The Skull Taking Tree

Kalin Thompson from Brisbane, Australia created this acrylic on wood piece, titled "The Taking Tree". Kalin says, "It's kind of a spoof of Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree". The hotness is in the details."

This is definitely a place I would want to hang out in. However, the humor is definitely in the details. The sign on the house says "No Grownups Allowed", so I guess I will just have to be satisfied with the farm house or hot air balloon. The "I'm with stupid" shirt made me smile. The other shirt says "Ou est le boeuf?", which translates to "Where is the beef?". If you remember that old Burger King commercial, then you understand the humor. I like the Chinese dragon laying on a branch, like a griffin, to protect the "castle". The boxer flag is a good way to stake your territory and air out your laundry. I used to have a tree house, but nothing as fancy as this.
