The Strange Surreal Artistic Visions of M.P.C.!

This beautiful 1946 hand-painted epic, barely held together fragile binder of 12 by 12” browned paper, is a lovely mystery.
It seems like a fun Mickey Rooney-like teen fiction story with a strange dash of the surreal dream visions of Henry Darger. Who are the cat people, why are the dog kids, and is that a horse person? And what’s up with The Lone Ranger?! Artist “M.P.C.” is fantastic, and as a fellow illustrator, I think I’ve swiped some of the same pin-up reference she used (I’m going with a female artist- the horses were the giveaway). It has it all, wrapped in a head-scratching David Lynch world of the charmingly strange.
I only wish I could get a peek of what Miss M.P.C. came up with next!

Cowboy Pickle! A WTF Fever Dream or Beloved Vegas Entertainer?

Cowboy Pickle. That says it all.
Well at least it's all I have to say, because after picking up this stack of promotional photographs, my research into who is this distinctively eyebrowed entertainer and his larger than life day-glow, feathered and glittered friends, yielded zip.
All I know is, I want to go there.
God Bless folks that go all out to put on a show, and I'm 100% sure that includes The Rinky Dinks, The Pickle Sisters, The Singing Birds, Tomio and Cowboy Pickle!

Who Says Romance is Dead? Not the Redecorated M.O'C Master Bedroom!

Home redecorating continues with the Master Bedroom! 

First I went to town painting the walls and ceiling in decadent gold and glittered black. Then added wall to wall burgundy shag carpeting.  Soon, God blessed me by leading me to a plush covered, mirrored round bed!  The rest was easy!  I just gathered up all my nude 60s and 70s velvet paintings and statues (yes, those are items I always have on hand), arranged and hung my most plush and tacky lamps and installed the world’s largest sputnik chandelier. 

Now I just need to become the publisher of Playboy magazine.

Bathroom Remodeling ...Vegas Style!

I have a vision, and I'm slowly working my way through the M.O'C Manor bringing it to life!
Today's installment, the basement bathroom.
Thanks to many decks of nudie playing cards and a gallon or two of Mod Podge,
dreams DO come TRUE!
