Thinking Buddha, No Thinking Buddha

I haven't painted in awhile, or posted here! I made this yesterday for IWOW set.  Theme is "opposites".  Made me laugh.

The Eraser And The Scotch Tape Dispenser

Once upon a time the artist made up some rules.  She said take 2 things and relate them in some way.  And then change the way they relate.  And this is what happened when she changed the way the 2 things related.

Once upon a time there was an eraser and a tape dispenser.

They decided to relate.  The eraser wanted to know what it
was capable of.   So it began erasing.

Continuing to be itself, it kept going.
This was fun(for the eraser).

and going...

Until there was nothing left of the tape dispenser,
and the eraser was all alone with nothing to do and no one to
play with.  "But I was just being myself!" said the eraser.
"True to my nature".  True to his nature the eraser
went through the world erasing.

and started erasing the paper.

And then the story changed.
 And miraculously the tape dispenser came back to life
and proceeded to be TRUE to his nature!

"I can't breathe", said the eraser.
"I'm just using my gifts" exclaimed the tape dispenser.

The story changed again... The tape dispenser realized it
didn't like its color so the eraser helped him by erasing
the color.  He was allowing tape dispenser to become
a whole new color.  Eraser realized he needed some
grounding, so tape dispenser put its tape to good
use by supporting eraser.  And all gifts were used
for the benefit of all concerned.
The End.

Continuing with the theme of 'beginning'....

Somewhere Along The Way

We started the prompts again.  This week is 'beginning'.  
I made up this  storytelling game...

I can tell a story of my life or parts of my life.  I can embellish, leave parts out,  hate it, love it, repeat parts, be disappointed, angry, bored, joyful, curious.  Kind of amazing I can fill in the story of my day, my life  with any thoughts, feelings, words I want. 

And I can start again.  Tell it differently.

The Blank Page(with text)

It's been a month! since I posted anything. At least a month since I focused on my own art.  Been busy with learning editing at CTSB.  I made this story in powerpoint a while ago, but now that I understand more technology I have added audio and posted to youtube.  I love knowing which 'buttons to push' so I can share some of these powerpoint presentations.
