Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 18, 2022

Berry had best stay away from Neal, or he may end up in the same situation as Neal’s waiter did yesterday.

It’s easy to inspire an empty space…iand Barry’brain is the Poster Child.

yeah, wish that’s me

I guess he’s got a mirror down there, to provide such an accurate image of his appendage.

I think this means that there are more (better) things yet to come from Barry – “Something’s afoot.”

Well, I  think ol’ Barry deserves a hand.

A lot of us think we could do something artistic, but we just sit there, and never try.

At least Barry has started down that path… albeit one foot at a time.

A good exercise if you’re trying to learn to draw is to draw nothing but hands and feet for a while.

OMG look what he did to his cardboard inserts!

Some people think all feet are weird and/or ugly.

Barry doesn’t think so. And his feet really aren’t (too) weird or (too) ugly.

yet i see a big foot

Sequel to my left foot

He can name his work My Right Foot.

“That reminds me, I have to go to the market for some roast beef, or I’ll have none…”

Inspired by W’s painting of his own feet in the tub ?

Barry stuck his foot in it this time.

I think he’s working on a series! He’s going to do his whole body this way and make a big sliding block puzzle…

Barry is showing real talent, just last week he mastered the thumb.

Have you ever explored the cost of live models? No, I mean real models. An old girlfriend hitchhiked out to visit me from Texas one summer. My roommate got her a job as a model on campus. With her long red hair, freckles and amiable disposition, she was a hit with the artists and made good money until she got bored. :)

I’m impressed. I’ve seen cuticles illustrated before, but never with so much passion.

He’s no Norman Rockwell. :)

That’s putting his best foot forward.

Cartoon characters have only 4 fingers (including thumb), but have five toes LOL

Inspiration is only a foot away.
