Nope, nothing out of the ordinary here
This was an idea i gathered from looking around the town i live in; those of u who are familiar with the place might recognize this spot For those of u who aren't so familiar with my little corner of reality, this is a bus stop not far from a couple of our local schools (yes, the benches really are red) with some creative leeway taken for the sake of the image...and my patience And before anyone asks, no, we don't have any local dogs who hangout at the bus stop wearing hats or reading newspapers...i can dream i s'pose
Sketched in pencil, base-coated in watercolor, top-colored with oil pastels, and touched up and finalized with white acrylic paint and black ink.

Summation of the name and image:
The world is a rather unusual place; by the hand of God we live in amazement both of the natural and unnatural that is displayed around us everyday. Unfortunately, we as humans find ourselves quite content in a life of comfortable order we create for ourselves within the confines of our own minds, often times exporting those images to the lives of those around us. We create for ourselves a structure of what we consider "normal" and expect the rest of existance to abide by those same bindings, and that those who don't cannot gain the title..but this can never truely be, for not one person's idea of this concept is ever exactly the same as another's. That in and of itself reflects the greater truth of the matter: the fact that truth is always true, no matter how much a person may try to evade it; a person can call a banana an orange, but he can't expect the world to automatically follow suit. We were created in a world where nothing is ever quite as simple and closed-in as our minds wish to accept. In the end, the true meaning of normality is that by the grace of God, nothing is normal at all.
