		<description><![CDATA[Caught........on the horns of 'THE DILEMMA'!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_22" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 235px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-22" src="http://alabaster.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/img_1694-225x300.jpg" alt="'THE DILEMMA'!" width="225" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">&#39;THE DILEMMA&#39;!</p></div>
<p>We&#8217;ll be set up at the Carefree Art and Wine show this weekend and are very proud to introduce &#8216;THE DILEMMA&#8217;, Paul&#8217;s newest Doodleysquat, for the first time to the public. We decline responsibility if you somehow feel so attracted that you find yourself caught on it&#8217;s horns!</p>
<p>To give you a little context, the Doodleysquats are our <a title="Contemporary American Fantasy Art" href="http://alabaster.net"  target="_blank">contemporary American version of Chinese house gods</a>, spirit protectors.  They are sure to protect you and your home from whatever you might need protecting, i.e. tax collectors, mother-in-laws, bad vibe neighbors, whatever.  They are also the becoming extinct species of individual expression.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve gone through a rough time in this country for a while now.  The Doodleysquats have helped to protect us, working behind the scenes.  Powerful yet unrecognized.  The emergence of  &#8217;The Dilemma&#8217; into public view is a very good omen for all of us.  With &#8216;The Dilemma&#8217; fully revealed for the first time and in full public view we can take an honest accounting of ourselves and commit to positive change.  With &#8216;The Dilemma&#8217; as witness to our follies we can no longer hide lest we risk being caught on it&#8217;s horns!  Ouch!</p>
