| Thank
goodness for the real world. When your imagination fails, all you
have to do is look outside and find things you could never cook
up. Like George W. Bush. Did we really elect a "President"
who said we should "put food on your family"? And by "elect,"
I mean "stand by and cower in silence while the White House
is stolen by the Supremem Court and throwing African American voters
off the rolls?"
Maybe
I'm still a little sore about the Democrats rolling over and playing
dead for the better part of four years; especially when all Al Gore
had to do was say, "statewide recount," instead of blaming
everything on us poor Ralph Nader supporters.
Anyway....
Mike
Tyson is another goldmine. I'm one of the very few who will miss
the guy when he's finally gone. After all, where else will I find
titles like "Mike Tyson Eats Children"?
This
painting is a great example of what you can do with few supplies.
I only used two paints (green and black), as well as this can of
tile enamel (used for gluing kitchen tiles to the floor) that mixes
wonderfully with enamel paints. The end result is the acrylic answer
to the Watercolor on Canvas paintings.
There
is also something a bit eerie about this piece. If you notice, you'll
see what appears to be a face in the top half of the painting. I
never noticed this when painting, but when I got the slides, it
just stuck out like a sore thumb. But that's not the eerie thing;
what's spooky is that a lot of my paintings have faces stuck in
somewhere. Maybe this is just fallout for being forced to grow up
during the Rock-and-Roll Witch Hunts of the 1980s (or, for that
matter, the whole Reagan/Bush era). You can read more about this
on the This Smells Like
Denny's page.
Somebody
call the Fox Network! Scooby Doo, where are you?! |
