I Love My Crazy Friends

My friend Jane sends me an e-mail this morning..."Found this painting - I believe it is an oil of Emmett Kelly the famous clown...signed by "Jasper" trying to find information about it on the internet and can't seem to find the right search to find...try and look this up for me MISS ART and see if you can find anything."

Oh yeah, I made the picture extra large just to mess with you.

See, she calls me "Miss Art," so I can totally make fun of her right back. That's how we roll. I think she did this to get back at me for getting us into trouble back in the day. I plead the fifth, but let's just say we've had some fun since second grade. But she must know I hate clowns in any form. Really, really hate clowns. I know I'm not alone. In fact, true clown lovers have to be rare. I designed a book for a clown once and it was all I could do not to scream during the photo shoot for the cover. Good times.

Anyway, if you know of a famous artist named "Jasper" who had an Emmett Kelly fixation, steer me there. I'll split the millions my dear friend is going to share with me when this "baby" sells! And sorry in advance for the nightmares.

Jane and I at the Antiques Road Show. I'm the gigantic one.

It's not that we haven't tried to make millions on our finds in the past. Here we are finding out that our stuff isn't worth the price of the free tickets we scored for the Antiques Road Show. I'm holding out for Emmett Kelly though! I have a feeling. ;)
