Love is a Beautiful Thing

Since arriving here, my roommates and I have always joked about commissioning a painting of ourselves in order to give our massive living room a bit of a personality. We figured that, as graduate students earning masters degrees, Jim Belishi posters, bongs and stripper poles no longer counted as substantial décor. Plus a large, arrogant portrait gave off precisely the image we intended to exude to our guests.

Lucky for us, Mark Fenske’s assignment this week was to “seduce someone with love.” As it turned out, the partner our dear friend Jen was charged with seducing was my roommate Tristan, and as it turned out even further, the girl could paint. (All Tristan could do was climb a mountain for her. Laaaaaaaame.)

Check out this bad boy:

Thank God none of us had to shell out the $250 a-piece for a commissioned picture.

More cash for takeout Chinese, which, even though only about fifteen Chinese people inhabit Richmond, is actually pretty good.
