Love the film clip. Very emotive. Brilliant actor.

I love your "Chat Room" too. You are so good at painting faces.

It took me a while to make the connection between "chat room", the film clip, and the link at the bottom, but I got there in the end! How slow was I last night?! (tried to post last night but blogger was having some problems)

I really like this. I love that creepy face. Peter Lorre is one of my all-time favorite actors so this was a real treat for me. I must try that rock painting. It looks so cool.

Ckw, I used to find lovely river rocks in Jersey to paint on. Can't find them here.
Oh gosh dinah, am I showing my age when I talk about actors like lorre lol! Well unless a young person is into the classic movies.
undaunted, he was brilliant, but he was so typecast in the usa I am not sure many were aware of his range of acting skills.
hiay trisna, nice to see you here :)

genxsters, I don't think I will be parting with this stone. Glad you like it and hope to see your stone one day.

Doudy, not sure about what being stumbled means but I like that and say thank you :)

From "fecal matters" to Peter Lorre, I am so glad to have found your blog. I drifted in here from a Malaysian artists blog.

Corinne, keep posting. I am indeed very grateful

Good morning! Thank you for stopping by my little corner of cyberspace. I love your art! I am secretly envious of those with artistic talent. Well, maybe not so secretly since I just said it... :p

Have a fantastic day!!

PL: "I'm not crazy, I just like to eat b---ns!" Attribution spurious.

Seriously great acting, outrageous but not over-acting, in the clip.

Maybe someone should do a kids-only free art day. Thursday, maybe?
