The Condition Black :
Party tonight at my place. And by my place I mean the section of beach that I frequent but that I don't actually own. I expect everybody on FAR to come. Bring beer and be sure to bring a bathing suit because the weather is GORGEOUS today.
donkeyoatey : I'll be there at least in spirit, cold as heck here!
November 14 at 3:50PM
ducilla : Is there snow ?I am getting the ski's ready!...
November 14 at 3:58PM
Sinbackkk : I'm gonna have to dust off my surf board. Someone else can bring the beer. I'll bring the delights.
November 14 at 4:03PM
donkeyoatey : Are delights like oreos, or more like marshmallows?
November 14 at 4:10PM
Sinbackkk : Think in terms of really, really good brownies.
November 14 at 4:14PM
donkeyoatey : With that extra added something? LOL!
November 14 at 4:18PM
The Condition Black : No snow guy... it's a cool 80 degrees out with a slight breeze and the sun is shining. Going to be a beautiful night, 72 degrees and warm water. I'm thinking bonfire, some of Sinbackkk's brownies, a little midnight surf session and some fishing. And beer. Sorry Ducilla; no such thing as snow in South Texas.
November 14 at 4:22PM
MarthaHolloway : WOW, your having a Birthday Party for me. How thoughtful. Wish I could be there for it but not scheduled to arrive until December 1st. Hang on to those temperatures and the sunshine for me PLEASE! These old bones are really hating the cold and damp here at home. Oh and no presents please but it would be really great if just one person would see their way to reviewing my Beauty in Ugliness photo so it would reach Recognize status. That would really make my day.......:)
November 14 at 5:27PM
donkeyoatey : your wish dear lady is granted..consider it an early B.D. present! lol
November 14 at 5:43PM
The Condition Black : Jack Frost has never liked South Texas. And South Texas doesn't like him. We avoid each other. Martha it would be a pleasure!
November 14 at 6:24PM
donkeyoatey : Jack has been hanging around here lately..Dennis, I hear people have been skiing and snowboardingon sand dunes..I'll bring that box I am trying to get out of!
November 14 at 6:52PM
MarthaHolloway : Thank you donkeyoatey and Condition Black for the reviews. I appreciate it very much--the ideal birthday present...l0l
November 14 at 8:45PM
seshadri_sreenivasan : Can one take to waters fully clothed? We do it in India?:) (at least majority of people).Public display of 'you know what'is frowned upon!:)
November 15 at 11:29PM
The Condition Black : Of course. That is interesting here. Your custom would come across as very strange in the States. Is surfing common in India?
November 16 at 9:42AM
seshadri_sreenivasan : No. Not much. In metros one can see some action.Mostly foreigners and 'foreign returned' :)
November 16 at 12:07PM
The Condition Black :
Thanks to some very helpful, wonderful photographers on this site (Corrina and Personify, I love you!!!) I have a healthy series of nude drawings. I am curious what everyone's thoughts are regarding me posting them here. Too much?
LowRider : I am very use to naked folks---post away---
November 9 at 4:33PM
LowRider : Badger you a bitch of a pervert which makes you quite lovable to some---
November 9 at 6:00PM
LowRider : Your bloody freakin' cakes are in tha mail and yes, never forget you are my bitch!!!
November 9 at 7:24PM
ThomSantistevan : Yall ,need to get back to encourage bringing in the nudes now that you got that thing straightened out between ya.(no pun int.)
November 9 at 8:06PM
The Condition Black : Well ok then... looks like I'll be posting some nudes. Give me a few days. Laies feel free to send pictures for encouragement.
November 9 at 10:22PM
seshadri_sreenivasan : Nude painting is not popular in my country. Hence I am not very familiar with it.I have a basic doubt. While doing nude painting in person,how do you guys manage the 'h..d o.s.??
November 16 at 12:13PM
The Condition Black :
So Personify is my most favorite person in the world right now! Thank you for your help!
Echo7 : Did she give you naked photos of me?,,,Ive warned her about this.
November 4 at 4:10PM
The Condition Black : Yes she did. But you have nothing to worry about... except for a bunch of finely drawn pictures of yourself ending up on FAR. You might have to worry about that.
November 4 at 5:04PM
Echo7 : You should call the photo "A true Scotsman". Does he wear underwear under his kilt
November 4 at 6:55PM
Personify : My pleasure. I am excited to see your creations.
November 4 at 7:49PM
Echo7 : You want to see my creations?....Rita
November 4 at 8:28PM
The Condition Black :
Anybody interested in trading me some model shots for figure studies? I'm having trouble getting models at the moment.
LowRider : I well understand that-----
November 1 at 4:22PM
The Condition Black : You understand why I'm not getting them? Our you can recall having difficulty yourself?
November 1 at 5:49PM
PurpleShedGirl : I'll do it, if you pay for my flight, food and accomodation...
November 1 at 5:56PM
Echo7 : My girlfriend loves being naked. All i have to do is give her cookies.
November 1 at 8:10PM
The Condition Black : Purpleshed... can't afford all that but I'm willing to barter for pre-existing model pics. I even offer a paying contract... but it is based on art sales. Echo, why you gotta be rubbing that in? You are effectively kicking a guy when he's down!
November 1 at 10:12PM
Personify : I have some to trade
November 2 at 4:47PM
The Condition Black :
Just entered two very prestigious contests... I am EXCITED! One of them has a $50,000 prize and the talent pool is going to be far smaller than your typical national competition.
donkeyoatey : I wish you the best! Donkeyoatey
October 28 at 11:15AM
The Condition Black : You just want one of those celebratory drunks I'll be buying for the house if I do!
October 28 at 11:24AM
The Condition Black : Thank you all for your support! I don't think I got the chops to win, but I am hoping to be a finalist. That would mean the world!
October 31 at 11:12AM
MKFlood : Dude! glad your with me on the football contest!..thanks for joining...flipping thru mystuff trying to figure out now what i can do to give you a run for your money..football players, marching bands, cheerleaders in playboy , janet jackson showing some...hmm thinking..thinking..just kidding..thanks again..look forward to see whatcha come up with..
November 1 at 7:57AM
The Condition Black : Nice... it'll be good, I promise. But I'm going to let a few more people enter before I post my entree. Just for fun. I want to see what other people are working with.
November 1 at 9:00AM
chickadee : Best of luck and keep up posed! Is it a painting??
November 1 at 10:47AM
The Condition Black : Probably charcoal... that is my preference with human form/model drawings. But I do want to get into doing some model paintings.
November 1 at 4:11PM
The Condition Black :
I am working on what I hope will be the best painting of my life. Details coming soon...
PurpleShedGirl : oh no! what will you do after you have achieved such perfection! you will have nothing left to strive for....
October 26 at 10:08AM
donkeyoatey : Go fast, I am unable to hold my breth very long!
October 26 at 1:08PM
The Condition Black :
Art show with surf photographer Jon Steele was sick. Sold nearly half my collection, owned the event and have an hours worth of emails to bid on commissions. This of course after my fantastic week on FAR. Livin' la Vida Orchard!!!
