I'm intrigued.
wow... that is remarkable
you are truely a wonderful artist!!
i can imagine having legs like that would feel pretty awkward
impressive. confused but i like it
Is there a back story to this?
Mega Man would be pleased.
Interesting artwork.
Something of a sadistic nature comes to mind when I connect the picture and the caption.
alter ego
i demand an explanation!
so he's badass
the fact that you comment a moment before me (grammatically incorrect, i'm sure) makes my heart skip a beat :) if i weren't wrestling with a toddler for my keyboard, it may have been instantaneous.
I love how your sense of humor shows through, even in piss. Shall we see more from dear Legless? I'm starting to like him...
♥ V
and his fine fashion sense!
cool pic. write more about it please.
Im feeling a comic strip coming on?
L x
Beautiful art, as always.
If I'm getting the "Legless" part correct, wonderful irony metaphor as well...
I'm not sure what exactly to say to this picture. I've seen a ton of drawings that have baffled me, but this one's a real head tilter. I assume a "good job!" is in order, but I'm a tad unsure...
-D
The perspective is captivating and the shoes are fashionable. We couldn't ask you for more.
How do you come up with these ideas?
^
Honestly. I'm captivated.
your alter ego has mighty-fine shoes.
honestly, no one but Lord Legless could make such grimy conditions fabulous.
I decided to stop being lazy, and get my own account so that I didn't always have to post under anonymous.
I don't have a lot to add to the previous posts. Impressive. Really. I'm wondering where this stuff comes from.
Hm. I really like your line style. Do you use microns? I love microns.
In any case, this is definitely sort of a mysterious piece. My mind keeps telling me that it looks like lord legless peed on the wall. But then the other half of my mind says.. "no. Ewww..."
I think it's best you leave it without much description, that way everyone can oggle it and give it their own deep meaning. Or... shallow meaning, in my case. >.>
Lord Legless? I swear I read a book a few years ago with a character of that name. It's been awhile but I do believe the book was called The Broken Mirror... something like that.
Humm, quite confusing, yet this picture could tell so many stories.
Alter ego indeed. I've seen you wear those exactly pants and shoes.
I don't need to tell you you're fantastic. I'm pretty sure you tell yourself that every day. ;)
Having fun in Europe?
Lord Legless has some sexy legs. >.<
Makes short people like me jealous.
Actually, I enjoy being short. Looking up at boys (...since I'm straight and female) is much better than looking down. And short jokes are funnier than tall jokes (and make much more sense). =^] This is actually the first year I've had classmates shorter than me... and I don't like it.
The point is, I love Lord Legless already. Him with his badass ways and gorgeous fashion sense.<3
and you kiss your mother with those legs?
and for the amount of "iron"y in the name lord legless you could at least put a crease in his pants.
"...and the award for lamest comment humor goes to..."
Ha!
It's all being woven together now. Is that a spotlight or searchlight, aswell?
I want to know more of this legless fellow
Hahaha.
And where does the Sacred Rose Tat Queen fit into all of this?
A police search light I think. Given what I think the the spot on the all is, a police search light would make sense.
Could this be a of a jekyll and hyde sort of relationship, only, with personality characteristics that are more similar to each other?

In this house,Lord Legless would be grabbed by the nap of the neck, ass slapped and booted outside with the competing pee peeing puggies. This art work makes me think of New Orleans.
i <3 lord legless
EUREKA!!!
I figured out what the liquidish stuff is (possibly)!!! And I really can't believe none of us figured this out sooner, it was so simple. Which is probably why it went over our heads, we were looking for some abstract, out of the ordinary, complex answer when it is simply elementary (OH MY! I'm Sherlock Holmes!)
It's a potion to separate the demon within. The evil side from the good side. So when he changed from the original form of himself (sort of a Dr. Jekyll... but more unique) into Lord Legless (sort of a Mr. Hyde, but once again... more unique) he threw this magical potion against the stone wall (of course, a laboratory of some sort) cause it tasted horrible (all the good and working potions things do) and then stormed off to cause chaos in some town (aka- do what The Matches do when they get on stage, cause us to go chaotic) until he goes back into the original him. So this "wild and wily river" is just a big puddle of spilled chemicals. And the doctor is himself, cause of the whole "Dr. Jekyll" thing.
