New Artist-in-Residence Named
Please welcome the newly appointed artist-in-residence at my Greensboro estate, Harmonious Josh:
Harmonious is taking over for Billy the Blogging Poet, who was kind enough to extend his November-only appointment through the end of February. Billy will be honored at this Wednesday's Blogsboro coffee hour with a $1 million check. Great job, Billy. I especially appreciate this masterpiece.
The appointment of Harmonious marks my first move from the literary arts (John Ashbery, Robert Pinsky, Seamus Heaney, Rita Dove, Mark Strand and Billy the Blogging Poet) to the visual arts. I may call on Harmonious to illustrate cartoons for a cartoon caption contest to compete with the New Yorker's and the News and Record's.

Dude, this time I'm buying the first round! Thanks!
Good lord, this can only have frightening repercussions in the N9/HJ household. As if his head wasn't big enough already. Hooboy.
Please, don't mind the Mrs.
I am honored to accept this appointment, and will start your portrait this evening. It will be done in watercolor on a 2.5x3.5 inch canvas, and sold on eBay.
Please know that I am also willing to take up residence in your humble abode, ready to sketch any burglars that may intrude. If I get the sketch done quickly enough, I may even chase them for a bit.
It has come to the art establishments attention that now with an artist-in-residence, the lack of a serious art critic is a problem. Run-a-muck self-indulging art will only result from having no balance. An appointment of artist-in-residence requires the appointment of a critic to maintain your credentials for artistic integrity. Sincerely, Golders
You're right, Golders! If Robert Hughes isn't available, perhaps you'll consider?
When there is actual art from HarmoniousJosh, I'll get back to you. At present the art is invisible as are my opinions on such.
It was a headrest for a car seat, NOT Micky Mouse ears!
Sorry - old fight between Golders and I.
First Percy Pic is up on the 'ol blog and eBay.
A more mickish version is now on eBay.
Why settle for "mickish" when you can have the genuine article?
Why settle for gold nuggets when you can have 'real' mud nuggets? Obviously the comment of an art-ignorant individual. Completely in the dark about the mick standard. Thank heavens for an intelligent - albeit unofficial - art critic in these pages.
