1991 - OH! - The Clint
This was given to me in 1991, another implementation of "Clint represented as art" from the Bowen family. Aunt Beth did her collage, while Laine did this drawing. Both had some dark fantasy elements. The collage had pictures of me, and writings by me as a child, and showed my music love more (guitar, Misfits shirt). This art showed some things the collage didn't.
For one, my "famous" phrase of "Too much O!" You see, "work" is such a horrible word that I called it "the O word" back then. It was not "the W word", because that adds too many sylables to it. "W" has as many sylablles as "The O word"! So "too much O" became a frequent response to wanting to avoid work in certain situations. Tho I'm not sure why a dinosaur is saying it. But the other dinosaur is listening to music, so I guess the dinosaur is me (which I just realized, but explains the backpack).
This drawing also has Rocky Horror listed, which is something I still do to this day.
This drawing also shows my intense love of consuming Coke in mass quanities, which I soon spurned after not being allowed to donate blood, seeing a cardiologist, finding out that I have Mitral valve prolapse (which is supposedly better now, but would explain my recent fainting spells at concerts).
I'd identify the other bottles as liquor bottles, except I don't think I was drinking a lot of liquor in 1991. In 1991, I had gotten drunk like 6 times ever, but bought cigarettes. So I'm not sure what the bottles are. Nor am I sure what some of the figurines represent. But of course I love pizza! (Not popcorn, though. The paper seed coverings tend to get stuck behind the membrane that connectsmy mouth to my throat, and then I have to stick my finger back there, which is nasty to have to do!)
The knight most likely represents my knight armor (named Nutrasweet) which I still have in my living room today. And see the basketball in death's left hand? That's the only sport I ever played in a league. For *2* years. I especially hated it the 2nd year. But it's still probably my favorite athletic sport (baseball doesn't count, or I'd choose that) to play, if someone held a gun to my head and gave me no choice.
Coke cans, basketball, bottles, death, dinosaurs, drawing, knight, pizza, popcorn, scythe, sword.
