An afternoon with Captain Flintheart

Captain Flintheart loves his music, movies, Star Wars, anything AIDs related, and of course his primary colors. What?

I spent some time during our hiatus hanging out with some of the Captain’s. We talked about life, the web site, sniffed a whole lot of paint, and took up some of each others hobbies. (Side note: the reason Captain Warbucks doesn’t post much any more because we were all shocked to learn that gay is his side hobby.)

On a blustery winter morning, I went over to Flintheart’s and he asked if I wanted to paint with him. Well, sure I said because painting is pretty cool. I’ve always had an appreciation for Bob Ross (you know, the guy on PBS with the huge fro), so I was down.

When we got his “studio” I was surprised to find the man had literally thousands of coloring books compiled and filed around the room based on the prevalence of the books primary colors. I was thrown, but what the fuck. The paint was kicking in so I went to work.

Here’s the finished product. He was proud that he stayed within the lines so we were able to eat some cookies after this project was completed.

This whole experience explained a lot about our friend Captain Flintheart. I’m glad I walked a day in his shoes and learned of his passion for “painting.”

Celebrities That Look Like Other Celebrities: Part 7

This one might be my favorite yet.

frenchcera Celebrities That Look Like Other Celebrities: Part 7

A few winters ago I was wandering the halls of the Louvre in France studying fine art when I stumbled upon something magnificent. No it wasn’t the Mona Lisa or the Venus De Milo it was a painting that strongly resembled actor, Michael Cera.

Badass Art (That You Can Afford)

TCM indulges in the finer things that this life has to offer. Normally, this would constitute both the lingerie football league and the right for town’s to publicly humiliate a criminal. Today though, we’re here to talk about art.

Badass art.

Chicago artist, Bill Furlong can fucking paint:

Hunter Badass Art (That You Can Afford)
Hunter S. Thompson

jimi hendrix1 Badass Art (That You Can Afford)
Jimi Hendrix

(both from Dr. Ted Lanceford’s private collection)

Better yet, he will customize paintings for you. Anything your crooked heart desires…seriously. The best part is they are incredibly affordable. Haven’t had enough of TCM’s rampant Beatles fanaticism yet? Bring Mr. McCartney and Mr. Harrison to your house for further worship.

You can check out his custom pieces and some of his other incredible paintings here.  I’ve seen some of Bill’s work in person and trust me when I say these pictures don’t do it justice.
