...to the Royal Bison craft fair today when I saw this in the parking lot of a gas station:

So the stagecoach is both a gas-powered hot rod, AND a 4-horse wagon?
The juxtaposition of expertly-rendered horses and ineptly-rendered human figures (the guy is just a noseless troll; I get that. The girl appears to be missing a leg) is clearly some sort of similarly grand Statement.
Friends of Colby: are we sure that brain-overpressure thing was cured last week? Does someone who actually lives in Edmonton need to go over to his place and make sure he's not, I dunno, archiving his urine or something?

I can tell you his urine archiving started in elementary school. So don't worry about it.

Zomg, how dare you suggest that a redneck shag-wagon mural is art, even with tongue in cheek?
Heh, I like to tell people that the blobby trails of off-hue spraypaint I used to cover up the rust marks on my pickup truck are actually Pollack-inspired urban art.
Maybe next time I'll glue some rainbow colored flavored condoms on there instead, and qualify for a grant.

Colby Cosh goes to craft fairs? Wow. My worldview just took a little jolt.
