The Mona Lisa.

Mona Lisa. First Draft, by Leonardo da Vinci.

La Gioconda, almost.

(Needs some work, I reckon, before I show it to the pope)

The Ice Cream

The Ice Cream. First Draft, by Edvard Munch.

Munch's ice cream..

(I don't know, it's just too happy. Maybe if I lose the ice cream. Phhhhh.... Why do I bother? It will probably only end up getting nicked.)

The Lord's Prayer: First Draft.

Hello, god.
Boy, are you fantastic.
Listen, could you give us some food?
I know, I know, I nicked Zebedee's favorite chicken last week. I did do that, yeah.
But, honestly, if Zebedee had nicked one of my chickens, I would have probably just shrugged it off, you know.
Not buried him in a pit, like I did that time he called me a muppet.
Anyway, look after yourself.
And don't forget the food.

Paul Simon's very unknown song about donuts

A man walks down the street. He is a tall man. He is a donut man. He's going to buy a donut at the donut store. Yeah.

This could be me. This could be you. It doesn't matter. All that matters is donuts. And the universe. This man is thinking about the universe. It is big and he is small and donuts are smaller.

So on a sliding scale of bigness, he don't matter much and his donut matters less. Saxaphone. Yeah.

And he says Woooooooooooooo ooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo hooooooooooo hoooo hoooooooooooooooooo hooooooooowooooooo wooow ooooow ooow ooow ow o boy am I looking forward to my donut.

But when he gets there, the store is closed and the street is empty and it is all the fault of the government and vegetarians. Yeah.

First draft: God tries to create Adam

Tags:

God creates adam, but fucks it up and makes the head way to big.

Everyone knows about Michelangelo's famous painting of god creating Adam. Not many people know, however, that this was actually God's second go. The first time he tried it, he made the head way too big - a common problem in art.

Michelangelo recorded that moment too, as you can see above. But God and the pope absolutely refused to put it on the ceiling of the Sistine chapel. Michelangelo stuck it on the ceiling of the Pope's shed instead. The work was destroyed, along with the Popes shed, by marauding Vandals in 1972.
