King Tut's Beard

The Horror!

To Where My Feelings Began; Egyptian Art Has Always Been Important To Me. Prolly Ever Since I Saw Stargate, That Shit Was/Is/Always Will Be My JAM. Hieroglyphics Are My Ol' Reliable Inspiration. As I've Gotten Older The Enduring Awesomeness Of Egyptian Art Has Been A Reliable DayDream Generator When I've Been In Times Of Need/Boredom/Awe.

My First Semester In College I Took An Art History Class. We Started From The Bottom. The Venus Of Willendorf And Onto Mesopotamia And Then Finally To The G'Damn Reason For The Season, EGYPT. The Pyramids Are Cool. Hieroglyphics Are Bomb. AND KING TUT'S DEATH MASK IS THE GREATEST SINGULAR PIECE OF ART IN THE HISTORY OF HISTORY. I Had Seen The Death Mask More Times Than Counting Could Count. Everyone Has. That First Art History Class Finally Allowed Me To Feel All The Feels I Hadn't Been Able To Explore And Express And King Tut's Death Mask Was Always The Most Special To Me. Its So Fucking Dope. The Yellow Gold, His Expression,The Headdress, The Big Ol' Ears, And His Beard.

The Death Mask Is The Epitome Of Art. I Dunno If Everyone Feels This Way, I Have Great Respect For Art That Seems Beyond Me. I Love Painting And I Love Drawing, Always Tho, Because It Seems Within My Reach, They Seem Possible, I Can't Fully Give Myself Over To Them. Great Painting And Great Drawings Of Course Reach This Next Untouchable Godly Level. The Death Mask Is Godly. Its Perfect, OR AT LEAST IT WAS!

SOME MUTHA FUCKER FUCKING TOUCHING WHERE HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TOUCHING TOUCHED THE BEARD AND TOOK IT WITH HIM REMOVED THAT SHIT FROM THE DEATH MASK AND FREAKED OUT AND GRABBED SOME EPOXY GLUE AND SQUIRTED MUTHA FUCKING GLUE ONTO THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF ART OF ALL TIME THEN JAMMED THAT BEARD BACK ON THERE AND THEN HE NOTICED HE'D GOTTA A GLOB ON TUT'S CHEEK SO HE TOOK A SPATULA TO IT AND GOUGED THE DEATH MASK NOT TO MENTION THAT YOU CAN SEE A CLEAR YELLOW TINTED GAP BETWEEN THE BEARD AND THE CHIN WHICH IS APPARENTLY PERMANENT.

Because The Death Mask Is The Prized Jewel Of It's Museum They Are Not Letting Out Any Pictures Of The Death Mask, They Haven't Released A Statement. So This Is All Hearsay. I Hope It Is.

I Need To Travel So I Can See All My Favorite Art Before Some A-Hole Squirts Glue All Over Them
