Free for the Taking: Guerilla Decor!

I mentioned here a few weeks ago that I’d gotten some cool panels for free from a tansu store that was going out of business or closing a warehouse or something.  Here’s they is:

First, both sides of the painted panel with the stylin’ gold-ness:

because cranes are lucky.  oh yes they are you misinformed addlepate.  lucky, and beauteeful.  so stop making trouble.  Speaking of which - on the other side:

(and don’t miss the delightful pull-tab hardware!  - as if you need reminding...)

then, panel number two, with the cool old hinges and the keyhole that sort of looks like it’s winking at you…

and finally, to round out the quadriviad, or whatever it’s called when there’s four of them, here’s the panel I just up and found on the sidewalk, as if someone had actually thrown it away!  because people - they are crazy!  crazy with hating art, to have disposed so ignominiously of such a masterpiece!  it’s just a little thing, barely the size of a popular hardbound novel (you know the one I mean), but man oh man does it pack in the mystery and weirdness!  I’m not sure where to hang it yet, but mark my words I am going to have it up sooner than later.  Mark them well.  Use one of those china markers with the little string you pull to expose the wax.  When else are you going to get a chance?  And with that I give you: Landscape with druidic altar by mr “jones”. 

I don’t know about you but it just gets me in a sacrificin’ mood, seeing that big ol’ rock there in the wilderness.  Then again, I’ve been hankering for a sacrifice for some time now.  I guess the picture just sort of put it all together for me.  Nice, when art can do that for you, eh?

Tomorrow night we head up to the river for a few midweek days of relaxation in the blazing sun’s mercilessly blazing blazes.  Or maybe we’ll go indoors sometimes too.  anyway, I’ll be back at work on Thursday.  I like the way the week is working out, so far.  Don’t forget, while I’m away - this blog’s intended use is entertainment, not flotation.  Never use this blog in open waters or without responsible adult supervision.  This blog’s patch kit is more trouble than it’s really worth.
