Grandma's End Table


Remember when you were younger and spent the weekends at your grandparent's house? How you would stare off into those pictures your grandmother would keep on her end tables, the ones that captured the simplicity of the "good ol' days" in gray scale. That quaint, old Greek cottage that looked like it might have been as colorful and vibrant as your grandmother's cheeks twenty years ago. With a stranger posed happily in the center, wearing a face that had an old familiarity about it.

Okay, sure, maybe that's not exactly what your grandmother had sitting on her end table, but I bet you wish that it was. Just imagine what our lives would be like if we had grown up with the strangeness that seems to be infesting the internet these days.

I can't take credit for the background painting there, that was done by a fellow in Greece. But the cute little bugger sitting up front is all mine, and he's not quite as old as he looks. You can see him in his younger days by clicking the picture up top.

And, last but not least, for you kids who are only on the internet for one reason and one reason alone... here he is showing a little tail.
