Snarks vs. Bears, Pigs, Nutcrackers, etc.

Cece's brain fell out a couple of weekends ago when several of the Snarky bunch forced their way into a high-security compound in the heart of scenic Grants Pass, Oregon. This was not a secret military base, nor a defense contractor's 'Skunk Works'; even juicier, it was the dreamland called the 'Bear Hotel'. The BH is the artist's version of the aforementioned 'skunk works'; a place where artists huddle in a ghetto of cubicles
and are alternately whipped with rusty chains and promsised sushi bites to force them to produce large scale art pieces around a theme dictated by the evil overlord, Bradystopholes.

Big Timber and the American Eagle; let's git us some freedom fries, Bubba.

Yep, you guessed it, leather fish. The second one with a saddle is about six feet long. LEATHER, hello.That's so hot.

These people were rounded up and fed to famished ferrets soon after this snap was taken.

A photo is worth a thousand words, so whisper "What the hell?" to yourself about 334 times.

kelly wasted this four minutes of your life, sorry.
