Third View of the Sphinx

Note: All of my Sphinx renderings have drastically rescaled/readjusted proportions. The actual Sphinx was constructed with proportions not realistic to what we are accustomed to and become even more distorted when viewed from an eye-level perspective of the huge structure. When I sketch the Sphinx I enlarge it's small head, shorten it's long forearms and body, and increase the size of it's hind section. The majority of people are accustomed to seeing the Sphinx proportions readjusted by other artists, sculptors, and television or film producers. Many people feel the artist has rendered the Sphinx out-of-proportion when they have actually rendered it the way it actually is.

People of Wal-Mart

As a child when entering a post office with my grandad he would take a look at the 'wanted by the FBI' posters and say "one place you never want to see your picture is on the wall of the post office".
Now as an adult I can add another location where I never hope to see my photo, and that's on peopleofwalmart.com! So far I've been pretty lucky and haven't shown up on that site (at least I don't think I have).
