The boys are alright

by Patsyfox on November 23, 2009

I’ve just spent the weekend with my mother, and there’s nothing quite like 48hrs of “Are you warm enough? Are you sure? Have you got a jacket just in case?”, “Why would you go for a run now? – It might rain (sometime this decade), & you might slip over/break your leg/die”, etc to polarise me into thinking salacious thoughts, lusting after inappropriate men, and generally wanting to strip my clothes off and run naked down the street.

Which probably explains why I found myself doodling this as I sat with her watching re-runs of the funniest home video show, home & away, etc… What did Freud say about the subconscious?  Anyway, I think they would make an excellent substitute for my swiss ball, and I would definitely have abs of steel if it meant doing sit-ups while draping myself over these guys…don’t you agree Craig?

Yes – I do AR!! This is a beautiful sketch (not that all of your sketches aren’t beautiful). I am not sure what is going on in your sub-conscious, dear….but I like it!
So, do we know the boys? Or are they a figment of your lush imagination?
Either way – they are gorgeous and beautifully executed from your deft hand.
Bravo!!

OH, how I wish I knew these boys, but alas I do not… They live in my fertile imagination, which is not a bad place for them to be really as they can’t talk back.
