"A Naomi in Wolf's Clothing?"

Recently Al Gore hired feminist Naomi Wolf as a "valued adviser" to help woo female voters. Tardum scratched his head, perplexed when his choice of Naomi The Wolf did not have a similar desired effect.

"Tardum Mudrat" - is a cartoon character that Andrew Olscher says "was created while doodling during English class back in elementary school." Tardum has taken on several different incarnations over the years. He has recently caught up to the twenty-first century through the use of 3D modeling and rendering technologies. Andrew plans to use Tardum as a continuing character in an upcoming series of both archive, quality prints and commercial artworks and related products.

All images were created  by Andrew Neil Olscher with Metacreation's Poser, and Ray Dream Studio Software and Adobe Photoshop.

"An Issue of Tissue!"

Tardum always wondered how the Queen managed to walk in that "haughty taughty" way. After being honoured by the American Bathroom Association with a VIP gold plated toilet bowl at visit to the national convention, he thought he knew why. It was definitely the matching gold leaf bathroom tissue!

Feeling his presidential campaign was getting a dismal lack of support from the younger generation, Tardum decided to try a cool new image.

pachem - Latin word meaning peace. A very hip lyric used a lot in liturgical (church) music back somewhere near the beginning of time - as in "pachem man!"

Mudder - NOT profane ghetto language.
A very technical term for Tardum Mudrat Supporter.

"The Bumpy Road to Success!"

"AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - George W. Bush sustained minor injuries when he dived to avoid a truck trailer that overturned near his jogging path."

Wishing to receive as much coverage in the international press as theRepublican presidential front-runner, Tardum decided to let Myra have a run at him with the campaign tank. Unfortunately Tardum neglected to dive!
