i'm impatient sometimes out of necessity, case in point:

| i burned the midnight oil for this painting, literately. |
my first solo "show" was in a coffee house in moses lake. this was when i was still doing my work in oil paint, which of course can take forever to dry... i've heard stories about oils taking
years to dry. long story short, i had did this double portrait of an ex girlfriend and it was awesome and i put it in the show. this girl is somewhat, sensitive (nice way of saying "batshit crazy") about people seeing her face.. the kind of girl who doesn't like pictures being taken of her... who thinks she's ugly to the point of narcissism (which is bs because i don't have un-attractive friends ha)... SHE FUCKING STEALS THE PICTURE OFF THE WALL OPENING NIGHT. hahaha so yeah i had to paint
something, so i did a quick oil portrait of myself... then to circumvent the dry period, i took a BLOWTORCH to the thing.
i'm pretty sure i didn't sell anything and after the show i think it ended up in the trash.
