the "red man" is my shadow. i painted with a light behind me and really just traced my shadow onto the canvas. the cat in the car is daniel, hello kitty's boyfriend. and the unreadable text on the left was some jeanette winterson quote from "written on the body" i've forgotten which one (which is either meaningless or mysterious) but it's an amazing read. i recommend it. (the book, not my painting)
and yes, a couple of them do have titles. the one with the four mini canvasses running down the left side is called "can i bum a smoke?" and the mostly blue one, the last one is called "we got ideas." i took the line from the pixies' "u-mass." and the portraits are taken from an old ali mcbeal tv guide cover, stilla cosmetics, disney's pocohantas concept art, some girl from my college, and a note i wrote to someone at work.
And finally, Lewis, i've tried taking them further, and i only seem to mess them up. there's something i like about the unfinished quality. almost like sketches on canvas. there's that, and i have a reeeeally short attention span.
perhaps we should all follow skier's lead and post more of our sketch books??
