[tinkbutt]

ok I need a little more explanation on this pic!!??

[dpuck1998]

I'll taking a stab based on the title, but the idea is that a small child dropped the toy from above and is telling daddy. The artist is pulling forth our deep feelings of dropping or losing something we hold dear and the emotions as both a parent and child based on that feeling.

Man I'm deep...:rotfl2:

[LMO429]

I dont know what to think about this? :confused3

[tinkbutt]

see and I was thinkin somethin completely different but Dpuck your interpretation sounds like it is right on target!

[DebºoºS]

too funny:rotfl:Jump , jump, jump!


I like the way they placed it so the people are looking around and over it. Great idea:thumbsup2

[NDM#1]

Huh? This is lost on me.:confused3 Are we looking at a picture or a picture of a picture? Where is this taken? What event was taking place to draw all the people? Why? Why? Why? Is there any explanation?

Okay, does it look to anyone else like it was dropped in a toilet? It brings back SOOO many memories of my kids dropping their toys in the toilet, and having Mommy fish them out. Which begs the question....why is it called "Daddy, Daddy"?

Pinocchio just couldn't take it anymore.:rotfl2:

[MenashaCorp]

Pinocchio floating (cuz he's WOOD) face down, looking down at Monstro calling for Geppetto.... Daddy??Daddy?? Are you down there?? :laughing:

Oh, woe is the wood.

[dpuck1998]

Well, if its a toilet and some wood then the toilet should be on the ceiling...I'm just saying....thats all....

OMG...if you're saying what I think you're saying...you really didn't need to say it, did ya?:lmao:

Must work on internal monolouge.....

[alebisi]

uh??? don't get it...at all:confused3

[UrsulasShadow]

uh??? don't get it...at all:confused3

If it's the art that's confusing you, that's okay...it's art. Doesn't have to make sense.

If it's dpuck....well, can't help you there. He confuses all of us.

[kab407]

I have to get into the City next weekend and see this.

[BRobson]

Art eh :confused3

When we were at Disneyland Paris last week the kids who are 8 & 6 wanted to go to Paris so off we went. We visited the Louvre and told the kids we were going to see the Mona Lisa which is the most famous painting in the world. DD looked, took photos and asked all the right questions. DS who is 6 asked why the painting was so small and why was the lady not smiling. The same boy asked later why all the boy statues didnt wear underwear :rotfl: :rotfl:

What do you mean? :thumbsup2

[Stacy's a freak]

I don't know what I find funnier ... the somewhat risque comment or a soggy Pinnochio.

[DebºoºS]

I think the artist has a Oedipus complex:lmao:

Besides everybody knows Mommy wouldn't be dumb enough to jump.

my kids preferred the building itself (the architecture) to the art it contained and didn't like the mona lisa.....there is another portraint of a woman in the same room that they liked much better...

their favorite art was in the garden of the rodin museum...they adored his sculptures....
during our 8 days in paris, we went back there 4 times....

as for paintings, they preferred the musee d'orsay to the louvre...

and as for pinochio.....no comment.....

My interpretation: An artistic rendering of a Tommy Lee pool party!

[NDM#1]

This is so perplexing. I want to understand, but I just can't. Apparently, I just need to stick with comic strips when in comes to art. :artist:

Oh, that is bad!:laughing:

[DebºoºS]

popcorn::OK at first I thought the artist had an Oedipus complex and really wanted Daddy to dive into the toilet or bidet to save Pinnochio but really wanted him to drown so he could have Mommy all to himself.
Upon further inspection I'm thinkin Pinnochios nose is stuck in the toilet (TU Mindy for the kids, toys and toilets reminder)
after falling pickled during a wild party (TU FireDancer)
whilst his polluted nose grows bigger and bigger cuz it's wood (TU MenashaCorp for wood idea)
Called Daddy cuz he's the only who knows how to free it.
:eek: I'm stopping there due to my fertile imagination wandering into a dark and sordid area of the brain that's best kept shut.

Can't wait to go see it during TGiving:rotfl:

If you look closely, you can see the sign located just below the frame, it reads, " PLEASE PEOPLE STAY OUT OF THE DAMN LAKES!!!!":rotfl2:
