Drawing Ten

This is a Drawing of Moses. Not from life,of course,more like my idea of Moses after countless viewings of the film ’The Ten Commandments’. Speaking of the Ten Commandments did you know that Cecil B. DeMille(the director of the film) gave money to the Fraternal Order of Eagles(a group originally founded by some theatre owners) to  donate over 2000 granite copies of the commandments to towns around the U.S..Some of the dedication ceremonies were even timed to coincide with the films release and both Yul Brynner and Charlton Heston(the films stars)  made appearances at two of these ceremonies. I know it sounds crazy,but it’s true,really,it is.

(Be sure and have a look at the bonus drawing) 

 

BONUS DRAWING!

This is the back side of the ‘Moses drawing’. Don’t think I waste paper! I’m not that environmentally conscious actually, it’s just that I used to get paper for free from this woman I knew, but she has stopped giving it to me,so, I have to use both sides now. 

Please don’t call the phone number written above. I don’t know whose number it is,but I’m sure they wouldn’t want you calling.

This is not a Drawing

This is a trick
Like a rabitt from a hat
I say it’s about this
when it’s really about that
And what is this that
Of which I am speaking
Well, it begins and it ends
With a whole lot of squeaking
What could that be?
Are you wanting to know?
You could find out
Just by clicking below

What is this? 

A Poem and Drawing by

Mr. Jack Olson

IMG_3490

What do we have here?
What is this strange scene?
Two worried looking fellows
and a peculiar machine?
Is it a smokestack on wheels?
It looks a danger to drive
If those two are in it
They’ll never survive
Whatever’s going to happen
I don’t want to know
It’s a ridiculous drawing
He’s chosen to show
In fact, it’s quite terrible 
I won’t look anymore
My favorite by far
Is still number four

This was drawn from a photograph of Hitler. I drew it because he’s shaking his fist. I think it’s a good reminder that if someone shakes their fist at you they shouldn’t be trusted.
