About The Artwork

Alice: Hey, I watched Hannibal last night on satellite TV. Hana: I watched it too. Pretty scary. Alice: It was pretty creepy. Hana: Yeah, it was. Alice: You know what? Hana: What? Alice: Zombies and ghosts are… Hana: Yeah? Alice: …not as scary as freaky human beings, don’t you think? Hana: I agree. Alice: You know, like stalkers. Hana: Exactly. [As they pull out cameras to photograph boys they are stalking] Alice’s Father: And talking about Chinese classics. I mean, it’s Chinese! Reading those symbols, it’s so complicated nobody ever gets it. I wish they taught us real Chinese with proper pronunciation, you know? I used to deal with companies in Shanghai. It would’ve been useful if I had learned proper Chinese at school. Ballet Teacher: Ladies! [Handing out ballet slippers] Here. Another one. For you, Alice. Nagayo. And for you, Hana. Congratulations everyone. [After the teacher leaves the room] Nagayo: She won’t let us quit, will she? Alice’s Father: I never understood why we have to learn calculus. Forever a mystery. Alice: He always gets on at Fujiko. You can have his brother. Hana: No, thanks. Is he a foreigner? Alice: He’s a mix. Hana: He wouldn’t look like that if he was pure Japanese. Alice: He’s so hot. Hana: Look at his shirt. It’s pink. Alice: My goodness, he’s hot. You can have his brother, okay? Hana: No, thanks. Alice’s Father: Oh, you better say "Zai jian” in this circumstance. Means “see you again”. from ‘Hana and Alice’ (2004) Starring Anne Suzuki (Hanging Garden) and Aoi Yū (Penguin Highway). Written and Directed by Iwai Shunji (A Bride for Rip Van Winkle). Hana and Alice (花とアリス, Hana to Arisu) is a 2004 Japanese teen romance film by director Shunji Iwai. The film, shot on HD digital video by the director of photography, Noboru Shinoda, who shared a longstanding working relationship with Shunji Iwai, concerns the life of two girls, the titular Hana (Anne Suzuki) and Alice (Yū Aoi), and the stress placed on their friendship as they move into high school. Originally shot as a series of short films for the 30th anniversary of Kit Kat in Japan, it was later expanded into a feature film by Iwai and received theatrical release in Japan in 2004. It moved into theaters in other Asian territories later in 2004 and 2005, and into western film festivals, such as New York Asian Film Festival and Seattle International Film Festival. (Spoiler Alert) When Alice develops a crush on a stranger at the train station, she offers her best friend, Hana, the stranger's "half brother," Masashi. Hana declines, but after watching Masashi from a distance, she develops feelings for him. She stalks him by traveling on his regular train throughout the winter. During the spring, Hana and Alice enroll at Masashi's high school. Hana learns that Masashi is a member of the story-telling club, which prompts her to join as a member. As she continues to track him secretly, she witnesses him crash into a garage door, which leaves him unconscious. As he awakes, he finds Hana leaning over him. She reveals that a blow to Masashi's head has given him a case of amnesia and that she is his girlfriend. Hana and Masashi soon hang out as a couple while she continues deceiving him about their relationship. Alice becomes involved with Hana's lies by pretending she is Masashi's ex-girlfriend. Through a series of events, a love triangle unexpectedly develops between Hana, Alice and Masashi when Masashi falls in love with Alice who he still believes is his ex. Masashi eventually learns Hana's lie about his amnesia and reacts accordingly, which tests Hana and Alice's friendship and their relationships with people around them. Source: Wikipedia

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
