Horses
FOUND by Dustin M.
in Conroe, Texas
I found this while walking along the side of the road. It made me wonder why it was lying in the grass on the side of the road, as opposed to on some parents' refrigerator.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Great drawing, nice color and energy - makes me think, "Oh, look at the pretty horses," which leads to All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy, reminding me of his latest book, The Road. And now I am depressed.
Awesome picture! .. but it makes me wonder.. the whole thing is so good.. wtf happened to the middle horse's hind legs? It's like the whole thing was drawn by an eighth grader, who then turned it over to a third grader for that last hores's legs. A collaborative effort?
it looks traced. btw, The Road wasn't worth all the hype, if you ask me
Good? This is a reflection of the sad state of art education in the United States. Do you think van Gogh would have simply drawn a horse? No. He would have cut off his ear and mailed it to a horse. That is art.
Simply majestic.
It was my drawing, and i traced it. But i forgot to finish the legs of the middle horse. U know how tracing goes. One moment the mood strikes you, the next...it does not.
I'm such a smartass.
The middle horse is obviously in the midst of a jump. Duh!
Clearly this is a picture of two horses and the middle horse is a two-person horse costume.
It appears some dude and his midget friend had dreams of running with the horses.
Is that a Horger!?
Um, three of the five horses of the apocalypse ?
Oh wait, I remember the middle horse is bucking so its back legs are really behind it. Jesus Murphy! Let's see you people do any better.
Aww, I like the tigerhorse in the middle. He's ready to kick somebody.
To the smartass van gogh guy-
Thats why the guy who found this said it should be hanging on someones refrigerator. not the louvre.
Yeah, looks traced to me, too.
The middle horse has the markings and coloring of a Tiger. I have a friend who makes ceramic aircraft figures, but paints them with the markings of a monarch butterfly. This reminds me of that.
I see it was found in Conroe, Texas which is not far from Houston. This was probably a drawing for the county fair that didn't place. Winners go on to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. It was probably thrown on the ground in disgust by the artist. There goes his/her scholarship.
I bet whoever sent this in was the actual artist, notice his name is Dustin (a real common cowboy name in these parts). In his disgust for not placing he said "I'll show them, I'll send it in to FOUND."
At my school there are a number of children who delight in drawing repeated pictures of horses. They have usually perfected one particular stance, but if they try to alter it in any way it can result in disaster (like the middle horse and it's back legs). I don't think this is traced at all, or a collaborative effort, just an attempt at something new.
Pippi!!! I am dressing like you for two Halloween parties today! Funny you signed in. I am surprised that you have a computer, though.
My favorite part is the black shapes on the middle and righthand horse.
I don't think these 3 majestic animals were tracsed at all....the middle horse, or should I say the orange coloured horse is jumping over a log that was in his way so he jumped it. My sisters' and I have owned many beasts and I can truly see this as a normal jump.
I'm telling you guys the finder is the artist. He probably has a brother named Cody.
you're right, 'this is not the kind of stuff...' You have to be dead to have your stuff in the louvre.
this is awfully nice, tho. Maybe in a few years, when the artist is dead, this will be worth something.
because it sucks, Dustin. That's why. Your parent's threw your shitty little traced drawing of horses out because it sucks. Deal with it.
I write terrible books! And I suck!
Marie in C-ville: I think those black marks are an attept at 'shadowing'
I hate horses. When I was in Third grade, there were two types of girls. Girls who liked horses and girls who didn't. And the girls who didn't were the outsiders.
The rebellion never ended!
Kite, when I was in 4th grade, the girls went so far as to "play horses" at recess. I'm talking galloping around and neighing, etc. The "alpha horse" was always a rich girl who took riding lessons after school, and we less fortunate nags followed her around, living vicariously through her privilege.
As a Find, this one is rare. I love it and think it's t-shirt worthy, even.
Thanks for sending it in, Dustin.
Half of you folks are being very rude! The nerve of you to say such things about the finder and the artist. I am sure every single person who has commented this find has traced a picture, one time or another. This reminds me of those days when tracing was legit in art class.
Great find. Oh, and I agree with Night, this is almost t-shirt worthy.
Alright, time for me to come clean. It is I who is the artist. After getting a cramp in my hand drawing the two almost three horses, I decided to finish using my toes.
LOL Ghost. the girls at my school would "play" horse also. Same girls who would some how always get to the swings first and never let anyone else swing! ugh!!
(I just SOUND bitter)
This is hilarious. I'm playing "I Wanna Run Free" by Maria Daines on my iTunes, which is a soaring tune about horses. I click on Found and guess what pops up! Runnin' free at its best...
Rex Winsome, I'm ashamed of you. I thought you were one of the nice guy, telling Justin he sucks. Mona wouldn't do that.
Cait, you weird.
I'm Rogerian, Pepper. Unconditional positive regard. Something i learned way back when, and try to live every day. Doesn't seem to work with my husband, tho. he doesn't seem to be swayed by it.
I love Dustin's art. Or whoever really drew it. Rex is my homeboy, fellow thespian, and all. I love Pepper, and his insanely weird comments, and tendency to just be obnoxious. I liked SALT, till he dissed my friend too bad. That kind of crap i don't like. But, yeah, Pepper. I wouldnt tell Dustin his art sucked. Even if it did. There's always something positive to say. (Is that bordering on Pollyannaistic?)
