Rresidential Ailments Trading Card Set

Since I am at it I am going to share some of my other unfinished trading cards. Here are the front sides of the Presidential Ailment Trading cards. I never really get to the backs of the cards. I guess I like to photoshop the art more than I want to do the research for the stats and data on a traditional trading card. *

Quinsy, Acute Laryngitis and pneumonia.

Baldness, Depression, Boils and Rheumatism.

Dysentery, Depression, Buttock Boils and Prostatic Enlargement.

Frostbite, Chronic Cholecystitis and Arthritis.

Gunshot Wound, Recurrent Malaria and Seizures.


As you can see these might have been a blast to put together. Maybe I will finish them one day.

Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician

Today there was a post on Metafilter for Steve Reich's CITY LIFE Performed Live in 1995 at the Frankfurt Opera House, with the Ensemble Modern conducted by Sian Edwards:
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5.

That is not the reason for this post though. When I went to youtube to check out the links to the videos I found this little gem.

This performance of GRAB IT! by famed Dutch composer, Jacob ter Veldhuis (Jacob TV) is by guitarist Kevin Gallagher.

Daniel Erbstoesser Fence

I have seen this fence hundreds of times in my life as it is at Whitcomb Av on Lakeshore Dr which is the main road into the city of Sheboygan from Black River where I grew up. The fence is now 31 years old and it has held up well.

This is the rotary intersection at 8th and Indiana Av in Sheboygan. The buiding to the right is the C. Reiss Coal Company building. Through the sculpture is Sheboygan's flag waving and Sheboygan's tallest building, the US Bank Building. To the left is the Spire on the St Cyril Church.

If you want an audience start a fight.

You need a case of the geebes today?

Caught these two fighting on my porch awhile back. Look at the size of the brown one. This fight lasted for some time.

That is a 4x4 post right behind him to get an idea of how big he is.

I'd worship the ground you walked on if only you walked in a better neighborhood.

Have had these shots from my neighborhood for awhile and just now getting around to posting them.

I like these UFO on the retaining wall in front of the church on 12th street.

A T-shirt (or tee shirt) is a shirt, usually buttonless, collarless, and pocketless, with a round neck and mostly (but not necessarily) short sleeves

How is this for a great T-shirt idea?

Thank you TR for Mock modeling this design.
