Silhouettes of Fairy Tales

hen did I stop believing in Fairy Tales?

Damsels in Distress & Prince Charmings.

My favorite versions was a collection of mini books; four in total. Each classic fairy tale illustrated with detailed silhouettes. "Sleeping Beauty," "Snow White," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella." They dance through my mind when ever I am in a used bookstore.

Until recently, I had not pursued finding the illustrator of my beloved fairy tales. It took finding Kara Walkers nightmare like paper cuts of fairy tales illustrating racism, slavery, rape, & murder to finally search for my beloved books.

Before the Battle (Chicken Dumplin') Kara Walker

Jan Pieńkowski, Polish born British illustrator. His works include Haunted House, Meg & Mog & The Fairy Tales.

Sleeping Beauty, Jan Pieńkowski

Paper-cuts are no longer just folk art or a cameo of a child face. They are intricate breathtaking pieces that inspire.

Cinderella, Jan Pieńkowski

If this shade is down I'm begging your forgiveness on bended knee with tears streaming down my face.

In every can of Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup.

That's Oooodles and Oooodles of Nooodles.

But really?

My quest for an answer led to another question...


Q: Why do they call it chicken soup?

My Friend has an Autistic Neighbor

Not that THAT really matters.

Anyway, Autistic Neighbor is convinced that my friend's dad [Hefner] has the hots for him.

So, A.N. wrote a barely legible note. It said...

"[Hefner], no offense, I just want you as a friend, I'm looking for a girlfriend"

Ouch, That's O.K. Autistic Neighbor. I doubt [Hefner] is heartbroken.

Love without desire, or conditions, or limits—a pure and radiant glow in the heart that could make me giddy and sad and glorious all at once

LAMB: the Gospel According to Biff,
Christ's Childhood Pall (Pg.26)
Christopher Moore

It took Jesus to break my 5 Month Curse.
I haven't been able to finish a book since may.
I'm currently reading 8 err 7 books.

I think it took a simple giggle inducing page turner to get me through to the Kingdom.

Try to read Lamb with out falling into a fit of laughter. Just try it. You will FAIL.

"I've fucked a thousand women, half again as many boys, some sheep, pigs, a few chickens, and the odd turtle." -Titus

"Making someone who is seeking comfort stand out in the cold is crock of rancid yak butter." -Josh (Jesus)

It took Jesus, Biff, 8 concubines, some monks, a yeti, fowl language, prostitutes and the most wonderful creative cursing I have ever heard.

So, that's all I have to say you leprous jar of camel snot!