Thanks, Nightingale and Cait -- I agree!
And I love Mona.
And Pepper too, strangely.
And Rex, mostly, notwithstanding.
It's a lovely picture. I wish I could draw horses like that. But I can only draw elephants
)'j'( )*j*(
i can only draw elephants in boa constrictors.
I love yall too. I do have to say that more than once, and I mean many times, my comments are not my own. Someone is beating me at my own game. However, I'm not saying that the comments that are insanely weird are not mine. I just don't feel like pointing it out when it's not me. To be honest, I really don't care. I assume the regular posters on Found know each others "voice" by now. As to the find, it's not a bad picture, at least you can tell they are horses, but I have to agree with Sue Bee a finder named Justin sending in a horse find? That is such a Rodeo name. By the way Mona, who did Salt dis, and I hope I'm not being too personal (or insanely weird), but how big around in inches did you stomach get with twins.
I remember playing horsey on the playground in grade school too. I also remember playing with plastic horses with my barrel racing friend across the street. By the time we finished playing with them most of them had only three legs. I had a real live shetlan pony name Patches when I was five and I shit you not, my dad brought him home to me in the back seat of his car. It was a Chevy Impala.
Please let's not rehash dead krep on this comment board. Pepper, if you really wanna know (as if you don't already) travel back in time.. to a time shortly before "you", pepper, arrived on the scene. You'll find it.
No reason to resurrect anyone long gone or any old issues here, when we're appreciating legless horsies. So stop trying, wouldja? Let. it. goooooooo.
Pippi and Marie, I was Pippi for Halloween in 6th grade! I made my own costume and sewed it by hand, with patches. I always wanted freckles and I did look very good in them. I stuck wires in my braids to make them stick out. But they poked my head and it hurt, so that didn't last. This was back when Pippi lived only in books and Pippi wigs did not exist.
Back to the find, it's on notebook paper, probably some talented kid's doodle. It's really hard to trace through notebook paper. I have seen doodles similar to this when kids are bored in class. Some kids are so into art that their doodles look like most peoples' best attempt at drawing.
Pepper, you were there. You know about the big diss, you were the very next poster.( I went back in time to check it out. ) So why bring the shit back up?
Sorry man, but he has dissed so many....I just don't remember. Not to mention, that next poster may not have been me. I have it on good authority that a person I know in a near by town also posts under my name just to jack with me.
I wonder how many pictures i've lost have been over analyzed on FOUND? :)
boring, do a search, using "I push back". Click on the first result. This will take you to September 16, 2001. Then click the right arrow, lots and lots and lots of times. Let us know what you Find.
Pepper, i dont know how big around in inches. I was too overwhelmed to measure. I was too taken aback by the weight i gained. Put me in a huge depression.
Rehashing, dont blame Pepper, it was me that brought that back up, i'll keep your true identity a secret, about that.
Hey, Pepper, i'm reading the history of SALT. My offspring are like...why are you reading about salt? that's bizarre. lol
Thanks, Mona. Love, Nikki.
Pepper,
I'm not Mona, but when I was pregnant with my twins my stomach measured 44 inches on the day I had them and they were 7 weeks early!! SO yeah, I was a cow! Mooooo
Tori, i beat you, i'm sure. because my waist was that, after i had them. My girls were 7lb11oz and 5lb. i was the whole herd.
I didn't have twins, but a ten pounder and my waist measured 48 inches the day I delivered.
Mona, each twin was 7lb 2os? OUCH!
one was 7 11, the other was 5.
Ten pounds?!? Ouch! I'd rather have two half that size, thank you very much! Like I said, my girls were very early so one was 3 lbs. 5 oz, and the other was 4 lbs. 3 oz. They were a piece of cake. ;o) I'm told that if they had been full term they would have been just over 7 pounds though. UGH!
I think it's cool that "Found" published this find on the day of the Breeder's Cup races in New Jersey...seems appropo, n'est ce pas? They definately look like horses racing, though I see no jockeys.
Just coming back to read new comments , and D , I think you're referring to me, but if you look at my occasional logon, it's DINK. Not just D.
sarasara, I am one of the people who can see elephants through boa constrictors. I hope you know some others.
this looks exactly like how i used to draw horses when i was about 9. i drew horses constantly! and i agree with pippi...i always drew horses in the exact same stance and got that down to a science, and if i tried to alter the way their legs went at all, it ended up looking horrible. i wouldnt be surprised if this is actually one of my drawings from 10 years ago...
horses suck. i would be a horse exterminator if someone paid me.
cassisu, if you can look at a kitten inside a box, then can you tell if it's alive or dead?
You might just be about to rewrite the laws of quantum physics.
I can't actually see elephants inside boa constrictors but I can usually kind of guess if there's one in there.
[)*j*(]
Rule of thumb. Never own any pet bigger than yourself.
This is some great work. =] Looks like the kid got his/her inspiration from one of those "How To Draw Horses" books. I definitely still have one of those, I loved horses as a kid. =] Took lessons for quite some time.
Filet mignon yesterday and horses today! Reminds me of my student days in Grenoble where the cheapest steak – frites at the local diner was horse beef and perfect fries.
