Description God is a baby-faced yenta living in a four-story igloo made from bricks of quality hashish. Her Holiness, blessed be She, recently finished serving a prison sentence for grand larceny, extortion, and assault with a deadly weapon.
In Her younger years, She made careful use of Her insurgent nature, devoting Herself to the cause of promoting tidier neckties among all people. However, with age, Her resolve began to falter and Her waning momentum converged with an unforeseen lapse in direction; Her actions became increasingly reckless and belligerent, leading Her to develop a neurotic fixation with the insufflation of common household chemicals and eventually culminating in a general state of incomprehensible delirium.
In the summer of 1991, She gave birth to twenty sea turtles. Over the course of the subsequent two weeks, She auctioned off eighteen of the turtles to wealthy entrepreneurs and ate the other two for supper.
In a statement to FOX News earlier in the year, She decried all caterpillar procreation and affirmed Her β€œunshakable solidarity with, and undying support for, the divine righteousness of refined carbohydrates, cassette tapes, and doo-wop music.”

Happily, it would seem that the proper "fear of God" hasn't been 'rightly' installed into your memory banks. I would bet God loves this description of Her recent life, but when I asked my wife to ask God 'how old She was', God said, " I am never old."
Rock the Mandolin is a Brain!a brilliant Brain.

Looks more like my neighbor to me.

The guy here urged me to love him as myself.

God has many faces, and no face at all! God is everything and nothing.

This is exactly how i pictured the greatest fictional character of all time (no disrespect to believers), running around madly and shouting 'What do i do, what do i do?!?! Incidentally, if God is a woman she is going to knock herself out running around with tits like that.

Hmm, I'm curious as to how you developed this idea. Did you start with the sketch or with the story? This work seems like it had some element of automatism in it; did you do automatic drawing or writing?

octopusmandolin In reply to Bambiman [2009-06-24 13:43:09 +0000 UTC]

Yes! You are the first to notice that, I do it in most of my drawings. I can almost never create anything unless I'm able to sort of think and operate on autopilot. It is true of the writing as well. I did the drawing without anything in mind and when I went to submit it on here, I just randomly started typing in the comments section and wound up with this.
I appreciate the +favorite.

I do a lot of automatic drawing, but most of it ends up never leaving my sketchbook. I used to do a lot of automatic writing, too, but that just kind of stopped after a while.
I have a hard time creating anything without having some sort of message in it, so I guess that's why I love surrealist art so much.

Do you belive in God,Anna?

Thank you
And whether I believe in God depends on the definition of the person asking... I am not intentionally trying to be ambiguous, the term just means many different things to many different people.

i am not talking about religions or dogmas, i am asking if you personally have a kind of relation to a higher purpose, and if yes,which will it be,what kind of relation do you have with faith?

the drawing is so freaky and carelessly playful. the depiction of god has most definitely left an inspiring impression on my life. i read that you were inspired by another artist as well (who im gonna check out right after this), so, thank you for passing along the gift you were given

did you write the story? its so amazing

thank you very much for all the kind words!
And yes, I wrote the story. I thought the drawing was too bland to be without a proper story.
