I have etched some drawings in public bathrooms before. But this, this is really a work of art. I like the interpretation above. I would say that it is smooth like butter on a roll.

Addressing your point to Kim, are you suggesting that ‘friend’ in this particular instance is really more of an adversary?

Perhaps not the “canvas of choice”, but the “canvas of necessity”? If you can pardon the pun.

Can you say swirley?!? Ha-ha. Great take on the artwork. I wonder what their dinner conversation was if it ended up with one of the diners getting a head bath in the toilet!

@ Conall:

I really doubt whether those who consider public toilets as their canvas of choice would ever read HD Thoreu …

That is actually a really great interpretation! It all makes sense now. I would however, have to consider that friend as a “friend” and not a real friend.

@ Liam

I also found this quote which might shed some light:

This world is but a canvas to our imagination. — Henry David Thoreau

Don’t try to hold the artist back!
