Watercolor Penis

Five of the ten pieces in my portfolio can be anything I choose. I feel like this is a mistake on the architecture department's part. People are going to submit weird and altogether ugly things like oil paintings of their dogs and watercolors of their penises. This is also a disadvantage on my part because I am one of those people that, if given no direction, will wander aimlessly forever. So that is what I'm doing.

I've decided that for one or two of these pieces, I'm going to do a Chinese watercolor. I haven't really done one in about five years but in my heyday, I was pretty famous for my shrimp paintings (lolz right?). Anyway, in order to remember how to do any of this, I have to pay my old art teacher a visit. And to do that, I have to return to Chinese school.


Figure 1: I did not draw this.

Upon hearing that I will be making a cameo appearance at the Chinese community's gossip mecca, mommy is sent into a frenzy.
"If somebody asks, lie and pretend you are happy."
"K"
And when I get there, mommy furiously tries to set me up with every singe Chinese girl. But that is a story for another time.

What if you had said "But mommy I am happy!", would she had believed you?

what are you going to school for again?

You should TOTALLY do that--submit weird ugly things!

God I hated Chinese school--I learned up to grade 3 (out of 12) and stopped because all I knew how to write was "me" and "one".

Anyways, at least you know how to draw--my drawing ability goes to the extent of stick man art, and even that's difficult for me. I always end up missing a leg or something (the sad part is I'm being completely serious).

Those are very nice drawings that you did not draw.

If you do a watercolor of your penis, make sure you also give them a magnifying glass.

mommy trying to set you up with every single chinese girl? hmm... what if you said something like "thanks to you pressuring me to date every single asian girl out there, i'm gay."

anonymous said: "If you do a watercolor of your penis, make sure you also give them a magnifying glass." lol wtf? are you so insecure about your own manhood that you have to insult others? oh and btw, not all asians are "small".

Yesterday's (1/12) Washington Post Express had a quote from a blogger on its "Blog Log" regarding an Obama sighting at a local restaurant--the blogger was identified as "DCist" and I thought it was you at first, but then I realized that the Post isn't likely to quote from a blog whose posts have headings like "Watercolor Penis".

I know it is off topic of the post,

Pushing Daisies is being cancelled after this season.

What a terrible tragedy.
