Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 23, 2018

I’m not impressed, Martin. It looks more like a pineapple.

Bienvenidos, MUDD.

How thrilling to have a chainsaw graffiti artist perform his art on your very own porch! Maybe it will become incredibly valuable! (If your porch does not fall down).

Martin just doesn’t do his sculptures on his own porch railings. He doesn’t realize that the Hemperfills installed a video camera just in case he came to their house too. His activities are about to be trimmed and shaped.

Martins carving will bring the house down.

For example,

Martin isn’t going to be able to use that chainsaw at his next stop: the Ballard City Hoosgow and Garden Center.

Come to think of it, the garden center has some Catalpa trees that need a good lopping.

I can tell you that Delores Winegarten is going to be angry.

That’s her porch.

And she specifically told him NOT to carve a pear on it.

She asked for a tomato.

Some people have the strangest way of expressing themselves.

Good morning Mudd and Gweedo.

Someone should tell Martin to grow a pear…

The situation is about to go pear-shaped…

That explains those early morning small engine sounds about the neighborhood.

You all remember Martin’s attempt at carving a bear and an eagle on two venerable oak trees in the Ballard City Park & Re-Creation Area.

That catastrophe will always be remembered as The Great Chainsaw Massacre.

I guess that i’m extra thick today.

I got nothing.

The evil dead season is slow right now. He needs something to do with his chainsaw.

Art is in the Eye of the Beholder, but not all Art is Useful.

All this talk of pairs and I only saw one carving.

I love the way this man thinks
