hmm I think you should do a series the next should be Forrest Barbie, City Barbie, Rural Barbie , (gasp!) Suberban Barbie, Urban Barbie, ect ect ect but what do I know, like it the blue eyes make it look glazed over, did you find this on the Beach? is it a painting??

thanks! this is a painting i did from a photo someone sent me of a Barbie head that had washed up on the beach in Lynn, MA.

that\'s not a bad idea - if i can find them - part of what i love about this one is it just happened to wash up.  if you spot one somewhere - feel free to send it to me and i\'ll be happy to play with it!

Did anyone see the movie Summer School?
Do you remember Bob? The dogs toy doll head that got washed out to sea and the dog was miserable, just sat at the sea side waiting for Bob to come back. Mark Harmons character even went so far as to cut the head of another doll just to try and ease his dogs loneliness, but it didn\'t work, it wasn\'t Bob.
Well low and behold Bob washed back up to shore in the end and the dog was very happy. Just makes me wonder if there is a dog somewhere waiting for Bob to come back when I look at this painting.                      Nice work Gammy! I love it!

thank you!

nope, i never saw it but i appreciate the sentiment - although i think this poor creature is sitting on my friend\'s shelf, the dog would be waiting a lifetime for it\'s return.  that would be sad.  i prefer to think she blew off a landfill into the sea and washed up to be immortalized.

I was just thinking, A buddy of mine way back when did a series of Cartoons, called Bear on the Beach, Bear in the Woods, Bear in the City . This was a take off on the word Bare just replacing it with the word Bear, it produced alot of laughs but also alot of confusion which was fun, Sadly No I don\'t have access to Barbie heads, but if I did I would load some up pack\'em with Ghostfarts and send them to you, Yes. The Movie sounds good .

well keep your eyes peeled - a jpg will do, no need to incur shipping costs!

your \'toon sounds cool - any images posted anywhere?

[Chris DiCicco]

this was before internet,it was drawn in a mental hospital/ school ... I doubt these things still exist, the buddy in question come to think of it used to wear this full back brase then some time after I left the MH/S he had surgery and didn\'t have a hunched back anymore, last I saw him I almost didn\'t reconize him he so bloody tall.

the wonders of medicine never cease to amaze me.  too bad about the \'toons - he could have them scanned and turned \'em into something underground.
