Who has True Grit anymore anyway..

Greetings internet.

I've been watching a lot of Netflix lately... recently I watched "True Grit"... not the new one, but the original made in the late 60s. After watching it I kept thinking:

...It's a shoot 'em up movie the whole family can enjoy!...

I also realized when men hug it sounds like khaki and corduroy smacking against each other and it smells like leather.

I'm really glad I didn't grow up in the 1800s. Bringing your riffles into saloons while you gamble and drink whiskey seems like a terrible idea. I guess I wouldn't be allowed in a saloon anyway unless I was a prostitute. I would also hate not having air conditioning.

Anyway on a completed related, unrelated note here's another woodcut that you can find on my ETSY.

This woodcut is titled "Didgeridoo Man"

This original piece was created by cutting into a wood block and running it through a press. I then embellish details using acrylic paint. Didgeridoo man was inspired a street performer I watched while in San Diego. He was an Aboriginal and the way he played the didgeridoo was mesmerizing. The didgeridoo in itself was a work of art. It made me think of that short magical period of time I lived in Australia. And yes, I swear I lived there and my little brain wasn't just hallucinating.
