Secret Wall Tattoos by Poisøn Lake
June 29th, 2009 11:35 AM / Location: 39.482845,-118.7807
This is not exactly an epic completion, but the opportunity for spontaneous tasking arose & I took it.
Some background: I found myself trapped in Fallon, Nevada for some vague 'family event' before my final drive from conservative-butthole-of-nowhere, CA to Portland, OR. For those of you unfamiliar, Fallon is like Barstow with alfalfa fields & a super wal-mart.
Anyway that's where I am as of this typing (Fallon, not Barstow). With a few minutes to myself in the hotel room (whose free wireless I am now apprising myself of) I frantically searched the room for a removable wall feature & found only a mirror that is bolted down (bolted up?) or otherwise secured in an unfortunate & task-preventing way. More searching & I found the room's lone painting. Luckily the painting was only haphazardly attached to the wall. I removed it, pulled a chair over & grabbed the requisite permanent markers from my bag. Then I got back on the chair & promptly blanked on what to draw, so as usual when I don't know what to doodle, a bunny appeared. Of course, he's not just anybunny, he's King Rabbit.
After drawing Mr. bunny & replacing the picture, I had to spend the next day sharing the room with my parents & trying not to stare at the wall.

that squiggly thing he's holding is a carrot on a string & his text reads "I've been conquering".
wall post-task

if you look closely, you can tell that time has passed because the red light on the coffee maker is on, telling me it's time to caffeinate.