So since our dear Shawn here came up with it he's trying to say some sort of he's not like how we see him? Maybe thats why Lord Leglass has such fancy style, it's Shawn's stage style. I'm sure when he's home, alone, he'd much rather read a nice relaxing book/do some relaxing artistic craft/watch a movie/catch up on some show he likes/watch sports/ etc. in Tom Cruise form... boxers and a huge nice shirt (white tank thingy underneath optional, I don't know how those males do this thing) with nothing else but socks and sunglasses. But when he's with us, he really can't do that (it would be rather amusing though) so he dresses up nice and in fancy cloths (which we all adore) then causes us to loose our minds at just one glance. And he's trying to tell us that without really telling us that. And he knows how we over analyze everything because we think of him as some sort of genius so he used his fantastic genius ways to fool us and do something simple.
...simply amazing.
^prove it. prove that it's not piss.
...it's to low to the ground for Lord Legless?
How am I supposed to know?!? I was just making a suggestion that made more sense to Shawn's "alter ego" comment to me than pee.
...oh, and prove it's not a potion. =^]
the comments are sometimes almost more interesting to read than the blog's themselves.
good theory. sort of a double 'over analyzation' for lack of a better, or real, word.
I always return for the comments. =^] *bows* Thank you. I thought of it while looking for my dream dictionary so I could analyze a dream... haha.
Uhm, who's over analyzing again? Oxymoron right there.
Comments are definitely, sometimes, almost more interesting to read...
Oh my life is full of oxymorons. =^]
Haha. I guess. I started reading the comments cause I was bored and some of the pictures caught my eye. Now I read them cause these people have some really odd things to say. =^]
There isn't a glass/container for the "potion" to be in. Also, what would the point of the circular light be? Let's see how far we can stretch this story. It will be amusing.
Chris from Tucson
Also, the caption might be a clue.
C from T
This "spotlight" you speak of is what I always took as fire burning on a torch. And maybe the glass drifted off with the chemicals, it is a pretty nice little stream.
I'm thinking in real life the potion is liquor.
Not saying he's an alcoholic, just liguor would make much more sense than any other liquid... and people throw liquor when they're drunk. And if the bottle is thin enough and breaks the glass will be practically invisible.
Again, let's stretch the story as much as possible. It'll be amusing.
dear lord...i dont think its that complicated!
"shawn" just peed on a wall and is running off before someone finds him.
this is going to be another one of those posts where shawn sits back and watches us all scramble and bicker with each other...i'll bet he's having a great time too.
"10 bucks and he'll write your name in it!"
Question: How would the search light make any more sense if he did, in fact, just take a leak on the damn wall?
This is just one of these pictures completely open to speculation. I'll try adding on some ideas when I'm feeling creative.
My original interpretation was that it was a police search light... as in he is slinking off before the cops catch him... because relieving yourself in public is illegal. That just what I had in mind. And when I said it would be amusing I meant it in a fun way, not a derogatory way. No one is fighting over the meaning, at least as far as I can tell.
Chris from Tucson
potion...regardless of taste, needs to be inbibed in it's entirety. it's not like it's a renewable resource. there is only so much potion in the world and i don't think shawn is the type to go around wasting it. there are starving people in 3rd world countries that would kill for potion. haven't you been following the news?
however...piss is at an all time high. so much so that it flows like rivers, vandalizing perfectly good walls making them unfit for posters or casual ne'er-do-well loitering sessions.
wake up and smell the coffee folks...or should i say...urine.
Wow, you people, just wow. Comments with several hundred words as to what he's trying to say? Really? Potions? No, seriously...
you're just hatin' because you couldn't think of anything imaginative to say. looks like somebody is eating a peanut butter and jealousy sandwich.
Peanut butter and jealousy? Did you come up with that all by yourself? All I'm saying is that sometimes things are what they are. No deeper meaning.
you mean like a facetious interpretation of a drawing...or a joke?
geez louise lady!
oh and is M. Night Shyamalan your dad?
the sixth sense was decent but that lady in the water flick got a little annoying.
You're new around here aren't you? I know the difference between making a joke and being serious. I have a feeling some of these people are serious. I am admittedly a bitch, so I am not surprised you don't like what I have to say, but I'm not trying to be a "hater".
So, this is getting too long, and I hate to be the type of person that holds a conversation through comments.
Oh, to answer your question though. Unless M. Night Shyamalan died in 1983, I'm guessing he's not my dad.
i am glad you can tell the diffence. with that being said:
1. i am sorry to here about my your father and if my joke was offensive. forgive me?
