I Can't Paint
 
2000 - Coloring Book with Crayons

What better way to keep that stuffy artist's ego in check than with a witty title like this? For this piece, I melted the crayons a bit to get that cool Jackson Pollack-meets-Pop Art effect that I've been aiming at for so long. I liked the melted-wax idea so much, I ended up using it on a few later paintings like Rebecca Smith and Horse Feathers.

Melting crayons probably isn't the safest thing to do on a Greyhound bus, but what are you going to do between Manhattan and Cleveland?
