A lot of my inspiration comes from people I come across in my life... could be those I've spoken with, could be the junkie on the street begging me for change with the dead look in their eyes, could be the snarky STCUM employee who hates the arduous task of making change and being paid 25 bucks an hour to do it, or the grunting man at the gym in his quest for Calvin Klein perfection but immediately heads to McD for his post workout pig out. People should not be surprised if they see a part of themselves in my paintings, but should never by so egotistical to think that the painting is about them. This is very small scale, about 3"x3" and was bought via auction by someone who abandoned it like a baby in a dumpster.
