Funny tales of a hero

Brock

The world is my martini. Is it yours, too? The novelist Patricia Highsmith was first to write words to that effect. Her contemporary Thurber said one martini is okay, two are too many, and three aren”t enough. George Burns never jogged with martini in hand. It might spill. Speaking of martinis, here’s my newest minor graphic. It’s for martini lovers and is available here on aprons, pillows, tees and stuff. Lots of stocking stuffer stuff, and affordable gifts for your drinking buddies. The graphic is also available in a signed edition of five on my real art web at Artspan. Here’s that info: www.peterjketchum.com. Bottoms up!

Here's stuff for thinkers, and who doesn't. Think. Psychologists, gamers, and game theorists play The Game. The goal is to avoid thinking about The Game. Thinking about it constitutes a loss. You cannot refuse to play it. You can never stop playing it. The Game ends only when the Prime Minister of England announces on TV that "The Game is up." The Game may have been started at Cambridge by members of its Science Fiction Society. Who knows. I don't even want to think about it.

Present this honorary Noble Prize in Physicks to someone blessed with self-importance and poor spelling skills. The award can be in the form of a tee shirt, pillow or a variety of other gifts. The Alfred E. Newmanesque noble winner pictured is an adapted target face from a carnival game. By the way, the real NOBEL PRIZE awarded by Swedish royalty is not the same as the Noble Prize awarded by Brooklyn N'er do wells. The Noble Prize is far, far more prestigious. FYI, TROLL PHYSICS, also known as Troll Science, grew out of a rage comic series full of pseudo-scientific drawings that were notable for their obvious (to scientists, not me) errors and fake scientific illustrations.

Announcement. I am the real thing, not an A.I creation. Nothing artificial or robotic or alien. A human being. Gifts for programmers, engineers, computer people and real honest to god humans. Or very smart machines who know how to order in bulk.

Sweet, cute kitten design on many gifts for cat lovers. The Assault Kitty pokes her head through the vintage matchbox label of a Swedish match company. Looks innocent, but do be wary. Cats can be sneaky. Particularly if you are a bird. Kitty's available to wear on a tee shirt while drinking from an Assault Kitty mug and writing cat poems in an Assault Cat notebook.For more about the award-winning artist see www.peterjketchum.com

A truth-speaking Me Mug or tee or some of the other stuff designed for the exceptionally self-assured. Because that's what it IS about. You. Looking out for numero uno. It should be all about you, right! In this Trumpian era SOMEBODY has to look out for you. Might want to get the mask too. But don't wear it while sipping from the Me Mug. Just saying. Idea: be snide and give a Ketchum Art ME GIFT to your best frenemy. She'll hate it but secretly admire its truth

An ANTIKA (anti-kale) gift for you and your meat-eating friends. Kind of morbid, eating people, but kale and green cleanses are deadly, too. The adapted quote is from singer-songwriter Ted Nugent who said, “Vegetarians are cool. All I eat are vegetarians--except for the occasional mountain lion steak.“ We jest, of course. Don’t go eating any vegetarians. Stick with free-range mountain lion steaks. The anti-veggie design is on tees, pillows mugs and magnets. Order something for the meat eater in your life. Or something for yourself. P.S. Seriously though, do eat meat and fish in moderation. Better for your health, and the planet.

Bright red flowers make it hard to ignore your power message: I'll show you! Is it a challenge? A threat? A boast? Whatever, it's a message with attitude. It's full of confidence and can-do. A little don't mess with me and a little bit can I help you. Yet, it's pretty too. Nice gift for a girlfriend. Find the design on tees, a magnet, a pillow and a bunch of stuff. After you make your purchase here on Teepublic, check out my award-winning fine art on Artspan, www.peterjketchum.com.

As an outsider looking in, do you wonder if being a genius is a burden? Me too. So I answered my own question in graphic form. More smart ass than just plain smart. The background is either a math formula or the formula for making lethal weapons. Who knows? It just looked pretty.

You have got the Zap plate

You have got the Icicle plate

You have got the Meadow plate

Gone fishin'

A very diverse location for Idaho. You can go from driving in the Snake River Valley, enjoying mesas and plateaus...to mountainous get-a-ways for Hollywood types.

TOMATO

With the portrait of Willa Cather as a girl and her quotation, this design honors the great American author and early feminist. She believed any girl could be Pope, Emperor or anything she wanted to be. Spread the word about Girl Power with gifts made from this design. And, want to be Pope? Work at it until you wear down the Cardinals and they vote you in. And then make your best friend the first lady Cardinal.

