Description

At three feet by six feet this self portrait is very strong. You either have to have a strong personality, like me a lot, or just love the western connection. I created this in my backyard studio in Venice California between 2002 and 2004. I moved from small format (paper) to large mixed, formats usually painted on my backyard fence. The walk streets of Venice beach was still a rough ghetto and had not been yuppiezed! Still full of artists, writers, activists, editors, actos, nerds and young professionals, who used to hang out in the backyard and talk politics, life, art, etc., while I painted on the fence, bar-b-qued, drank wine, smoked, laughed. It was a magical time. I call the \"fence period\" all the art I made during that time. Some of that art is here, most of it is locked in storage in L.A. Un-photographed, trapped by life/legal bullshit. Keep watching for it though! There is new talk about freeing the art! Think good thoughts!
