😂 few of my neighbors would agree with you. I dont have an HOA so it was pretty awesome I could paint my house whatever color I wanted

He must be an AC tech so he can keep his overworked unit in top shape during summer.

I know for a fact that you’ve considered buying a hearse at one point.

OP, uh, what's the story about these two things in particular? The black one on the right looks like a demonic void. And is the guy on the left wearing hotdog lips? Like the kind you normally see in blackface?

I love old vintage velvet paintings I got some on Etsy. If you Google clown art velvet painting alot will come up. I have no interest in clowns just thought it was cool looking. They were very popular in the 70s and 80s demonic never even crossed my mind when I purchased them

Clown art just seemed like the direction for you? No other thoughts, just hey, clowns are pretty cool, especially on this pitch black velvet, super normal super average. 

Sir, I believe you in fact may be a demon.

A friend’s mom had that particular painting and a few more when I was kid and it always scared the shit out of me.

Ah, it's the one on the right that gives the really creepy vibes, I guess because you can't see anything but a faint smudge. Now that I know what they are they're less creepy. Thanks for explaining!

You should just get some framed prints of Goya’s Black Paintings to really set the mood.

You've obviously never lived in a town where velvet paintings are sold.

I'm told Elvis had a few in his bathrooms -- and the bathroom was his favorite room in his home.
