Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

My friend told me a story yesterday about Salvador Dali, it’s quite amazing

he said that towards the end of his career he was completely broke, he had no money, but by this point he was as famous as can be, and extremely well known.

What he would do, is he would take out his friends to a really expensive restaurant and say, ‘everythigns on me!’ so they would have the finest champaigne, wine, cavier, lobster, whatever, they got it.

By the time the bill came they would say, oh it goes to Dali! so they would give him the bill for about £5000 or the equivalent, and he would ask if they took a cheque, and of course they’d accept. He’d write it all out, then just as he went to give it to them, he’d take it back and do a sketch on the back, and sign it Salvador Dali, so when they went to collect all the cheques/money at the end of the night they’d go 

“Look! there’s an original Salvador Dali on the back of this!” and they’d pin it on the wall (hence never cashing it-meaning the meal was essentially free) and apparently there are hundreds of these cheques all around Spain, and that if any ever cashed the cheques he would have gone bankrupt.

I think that’s fucking amazing.

Trollvador Dali, ladies and gentlemen.
