Sesame Street Live

Unless you work for the theater group Sesame Street Live or have worked at a concert hall where they have performed you will never see this side of it, backstage. The Big Bird costume is the most complicated one that they have, so when it is not in use they hang him. Hanging it also makes it easier for dancer to get it on and off as it just has to be lowered or raised. Between Big Bird scenes in the show you will often see the top part of the costume hanging like this, but with the addition of a sweaty hyperventilating dancer sitting underneath it wearing Big Bird pants.

Dumbass


Decided to do some quick lithos of my LCC days, just because I saw and did things there that is unlikely to experience anywhere else. This one is setting up the portable basketball floor, which was one of the most onerous tasks we had. The panels weigh around 200 pounds each.

Cheese

Alright just bought some sharp cheddar from "Wisconsin", and its as crappy as the rest of the cheddar here, think tofu gone bad. So either they are lying, or they're buying from a lousy dairy. Just wanted to say that for the sake of those non Wisconsin people out there, the WI cheese in these out of state stores cannot even be said to be a paltry imitation of the sublime wonder that is a WI sharp cheddar.

Alright this is my first oil painting, a little bit got shaved off the sides as it was a tad bit wider than the scanner.
