Bathed in the orange glow of the late afternoon sunshine, he sat alone on the park bench watching the ladies walk by. His magnificent toupee served as a fiery beacon attracting sideways glances from both strolling pedestrians as well as bees. It sat perched atop his head like a lady's bonnet, the crown fitting snugly, then giving way to an impressive ruffle of crispy see-thru curls tumbling down his forehead. Because he was so involved in eyeballing dames, I was able to snag a sketch of him without being noticed. Medium: graphite and watercolor on paper.

Looks like a head full of spicy curly fries. And bees: Remember Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the guy with the flies attached to strings attached to him? How bizarre was that? Maybe the bees were trying to figure out of there was nectar on that noggin!

Somewhere Donald Trump is saying: "Epic hair! Why didn't I think of that?"

This guy looks like an ex Gambino crime family member hiding out on the witness protection program. Couldn't he have chosen a bit more of a natural looking color? I never knew that Carrot Top's dad was in the mafia. Nice sketch, 14!

if your rug attracts bees, that would be a sign that maybe it's NOT a good idea....
