The nerd draws!

So the tall nerd that lives in my house drew this. He and a friend of his got together and drew. It isn't owl related so it's just ok.

He Lies!

I originally said Bling wasn't in movies. He was just being modest, he doesn't think he's had any big parts. I say bull!

To the Top of Mount Pistachio

Man those goats make great pudding!

NEW PICS!

So I finally have new pics up! Introducing  a new edition to the parliament...Bling Crosby. He's not a crooner or in B&W movies but he knows how to cook a wicked field mouse goulash. See more pics of him on the website www.kevindbrown.com/theowl.html CHS

Three New Shirt Designs

So the first one isn't technically a new shirt design it has been one in the works for a while but I am finally getting around to publishing it here. In fact I just realized that I hadn't posted in almost a year which is horribly disgusting. During this time I've made a couple trips and a new roomate, Bling Crosby, joined my cousin Gilly and I (pics here and on the website soon). Colonel Sanders

...one giant leap for a plastic owl head.

Early Bird

So right after I finished the Night Owl t-shirt I received a request for an Early Bird tee. CHS

T-shirt 2

So as promised in the last post here is the shirt on a model. I cropped his face out because truthfully I need a better looking model.

T-shirt

Straight from the racks of high fashion a cool Colonel shirt. As soon as I can get a shot of it on someone I will post it. CHS

Legoland

A homeless owl makes his home out of discarded Legos and finds food in the trash from the factory among the noises of the city his neighbor snores loudly from his van down by the river.

Beware! Beware!

Found this image and felt it crucial to share its wisdom. Colonel

So one of my goals with this blog is to report on some of the cool places that I have been. Althought it has been a few months since my trips there, one of my favorite places to be is Yellowstone National Park. I love everything about that place; viewing wildlife, the landscape, I even love the sulfur egg fart smell. Mmmm… egg salad sandwiches! Fortunately this past year I able to go there and have a blast, and I even saw a grizzly in the wild for the first time. During some of my previous visits I had camped at Madison Junction Campgrounds, however this past Labor Day I was very lucky to have stayed at the Madison Hotel. The Madison, in West Yellowstone, is a block and a half from the west entrance of the park. Their card reads “Restful Accommodations Rustic Atmosphere” and when they say rustic they mean rustic. It is a hotel with history; it is one of the, if not the, oldest hotel in West Yellowstone. Staying there made me think of going to an older cabin with friends and relaxing for a week. It isn’t new with all the new gadgets and accommodations but it is worth the stay. The following is from their website:
THE HISTORIC MADISON HOTEL
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places
by the United States Department of Interior
The Historic Madison Hotel reflects the rich history of early tourism to Yellowstone National Park. Built in 1912, the Madison Hotel began as a two-story rectangular building of simple log construction with saddle-notched corner timbering and a prominent front dormer. A cut-stone fireplace in the downstairs lobby warmed the original six upstairs rooms. Each room had a pitcher, a washbasin and a chamber pot. Water came from a well across the street. The hotel expanded in 1921 adding fourteen rooms, a bar and a dance floor. There was no running water until the 1930's. Today The Madison Hotel has most of the amenities you would expect to find in a modern hotel. Log support columns and beams, wood floors, light fixtures, the stone fireplace, and many of the room furnishings remain original. Although not the first hotel in West Yellowstone, the Madison is the only hotel that remains from the early days of tourism in Yellowstone National Park. www.madisonhotelmotel.com

Another place to check out while you are in West Yellowstone is the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center. Great information on bears and wolves and their life and importance to the Yellowstone area and world-class exhibits. The habitats that the wolves and bears are in, allow you to view them easily and closely. However being an owl, my favorite was a presentation on birds of prey. During which I ran into my cousin Tegan. He seemed to be doing well, a few years back during a really violent thunderstorm he was blown out of his nest. A trucker rescued him and now he has a pretty sweet gig. Anyway great place, great information, and fantastic exhibits. Check out their website: www.grizzlydiscoveryctr.com

Creation

So this image has been a source of debate, it hasn’t appeared in a regular spot on the website however it was one of several random images that appeared on the website’s first page a few months ago. It is very unlikely that many or anyone saw it. To me it is too funny to pass up posting. The hardest part about creating the painting was making the model look better than he did. So with the intention to make you laugh and perhaps squirm a bit at the site of such a pasty white boy…
