Adjust tail movement to only the 3 positions in the head area. Delete the 2 from the side of the body. Think quicker tail movement...Grrr...
I still don't like it, but I have to force myself to stop. For now.

Thanks. I mean it, and will try it, but couldn't you have posted this tomorrow? I just convinced myself to let go of it.
Keep Paintin OC, Keep Paintin... (tomorrow)Thanks. I mean it, and will try it, but couldn't you have posted this tomorrow? I just convinced myself to let go of it.

I think it's great and I'd just leave it alone. As Charlie constantly tells me......."just let it go!"
I think I may scrap that one. I was trying to use this image, since I already have it, but I don't think it's quite suited for jazz paws.
Stop painting the flamingo.
Let me spell it out for you. I am a conceptual artist. The operative word is conceptual, something I frequently forget. Technically, all I really need to do is express the concept clearly, but I get completely sucked in by details no one notices unless I point them out (except people who are familiar with my work and are amused by how crazed I get). Case in point...actually this was the point I started telling myself to Stop Painting The Flamingo, since in the real world the flamingo is the size of a grain of rice and hardly anyone remembers it anyway.
I was working on a piece for a show that was based on Our Lady of Guadalupe. When you study icons, it becomes apparent that everything is symbolic - down to the size of the folds in fabric. Our Lady of Guadalupe is always dressed the same (unless the artist doesn't catch the symbolism) and after hours of trying to figure it out, I discovered that one of her miracles is her outfit. It is next to impossible to drape fabric the way she's wearing it. Trust me. I spent an afternoon at a fabric store trying to find something that could possibly wrap that way. I was making myself crazy and I had other things I needed to do. Then I had a DUH moment. No one was going to look at how the fabric draped, the concept was all that mattered and it was a silly, fun piece anyway. I suddenly thought of the flamingo (and another obsessive incident almost as bad) and finally said screw it! The color was right and I made my point. I filmed it, then packed it for the show. Unfortunately, the lighting was weird when I filmed it and although the cape is painted with gold it only shows up on one side. The other side is painted too! I swear! The rosary she is holding is correctly strung as well.

My first pack of smokes cost me 38 cents way back in 19 and 73. Newports. I believe that was not only my first pack of menthol but also my last.
Thank you. It's just frame after frame after frame. The Happy Dancing Ocelot isn't completely mine. There is a dancing cat gif floating around and I borrowed parts of it's body.

That's when I started smoking, but I didn't buy cigarettes. I ripped off mom. She was very trendy...
My first cig:
Is it just me or does this look like a Blu commercial?

That's the same year I bought my first pack of smokes. My father smoked "Cools" also menthol, so it's all I knew and was what I bought from a vending machine. I was with my parents in Williamsburg, VA and we were at a restaurant. The cigarette vending machine was outside the men's room and I was thrilled to find it there in a dark and completely out of view spot. In went my coins ($.35 if memory serves), the pack fell down, but no matches did. I didn't know what I was going to do, so I went outside, opened that pack up, pulled one out and an elderly gentleman was nearby smoking. I asked him if he could spare a match and he gave me the entire pack. I felt so grown-up. I took to smoking like a duck to water. I suppose my lungs were already conditioned as my father was a 3 pack a day smoker, so growing up, I inhaled a lot of 2nd hand smoke. I lit that cigarette, took a drag, inhaled, didn't cough and truly enjoyed it. I'm truly sorry I took to it so easily and even more sorry for all the years of abuse I heaped on my self. No one in my family ever knew I smoked. I was smart enough to know the negatives, yet was powerless to tobacco. I hid it very well. Always had cologne with me and gum. And if I was with family, I'd go for a walk, smoke and douse myself with cologne and chew some gum, but when I came back inside, I'd go to the bathroom and wash my face and hands to get the smell off of me. I was very talented at that. Yes I was.
I think there's another one with a guy walking on the beach, à la Stephen Dorff.
Back to kids smoking. I had no peer pressure or advertising influence. I had no interest in being "cool." Curiosity and parental availability led to my first cigarette, but it was love at first puff. The Ocelot was a very tightly wound cub and whatever is in cigarettes calmed me down and helped me focus. Something vaping hasn't done (I've even tried WTA). It's fine, I haven't had a cigarette (or wanted one) in 3 years...but there is most definitely some brain candy in tobacco cigarettes that is not in e-liquid.
Have more sex. Does the same thing.
And I agree, there is something in a cigarette that pushes levers that e-liquid does not. Can't quite describe it.

There's all sorts of stuff...
It's amusing how they emphasize that no additional nicotine is added, but breeze by the chemicals.
ETA: WTH is a "leaf dressing?"

Living in North Carolina I have come to know many natives who worked tobacco fields...mostly bright leaf. I'd ask if they would roll their own cigs with what they harvested. They'd all laugh saying it was the most God awful tasting thing you could ever imagine. So then, how did someone figure out if you do all the things in that video you could convert something as awful as raw tobacco into something so addictive?
