Keep Yourself Alive

Oil on Canvas 18 x 24 inches  February 8 2018

I spent most of February 2018 listening to Queen and trying to paint "Fightclouds",  That's what cartoon people call these complex combinations of motion and body fragments. They're very self-referential.....Id versus Ego, straight versus gay......etc and they are at the core of the relationship between Bluto and Popeye. They are often fighting, ostensibly over Olive Oyl but she usually disappears as soon as the fighting begins and it goes on and on getting more ridiculous and entertaining....... it's just a way for these 2 guys to be together.
