HE SHOULD BE DANCING, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!

Well, we've come to end of it all. The final post ever...  For May 2025!  What?  You thought I was ending the blog?  Come on now!  I pull this every month just about!  Y'all should see it coming by now!  Besides, I wouldn't close up shop with my biggest views season is about to start, but more on that later!  Today, it's all about the art and the music, so let's get to it, what d'ya say?  Enjoy...

Whoa!  That's one groovy cat!  Wait a tic, that ain't no cat!  It's a Bear!  A Disco Bear!  That's right, ain't no trouble "Bruin" when he's out on the dance floor!  When he ain't busy stealing picnic baskets, raiding trash cans or chasing Chet Ripley through the woods, he's strutting his stuff out at the club, looking for some honey far sweeter than any bee could make!  This ursine is out of sight!  Dance was the theme Animal Alphabets chose for Letter D, and right away, I knew I wanted to go with a disco theme.  The animal selection was a bit trickier as I didn't wanna just go with a duck as that's everybody's go-to thanks to that stupid song!  I don't exactly know why this happened, but a vision of a bear in a leisure suit just popped into my head and I started laughing hysterically at it, so I ran with it!  Lotta folks seemed to agree as it was a fairly popular post at the Bird Site and the Blue Place.  As we end this month with the penultimate edition of Animal Alphabets, we now know that Themes A, B, C and D along with Letters W, R, D and B have all been claimed!  The rest will all be revealed eventually.

That's a wrap on the month of May, and although Animal Alphabets has ended, there are easily HUNDREDS of pieces I've done for them over the past decade that haven't been posted yet, so stay TOONED in the coming years as I will get to them all at some point.  In the meantime, brace yourselves CRAZIES because next week, things get real as it's the return of everybody's favorite time of year!  That's right y'all, starting next week, the CRAZY COMIC CON COUNTDOWN returns!  So start slamming those Code Red Mountain Dews and polishing up your Cosplay armor because this year's Countdown will be bumpin'!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TAKING THE CAKE!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  We have crossed the halfway point of May and are rapidly heading into the homestretch!  The smell of BBQ permeates the air with each ticking second as the summer winds come crashing in again!  I can't focus right now with all the awesome things rapidly coming our way, so why not focus on something else pretty awesome to tie us over for a bit?  What is it you ask?  Scroll down and see!  Enjoy...

Oooooooooh...  That's one bad boxer dog!  You just can't trust those flat-faced menaces around any kind of food, let alone large pastries!  Today's art came about when Animal Alphabets picked Cake as its theme for the Letter C.  Well, I didn't have to look too far for inspiration on this one as my dog, Beau, is ALWAYS getting into literally EVERYTHING, hence the reason I chose Dog for this theme!  Although, in all fairness, Beau has yet to tackle a cake yet, but I'm sure he will eventually!  We got Theme C and Letter D off the draft board now!

Well, one more week to go in the Merry Month of May, but I'll make sure we end things on a fun note, so be sure to come back for the grand finale!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

WELL BALANCED!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  Can you believe we're approaching the halfway point of May already?  We are also less than a month away now from the San Diego County Fair, or Del Mar Fair for those of us old schoolers that just can't move on!  I can practically taste the deep fried Twinkies already!  But enough of that nonsense already.  You came here for art and I intend to deliver!  The critters are getting restless and I got other tasks to attend to so lets get to it!  Enjoy...

Talk about poise?  For being such bullheaded beasts, rams sure are coordinated!  They can make their way around steep mountain peeks and narrow ledges while always maintaining there balance, which brings me to this week's Animal Alphabets theme: B for Balance!  And the ram perfectly exemplifies that in the artwork above!  He's certainly more coordinated than the two birds slamming into each other in the background!  If you're still keeping track, that's Theme B and Letter R now off the table!

Another week down as we march towards summer but next week will be a really sweet treat for those who come back to check it out, so be sure to mark you calendars!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

UNCHAINED POTTERY...

Welcome to May CRAZIES!!! And a very merry month it usually is!  Summer is rapidly approaching while BBQ Season has already begun for most!  But here, it is art season, particularly art celebrating the great critters of our world!  So sit back, relax and scroll down for some Animals celebrating the Alphabet! Enjoy...

Sleek, smooth, extremely vicious!  Yes, as cruel as wasps can be, they are remarkable animal artists, capable of building amazing, structurally sound nests out of paper or mud.  Potter wasps in particular are incredibly skilled as their nests look just like little pots!  They are certainly far more impressive than the sloppy nests that mud daubers make!  This month marks a bittersweet entry for the CRAZYVERSE as we recognize the end of Animal Alphabets.  Quite possible the longest running art collective on social media, AA was always such a joy to take part in.  It's even sadder in that its end comes on the heels of Animaloonies ending and Pinch Punch Post seemingly going on indefinite hiatus.  I suppose all things must pass, but art will always be eternal.  For this penultimate round,  AA picked a word, in this case Artists for the letter A, and we picked an animal to go with it.  I chose a wasp because of it's natural artistic ability and decided after that each theme would get the animal best suited while also keeping tabs on which letters were used so that I wouldn't repeat any.  For those keeping score, Theme A and Letter W are now taken!

Well, that's all for this first week of May, but fear not!  More critters are coming, so be sure to come back next week and see what we got going on!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
