THE
TRAPEZE BROTHERS
Standing against a glowing planetary spotlight,
high above the tangled laughter of the clowns,
the brothers Wojakoski contemplate their next
daring maneouvre. There sickly blue faces are
a telltale sign of a rippling un-easiness spurting
through their veins! Will this be there last high-wire
performance? Based on the shocking true story
of two raspberry ice cream cones in the Arizona sun!

THE BLUE GIRAFFE
A Space-Man with a Poloroid camera
might see this
whimsical creature in the light fandago of Mars or Mercury.
Through a palate of hypothalamus tones littered with
palm trees and rusty-mud fields
comes a blue
fox-trotting anomoly. I created an ample
life-jacket flavoured sky to combat the bleak
jockularity of this long-legged struggler as she
searches the upper branches for mammal bananas
wandering through the emaciated rabble of a planet
as strange as ours...but hers is real!

LEGGED DOG IN NEW YORK
The eyeball is gently massaged
from the socket
and focus is directed towards the Lite-Brite explosiveness
of the girl's polka-dottied dress and the exuberance
of a hopscotch skipping spree through Central Park.
Then we see a small dog involved in a macabre
pas de deux and our minds chill reflexively!
The red-bloodied bandage wrapped on the stump of
the canine creates a noxious gut reaction until
the puppy's happy panting assures us that all is
well! They're as happy as Grubworms in the Big Apple!

YO SOY UN HOMBRE
A civil-rights march in a faraway place...
three characters marching on a deserted street
in front of a pink adobe bungalow while
Mama's clean bedsheets flap in the wind.
The incongruency is almost palpable as
We are unsure of the motives of the protesters...
is it a simple affirmation of their unique existences
or rejection of all that is superficial and un-adhesive?
I used a sheer perspective and alien brush techniques
to leave the question unanswered!

TROUBLE AT APARTMENT
EIGHT
A
knock, a wheezing cough, and through the
peep-hole a stranger is seen pushing against
the door-chain! Fear throbs in our heroine
as she is confronted with a dapper
trickster attempting to burst the door!
As is the case in most appartment complex
nightmares the result of this torrid intrusion is
nothing short of death...but whose?
Let's just say we won't be
calling the movers tonight!

ALL I GOT IS
SCRATCHY VINYL
At first glance
we see only a droll impossibility,
a rib-tickling stucco plastered onto our retinas,
but soon the hallucinatory depth of form and hue
poke holes into our own fictional suppositions!
Standing precariously aloof in a wooden boat,
holding a record-album of dubious content,
a trench-coated woman quietly asks us to
reflect on the worth of CD technology and
the rampant Garage Sale of Souls!

ELVIS LOVE CHILD
My first painting!
A stupendous boogie-filled Christmas in Canada's
Northwest-Territories. Note the pure ecstacy on Za-Za's
face, dancing with wreckless abandon to the
tune of Hound Dog. The crisp stars gleaming
through plastic covered windows and a gritty
cinema-verite poster taped to the wall create
an intimate portait of our happy holiday.
Feel the queasiness I created by only painting half
of the "Please Serve Yourself" sign that was
pinched off a Frozen Yogourt Machine!

BURGER LESSONS
Using a "bottom of the pool"
blue mixture to contrast
the stark naked simulated "changeroom" tiles
I feel I have exquisitely captured the un-natural
horrors of having Miss. Pistache explaining
the finer points of condiment strata configurations!
By confronting the viewer with such an
abundance of sesame coated bunwhiches
I have diverted attention from my technical
short-comings and focused all eyes on the
dark recesses of a million rumbling stomachs!
Hold the secret sauce Sammy!

THE MERCURY CONCUBINE
Swirling amonia winds tease the flourishing gardens
and stoke the solar fires of fleshy desires deep inside
the small planets' famous Red Light District.
A beautiful and well-read damsel stands in the
shadows of nervous nakedness. A single question
riccochets through this prism of neglected mascara:
Is it the hour for Marie3 to recieve a payment or
the time for her to dish out a payback?

GREEK
HOLIDAY DAY THREE: OUZO LEFTOVERS
Witness beauty and desperation in Mademoiselle Auguste
as she navigates the the Greek town of her ancestors.
Notice the confused and slightly delirious look
as she attempts to deal with the pounding
hangover after her night of runaway abandonment!
The spur-of-the-moment excitement is perfectly
reflected in the choice of a minty green dress
trimmed with "faux fur-du-castor" and the foreboding
shadows streaming from the twilight sky
complete the surreal-bafflement I was aiming for!

NATASHA: GYPSY
ASSASSIN
I've created a sticky-thick atmosphere here and
the liberal use of a coagulating color scheme make
the stink of Eastern Bloc Realism almost too much!
A dimly-lit office, a beautiful dark haired gypsy,
and a table-top festooned with high calibre bullets
can only mean one thing: Trouble!

On
the artistic process: "I'm not into painting
because it provides me an outlet for the twisted
blossom filled dreams dancing to the angelic harp music in my head
...no way!...I dig painting cuz' it allows me sit in my third floor studio
watching re-runs of The Twilight Zone while I load my nervous
sytem with voodoo beverages and splash wild colors
all over a canvas, the floor, and my clothes... and I have
a valid excuse for not answering the phone!
Plus...I can stroll about with ripped, torn, stinky, filth-encrusted, paint
stained clothing with
complete immunity (even if I haven't touched a brush in months)
because people assume that I'm one of those pretentious assholes
who like to walk about making sure everyone knows that they are painters!
I don't actually like painting....my shrink makes me do it!"