2. marry me?
1. you're forgiven.
2. sure, why not.
For the record, i'm assuming that this is entirely for fun, and just a bunch of bored people trying to over analyze a drawing. Maybe that's just me.
There's no reason to get defensive about your interpretations if someone disagrees. Get over it! You might be right, but you might be wrong too.
The simplest hypothesis, the one that requires the least amount of assumption, is usually correct.
I'm with the piss crowd. That's something I doubt Shawn would do normally, so it fits with the idea of an alter ego, and the beam of light could be from the polic trying to catch him as he sneaks around the corner.
But that's just me.
That's what seemed obvious to me and since and no one seemed to be "getting it" I decided to post, which i hardly ever do. And not I feel bad because I've started an argument between two people who are now getting married? and seem destined for divorce court. I just thought the whole potion thing was a little far fetched and that it would be amusing to see where people would go with it. You know... entertainment for the bored.
Chris from Tucson
i agree with katie
...Wow. I was gone for less than a day and you people dragged it out to the point of an argument?
Maybe I should just stop posting my thoughts about things...
And I didn't really think about it enough to consider it analyzing. I was cleaning off my desk and heard a song say something about Mr. Hyde and I thought "What a nifty alter ego that would be" and then I remembered the blog and just let my mind wonder... so I tried to explain it the best way I could.
I didn't really think about it, it was just some random thought that I thought made sense. It's my interpretation.
I really don't see why we always fight over the stupidest things. We all have our own working brains and own opinions.
We should all just get along.
I mean, we all like The Matches or we wouldn't be here, right? So I think that makes us practically family!
...Virtual group hug, anyone? *holds arms open wide*
Why do I waste my life reading these comments?
In any case. I think we all pretty much got it Chris, and one has the right to be imaginative and find their own meaning in anything so the anonymous person that posted the story about the potion shouldn't be harassed about it.
Overall, I don't even know why I'm making this comment. I guess because I really love this band and thus care enough to obsessively f5 this blog for updates. I bet Shawn does read this and laughs at how belligerent and idiotic his fans are.
bah
Sorry kids, didn't mean to get you so upset. I was up late working on a project for work, got bored and decided to take a break. Saw this and decided to stir the pot up a bit.
It really is masochistically amusing to come back to read the next batch of comments...
I officially adore Sarahtonin. Pretty much the only one to point out I was being harrassed and that all the chaos should end for the simple fact it's stupid and pointless. =^]
And I'm gonna have to agree with the other anonymous... it's just as fun to read the comments on an... oh...hourly, at most, bases. =^D
^I do the exact same thing =/
trust me.
Oh drama. Shawn, your blog comments have become like an episode of the Hills, only more entertaining and not scripted.
Forgive me, readers of this nonsensical comment, but I'm up late writing my paper and envisioned Lord Legless attempting to get into the aforementioned 'Git Low. (In hindsight I don't know why such a day dream (night dream? early morning dream?) warranted a post but perhaps it will bring a smile to your face)
As much as I love the image of Legless attempting to git into such a clown car, a new blog would be much loved...

Hurrah! Bringing even short-lived moments of joy into people's minds and hearts makes me happy.
I decided to read (skim) the comments after all. I say it looks like he bashed someone's head against the wall (explaining the police searchlight) but hey, it could also be an attempt at a mural of an island with a Seussical looking tree by someone with limited motor skills. In this case, I'll assume the police searchlight is, in fact, a spotlight showcasing Legless's attempt to clean up and brighten the urban landscape.
Haha... Lord Legless in Git Low is an odd some-time-of-day dream. But I love it. =^]
Oh, and Allyson, thank you for making me feel like I'm not the only one. =^D It's fantabulous.
I do fancy the piss idea or the blood, not sure which one would get my vote though. Maybe it's none of the above, maybe it's just left open to interpretation.
i saw someone wearing shoes exactly like those today... I got so excited. My friend thought I was crazy... he just didn't get it?
Oh and also I drew a picture of you on some geometry program thing at school. It was amazing. My teacher got pissed and made me delete it :( stupid bitch.
Those shoes left a nasty as fuck bruise on my left shoulder and a bump on my head at warped tour.
^there's to love. start spreading the word.
Jacking off in a corner, eh?
Nice. You're an excellent artist. I am so jealous.
