This corkscrew was drawn by the same person who did a painting called “Watson and the Shark” but I will talk about that painting next time. The thing about this painting is it is on a piece of a door jam because when the artist was drunk at a party they needed a corkscrew so the guy was like “wait I’ve got a idea *draws a corkscrew* there” and somehow it looked GOOD even though he was drunk. Since it was so good they cut it off of the door jam and put it in a museum. I may not be old enough to drink but I know I could probably not draw that good if I was drunk.

I love rustic and this seems like a piece of art that has a rustic spin to it. Very cool. Thank you for sharing. I like the metal against the wood…nice contrast.
