PicassoCats are surreal . . .
Back in September I wrote this post which invited people to create their own self portraits using Mr Picassohead. I then started The Picassohead Gallery to display our work, but the response wasn’t what I had hoped for.
So here is another chance to get all artsy and creative-like. To get your stuff put in the gallery just send the pic to me by email and I’ll take care of the rest.

Check it out … Mr Picassohead.
A couple of years ago a friend sent me a link to this rather fun site and, this being a rather lazy Sunday, I discovered it once again and started playing around.
So this is az Picassohead with new short haircut, as well as one eye wide open and the other dreaming … and nose somewhat bent out of shape, which is usually my fault for being overly sensitive (click thumbnail for larger image).
And here is one of Nog – thinking about abstract stuff, as usual …
Also a couple of Picasso Cats you might recognise.
If you make one of your own it would be great if you left a link to it here.

You Are Sauvignon Blanc |
Engaging and energetic, you have a lot to offer the world – most of it they’ve never seen anywhere else! You are the type of person who carves your own path in life… and you invite everyone else to come along. The only thing predictable about you is that you could have anything up your sleeve. You’re all about sampling all of life’s experiences. Both the savory and unsavory ones. Deep down you are: Laid back and young at heart Your partying style: Anything goes… seriously! |
Swiped from SG V who usually swipes quizzes from me (that are usually swiped from somewhere else), but who didn’t happen to like yesterday’s ‘How Creative Are You?’ quiz so he found this one instead, which I have to say I also like better … but I still think those coloured pencils are rather cute, don’t you?
And yes, this is soooooo me! 🙂

We saw Norberto again this evening.
Some of you may recall when our friend Craig (aka zoomer on h2g2) was here visiting us last July we stumbled upon a little workshop still open around midnight as we were on our way home from having tapas … you can read the full story over here on the ~serigraph serendipity~ post. Anyhoo, Craig bought a lovely serigraph there for his daughter and had asked us to go back and take some photos of the workshop as it had been such a magical moment for him, but somehow it just didn’t happen – until tonight.
In fact, this was quite a serendipitous kind of day. For some reason nice and pleasant things just kept happening to both Nog and me all day long and then this evening we decided to go for a walk and a tapa (which turned into a whole meal! photos to follow) and then while wandering home I thought of Norberto as we were near his workshop and said to Nog that we should go and see if he was there. And he was!
He’s made a few changes to the workshop, including a very nice showcase window outside and a fabulous metal engraved Giraldillo that is also on the wall outside the shop. I told him it was a shame about the meterbox next to it (kind of spoiling the effect) and he said he had a metal plate that he was planning to put over it, but in the meantime he posed next to his creation using his head to cover up the meter thingy (see the pic above). 🙂
And so – finally – here are the photos we promised you, Craig. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge them …
You can see all the photos in my Norberto album.
