Artist's Comments

This is obviously a riff on Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss," which is one of my favorite paintings. I discovered artists like Klimt and Egon Scheile by watching cartoons like "Aeon Flux" and "Reign: the Conqueror." When I found out Peter Chung (the mastermind behind those toons) was heavily influenced by German Expressionism, I looked into those artists and discovered some new favorites--which is why the peice has "3.0" in the title.

I love this. You should do more arty-farty stuff like this too.

I have a bunch of paintings and stuff that I haven't scanned. I was showing at a gallery for a little while, but that relationship kinda went sour, so I haven't been producing as much artsy-fartsy lately.

It was a really small gallery, and I still have stuff hanging there. My stuff just wasn't selling, so they asked me to do a few jazz paintings to cater to the clientelle (I like jazz and blues, so it wasn't a big deal), but those didn't sell either. I did a few more paintings for specific shows they were having, and those didn't sell either. So all of the custom paintings I did are sitting in a closet at the gallery, and the few paintings they still have up are in dark corners and such. That's just the way it works out sometimes, y'know? Oh well.

Well art isn't big at the moment. Not unless it's of cow carcasses on canvas or boobs and asses.