Adapted from a vintage black and white newspaper ad. For the last year or so the mustache has restaked its claim to the upper lip of the stylish. No longer just for cops, leathermen, English profs, or porn stars. The stache is for all. Be a man, or manish! Grow one by yourself or with a little help. It's a new age. Get with it. Fashion dictates obedience. Brooklyn born but now stylish worldwide.

I’ve been on horses, real and electronic. I’ve been kicked by a horse. I know horse people. And I know many horse people love their horses and merely tolerate humans. Particularly human males. Sharon Ralls Lemon, author of The Ultimate Horse Book wrote, “The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit and freedom.” This bold graphic design is available on a wide variety of stuff here in my KetchumArt Store. You can also get it in an affordable limited edition signed print on my Artspan page, www.peterjketchum.com. But shop here first. Maybe for valentine gifts for the horse lover— OR LOVER— in your life? Thanks for your interest, and may the horse be with you!

Bad boy syndrome is when a woman (or man) is drawn to a guy who is known to be toxic and will end up leaving so he can to someone else. Usually named something like Chad or Dexter. Adapted from my original work which used a b&w 1937 mug shot from Pittsburgh which was colored and mounted on a cloudy sky. That original was then copied, bordered and given a prison bars background on gray. If you've got bad boy syndrome, our condolences.

Having a bad day? A moan day or a wails day? This design on tees, mugs and other stuff will cheer you up. Just say James Joyce’s words out loud. Shout the words. Loud. Pound your chest. Hard. Weep copiously. See. It worked! The design adapts a photo of James Joyce and pairs it with his iconic days of the week from “Finnegans Wake.” He called the work “a nightmaze.” Read it and see why. Do it this Frightday. Know an English major? This would be a perfect gift. Or a Burthday present?

If you aren't the cream de la cream you ain't getting in this cab. Willy's 77 Midwest Taxi Company appeared on a matchbook cover which I adapted for this bold design. Willy was cheap, and Willy was fast. And a bit of a snob I am guessing. Great gift ideas for the creme de la creme (besties) in your realm.

SCAREDY- CATS is a design on shirts, pillows and stuff. And aren't we all Scaredy-Cats. What with the Earth having used up at least six and a half of its nine lives and everyone but Rhode Island having nuclear missiles. Yikes. Get a tee shirt or something in my store even if you aren’t scared. (But, you should be. Very very scared.) Then go see my fine art on Artspan (www.peterjketchum.com) to get a signed print of the scaredy-cats. Thanks.

Get your own tee or any product like the friendly counselors and staff at Devil's Hill, Arizona's very own Camp Ketchum located in the desert mountains. The Murders at Camp Ketchum is a new horror novel from E. Reyes (Author of The Halloween Grindhouse) releasing in August 2022.

This extraordinarily fashionable cat is British, not French! It is adapted from an early acrylic of mine which in turn was adapted from a British postcard series. Outrageously affordable on a variety of gifts. For information about me the humble award-winning artist see www.peterjketchum.com.

COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES is a bold design on shirts, stickers, totes, etc. It’s about not sticking to the rules. Wear the tee and declare your independence. Give Color Outside the Lines as a gift on mugs or pillows to your friends who also break the rules. Or who don’t, and should. “You have to color outside the lines once in a while if you want to make your life a masterpiece.” That’s what the scientist Albert Einstein said. And he was a pretty smart dude. Order now. It’s the smart thing to do.

Perfect for artists, this design's adapted from physiognomy, or face reading. The image is on tees, pillows and a bunch of stuff in my store. Physiognomy is the belief that a face reveals the personality behind it. The idea goes back 500 years to Pythagoras who picked his math students by what he saw in their faces. Physiognomy is palm reading but with faces. And every bit as scientific. So, if your forehead is high and broad like this one, you have an artistic personality. It shows intelligence and an affinity for the arts. You’re a high brow. I, BTW, have a high forehead. Buy gifts or self-rewards here in my shop. Then see my fine art on Artspan, www.peterjketchum.com. Thanks.

Angst. Lately an everyday feeling. For this campy design a b&w photo was colored and merged with pieces of a poster for a horror film about a psychopath--not filmed in Washington, though. We certainly can relate to Nurse Pelosi's distress. The age of angst for sure. Yeesh. If you have it, though, talk about it!

“Cupcakes! You're going down.” Coach Hedge bellows to his students in Rick Riodan's The Lost Hero. The same warning goes for this big pink cupcake. Where's it going? DOWN! Down the hatch. The food tube. The gullet. Ending in the stomach and sweet sweet nirvana. In two, maybe three bites. Yum. After you buy the cupcake on pillows, tees and other inexpensive stuff here in my store, look at my Artspan web page: www.peterjketchum.com. Buy tees and things here on Tee Public first. It makes your gift-shopping a piece of cake. And the cost? Icing on the cake it's so low!
