Browsing Boing Boing yesterday, I discovered Kirsten Johnson's fun oil paintings of sock puppets. Her collection covers the whole range of human emotion from cranky, to evasive, to foolishly optimistic, to rambunctious, to drunkenly amorous. Many of the pieces are already sold, but I think a few are still available. Gorgeously insincere might fit nicely on my wall.

Thanks again for this post, Dan.
Rambunctious just arrived home last week. Kirsten sent him off well packed and he arrived safe and sound. I smile every time I look at him. You know. In a lot of ways it's like having a dog... except that it doesn't bark... and a sock... and it's painted.
