i LIKE sMILING, lAUGHING, AND hAVING FUN. 

I bet you do too. Let's work together by creating something completely original. Have an idea for a thing you want to look at on your wall? Want to memorialize someone or something or some time? Like to scare the crap out of people by, for instance, presenting them with a poorly-executed portrait of them with the body of a legless lizard? Let's party. I want to party.

rIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES

When I painted this, I showed my friend and asked him for a suggestion of what to call it. He said, "Oh, it's like that astronaut diaper b1tch*." I don't follow the news, so I was unaware of the recent story (where some woman who worked for NASA put on a diaper and drove really far while pooping and peeing in her diaper so she could confront some other woman with a gun). Having no context for his seeing THIS and suggesting THAT, I had a brief moment where I thought I was having an auditory hallucination. Thankfully, I love the title -- ADP, for short -- regardless of its connection to the tragic actual events.

This one glows in the dark

I find inspiration from all over the everywhere, including during car rides through downtown Chicago. This one was borne from a conversation that included: "Hey, did you see that movie Anaconda?"/ "No. It's about a robot snake or something, right?"/"I don't know. Like Roboconda?"/ "They should remake it with Condaleeza Rice. Robocondi."/ "Or a snake that's addicted to Robitussin."/ "Yeah, Roboconda is always robotrippin'."/ "I like this idea. But you should call it 'How the West Was Won: Part II.' That's a better title."
