Gosh! Strange eBay Item of the Day!

I was flipping channels and found Napoleon Dynamite on TV today… which made me start looking at Napoleon Dynamite stuff on eBay.

Napoleon Dynamite, Drawings, trisha, will you go to the dance with me?, eBay drawing

How awesome is this?

Portraits with custom sweet skills like Napoleon Dynamites.  Check it out HERE.  He’s only selling these for 3.00 each.. a super cute and original idea.  eBay Seller ca_cheney.

Here’s what the artist says about it:

My incredible drawing skills make a great gift or center piece on a sacred shrine dedicated to mythical gods. Whatever your reason for buying a portrait from me, you will be pleased that they are being offered at this huge discount! Instead of selling them for the millions they are worth I am offering the public the unique opportunity to own a piece of my art for only $3 per character. So if you want a portrait of your family of 5, just purchase a quantity of 5 portraits. Mythical beasts cost double, unless the muse moves me to throw one in for free.  If you don’t have a family picture to email me, I can draw from single photos and combine them all into one shot. I can even telepathically depict what your family looks like, or what they would look like in a another dimension where muscle building supplements flow like wine.

My feedback speaks for itself. If you bid on my stuff you are absolutely the coolest. Final piece will be emailed to you or for a large file I can upload it to one of those sites (filesend.net) that can store large files for download and I’ll email you a link to it. When you pay me via paypal you will have to tell me whether you are paying for a family of 3 plus 3 mythical beasts ($27) or what. Let me know if you want the final piece emailed or as a large file uploaded to filesend.net. If my prices are too steep email me to negotiate terms.



Thinking of Something Billowy.. Napoleon Dynamite Edition

Our family has always been obsessed with Napoleon Dynamite.  If you are not familiar with this classic movie… you are probably not missing much. 😉 I’m not sure why we love it.. but we do.  It’s funny, innocent, and bizarre.  I guess to sum it up.. It’s movie about some really strange but familiar characters.

This is Uncle Rico.  He’s having his photo taken at a “Glamour Shots” type place.

Here’s the conversation…


[Deb, while taking a glamour picture of Uncle Rico]
Deb Okay, turn you head on more of a slant… Now, make a fist. Slowly ease it up underneath your chin. This is looking really good.
Kip You can say that again.
[Uncle Rico acknowledges]
Deb Kay, hold still right there. Now, just imagine you’re weightless, in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by tiny little seahorses.
[Uncle Rico gives a gleaming look at the camera]
Deb [takes the picture] That was one that I think is gonna come out really nice.
Uncle Rico Ah, how you did it… wow… well I felt really relaxed. Thanks Deb.
[Uncle Rico puts his fist down, then swats a fly]

Here’s what the men in my family look like doing the same thing:

The Man.. whenever he thinks of relaxing his tongue comes out.

#2 is thinking about tiny seahorses and making WordPress blogs.

#4 thinking of doing cannonballs next to his sister #3.

#5 is thinking of Transformers, Spiderman or some superhero.
