Flea Market Finds!
Flea Market Finds continues with buttons, buttons, buttons!
He may be missing one flicker eye, but he still manages to get his point across...
Fame!
Kara Pound wrote a 'lil article 'bout yours truly for the newest issue of "Inked". I often spend the day thinking about how wonderful I am. It's fun to have a change of pace and get to READ about how wonderful I am too!
Birthday Girl!
Happy Birthday to Kieran (Hulk Hogan) O'Connell! The littlest angel is now 12! I remember (sniffle) when she (blubber) was just a (sob) a teeny tiny baby (choke)!
Flea Market Finds!
After posting the "Treat 'em Rough" flea market find button- I feel we're all in need of a primate palate cleanser...

Buttons!
ANOTHER button in the same classic theme- because I'm a giver, not a taker! I could be stingy and dole out only one a day, but "generous" is my middle name!
Buttons!
Buttons!
What a hip 'n happenin' way for us young generation to express ourselves! Be it with an inspirational phrase or a pithy fun loving' put down or telling the world our likes (kittens) to dislikes (war), buttons say it all! They look great running up and down colorful suspenders or all over your faux tuxedo t-shirt! Parent's will just shake their heads as we take it to the free speech streets, so get out of our way Mr. and Mrs. Fuddy Duddy, 'cause we're commin' through!
Hanna Barbera Masterpieces!
Another in the series of Hanna Barbera paintings done a few years back for Warner Bros that were sadly never used! :-(
Pin-Up Parade!
The personality plus pin-up parade finally reaches it's crowning moment, but what to give the winner?
We thought, what is every girl's dream and every woman's desire?
To be "Mrs. Mitch O'Connell" of course! That why the winner will be given the prestigious honorary title of "Mrs. Mitch O'Connell" for a year!
Our second runner up is...
Hanna Barbera Masterpieces!
Another nugget 'cause you dug it! A golden oldie from the stacks in the back! A rare a Hanna Barbera for your viewing delight! A Baba Looey for youey! A... oh the hell with it!
Here's the art...
Pin-Up Parade!
Final day of the annual M.O'C Personality Plus Pin-Up Pageant! Tomorrow the 2010 winner will be announced! But for now, a round of applause for contestant # 13!
Kids!
Leo decides he's going to travel from the bathroom to the living room couch. His rules are that he must shimmy the whole way on his back and travel under every piece of furniture we own.
Don't ask me why!
Just a little slice of everyday life in the O'Connell household!
On your mark, get set, GO!

Just 2 days left for Mitch's Personality Plus Pin-Up Parade! The winner will be announced the day after tomorrow!

This kute kitten was commissioned by the lovely Elise McMahan, owner of "Hellkats L.A."
Pin-Up Parade!
Mitch's Personality Plus Pin-Up Parade continues with contestant #7! She has the look that says, "I'd rather be doing this than ANYTHING!"
BUY!
Still trying to get everybody to check out Retro- A -Go- Go and all the cool swag, especially the bling adorned with the M.O'C illustrations.
Good Lord, supermodel/artist Lisa Nielson thinks it's cool, what more proof do you need?!

Censorship!
Since I just covered up a few peek a boo's on my postings, I wanted to get your opinions. What's sexier, these hot bear beauties with their naughty nips hidden under flimsy fabric, or, do you think it would be even more "oh my" if they were as nature intended- furry and fancy free?
That Kitten has Claws!
Just a warning to my fellow female lovers, never assume that these flowers are easy pickings...
Flash Animation!
The super site of what's hip, Boing Boing, turns out is run by a fellow I shared a high school art class with! He has generously traded me a banner ad on the BB site for one of my doodles, and, even more generously, new best pal Dan Noe whipped up a 'lil flash animation banner!

Speaking of High School, I can hear all the ladies jumping up and down squealing, "Can we see a photo of you?!"
"Please, I'm very busy and don't have time for such foolishness!" I sternly respond.
"Pretty please?" (and they make that damn irresistible pouty big eyed face)
My angry expression just melts away, "Oh... all right!"

Real Tattoos!
Newest real tattoo based on a M.O'C doodle! Details are sketchy, but so far I know it's by Chamulo on Chet!
Don't forget, email pics of your M.O'C inspired tats to info@mitchoconnell.com. And, always include your mailing address for the 'lil Mitch "thank-you" prize envelope!

While In Chicago...
Speaking of women, this time specifically of the lovely variety, I recommend The Belmont Burlesque Revue hosted by Jack Midnight. Saturday nights at midnight put your rear end down at The Playground Theatre @ 3209 N. Halsted here in Chicago and prepare to be rib tickled and titillated!
FYI I hate to disagree with the medical profession, but apparently medication and liquor DO mix! A year or so back while on a heaping helping of antidepressants (divorce), I was also washing them down that particular evening with a little what have you. I passed out within a minute of the show starting and Jack (aka http://www.facebook.com/pr
PS Long off the prescriptions and have remained quite alert for every Belmont Burlesque show since!
Flea Market Finds!
Something about women with distinctly provocative eyebrows makes my heart a-flutter!
Flea Market Finds!
Make fun, but I'm pretty sure she looks much better than I would in that lingerie. I also have to give her a high five for throwin' it out there!
Flea Market Finds!
I've seen (and purchased) very many pin-ups where beautiful women are the norm. Suddenly, when your tastes run to the odd, that rare nugget of a woman with an undefinable something special becomes the most treasured possession. Here are a few of the personality plus gals from the M.O'C archives!

Child Prodigy 2!
Ladies often say to me, "Mitch, can I buy you another drink?" and "Your writing is so clever and creative, how did you learn to be so ... so ... AMAZING?!"
"That's a great question, sexy blue eyes", I respond in my whispery deep voice. "Why don't we go back to my apartment to ... discuss it?"
Needless to say, I never got around to answering her question (wink), but I will tell you!
I didn't "learn" to be so amazing, I was BORN with the ability to weave words, write humorous hyperbole and pen pithy phrases. I believe this early example of my genius will easily attest to that fact...
Flea Market Finds!
You'd think that after coming up with the creative outside the box title "Super Heroes" these comic creators would have just kicked back and spent the next 8 hours 'till quitting time back slapping each other on a job well done.
But not these bad boys!
The thinking caps were kept firmly in place, chins were stroked and a triumphant finger was raised.
What's the number one menace to society that, until now, musclebound crime fighters have yet to kick the ass of?
Child Prodigy!
Kid's Week Continues with this self portrait.
"Fancy Free" is STILL my middle name. Just ask my neighbors as they pass by the front porch!
Thus endeth my afterschool very special episode Mitch moral lesson of the day.
Now I can go back to tying tin cans to my cat's tail. Look at him run all funny! HA! HA! HA!
