Bad Kitty - Completed

Bad Kitty is now completed and features the reappearance of the glyphs from the "My Inner Child Is A Serial Killer" series.

I think I've satiated my need to get some quick drawings out, and I'm still debating on posting the full image of "Control Freak"... I tend to unfortunately get inspired by all forms of human fuckery and can apparently be somewhat naive in my trust that people are compelled to behave with honesty and integrity. Long story short, they usually don't and I get to see a glimpse behind the mask, the ugly side of human spirit, and I am compelled to exorcise it from my brain in the form of art.

Sometime the people who have inspired a piece will see themselves in it, even though it is not a caricature of them and is never done out of malice, spite or the desire to hurt... it is something that I have seen, a flash, a brief view, an empathic snapshot of their inner workings that create my art. I build on the idea and eventually the piece takes on a life of its own and tells its own story.

So I won't post "Control Freak" right now. I've posted a small bit of it, both on my Facebook page and in this blog, but I don't like to show all my cards.

Bad Kitty was inspired from "Control Freak" which features a kitty under a chair with a mouse in its mouth. There are also many marionettes in "Control Freak". It really is quite funny and spectacular and you will have to come to my next show to see it.

I've taken a step back from painting in recent weeks... rediscovering my love of drawing, working in new mediums like clay. I needed to step back and get inspired again. Time to finish up some old visions that are half completed, and produce some new paintings.
