could he be so obtuse?

  • Did he have an obtusometer? I tried to point out to him why it was art. I showed him the nipples. The whole of the bosoms. The swank posterior, a la tail. The warden didn't get it.
