About The Artwork

Marty DiBergi : Now, during the Flower People period, who was your drummer? David St. Hubbins : Stumpy's replacement, Peter James Bond. He also died in mysterious circumstances. We were playing a, uh... Nigel Tufnel : ...Festival. David St. Hubbins : Jazz blues festival. Where was that? Nigel Tufnel : Blues jazz, really. Derek Smalls : Blues jazz festival. Misnamed. Nigel Tufnel : It was in the Isle of, uh... David St. Hubbins : Isle of Lucy. The Isle of Lucy jazz and blues festival. Nigel Tufnel : And, uh, it was tragic, really. He exploded on stage. Derek Smalls : Just like that. David St. Hubbins : He just went up. Nigel Tufnel : He just was like a flash of green light... And that was it. Nothing was left. David St. Hubbins : Look at his face. Nigel Tufnel : Well, there was... David St. Hubbins : It's true, this really did happen. Nigel Tufnel : It's true. There was a little green globule on his drum seat. David St. Hubbins : Like a stain, really. Nigel Tufnel : It was more of a stain than a globule, actually. David St. Hubbins : You know, several, you know, dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported. Terry Ladd : Yeah, listen, we'd love to stand around and chat, but we've gotta... sit down in the lobby and wait for the limo. Derek Smalls : Ok. David St. Hubbins : OK. Great. Duke, great to see you. Great to see you again Terry. Derek Smalls : We'll catch up with you on the road. Duke Fame : Cheers. David St. Hubbins : Duke! Great to see you. See ya. See you, Duke. Good days. Good days! [as soon as they are out of earshot] David St. Hubbins : Fuckin' wanker. Nigel Tufnel : What a wanker. David St. Hubbins : What a wanker. Derek Smalls : Total no talent sod. Derek Smalls : [from DVD commentary, about Marty DiBergi] He doesn't look Italian, does he? Nigel Tufnel : I think his real last name is DiBergarmo. David St. Hubbins : No! Derek Smalls : No, his real last name is DiBergowitz. Nigel Tufnel : Yeah! DiBergowitz. David St. Hubbins : No! He's like one of those... Derek Smalls : Yeah, he is one of those. Check it out: DiBergowitz! Derek Smalls : We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water. from ‘This is Spinal Tap’ (1984) Starring and Written by Michael McKean (The Brady Bunch Movie), Christopher Guest (The Simpsons), Harry Shearer (Azaria’s Godzilla), and Rob Reiner (Tiramisu). Directed by Rob Reiner (Stand by Me). Spinal Tap (stylized as Spın̈al Tap, with a dotless letter i and a metal umlaut over the n) is a fictional English heavy metal band created by American comedians and musicians Michael McKean (as lead singer and co-lead guitarist David St. Hubbins), Christopher Guest (as lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel) and Harry Shearer (as bassist Derek Smalls). They are characterized as "one of England's loudest bands". McKean, Guest, and Shearer wrote and performed original songs for the band. The band first appeared on a 1979 ABC television sketch comedy pilot called The T.V. Show, starring Rob Reiner. The sketch, actually a mock promotional video for the song "Rock and Roll Nightmare", was written by Reiner and the band, and included songwriter/performer Loudon Wainwright III on keyboards. Later the band became the fictional subject of the 1984 rockumentary/mockumentary film This Is Spinal Tap. This Is Spinal Tap was accompanied by a soundtrack album of the same name. In the years following the film's release, the actors have portrayed the band members at concerts and released music under the Spinal Tap name. Guest, McKean, and Shearer toured in the United States in April and May 2009 and performed as Spinal Tap in a "One Night Only World Tour" on June 30, 2009, at Wembley Arena in London, three days after playing the Glastonbury Festival. The trio also portray the fictional American folk music revival band The Folksmen; some Spinal Tap concert appearances have featured Guest, McKean, and Shearer opening for "Tap" as the Folksmen. This Is Spinal Tap (stylized as This Is Spın̈al Tap: A Rockumentary by Martin Di Bergi) is a 1984 American mockumentary film co-written and directed by Rob Reiner in his directorial debut. It stars Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Sheareras members of the fictional English heavy metal band Spinal Tap (who are characterized as "one of England's loudest bands"), and Reiner as Martin "Marty" Di Bergi, a documentary filmmaker who follows them on their American tour. The film satirizes the behavior and musical pretensions of rock bands and the hagiographic tendencies of rock documentaries such as The Song Remains the Same (1976), and The Last Waltz (1978) and follows the similar All You Need Is Cash (1978) by The Rutles. Most of its dialogue was improvised and dozens of hours were filmed. This Is Spinal Tap released to critical acclaim, but was only a modest success upon its initial release. However, it found greater success and amassed a cult following after it was released on VHS. In 2002, it was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress, and was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry. In 2016, film critic and author Jeremy Arnold chose it as one of the "52 Must-See Movies", describing it as "one of the single most influential movies of the past thirty-five years" and arguing that it "effectively launched a new genre—the mockumentary”.

Ricky Ricardo: Fred, I've got an awful problem on my hands. Fred Mertz: You should have thought about that before you married her. Ricky Ricardo: How do spell s'perience? Lucy Ricardo: E-x-p Ricky Ricardo: E-x? You're kidding. Ricky Ricardo: Something's wrong with the electricity. My shaver isn't working. Lucy Ricardo: Something's wrong with the gas. My chicken isn't working. Lucy Ricardo: Did I get any suntan? Ricky Ricardo: No. Lucy Ricardo: Oh, darn it. Ricky Ricardo: [with his thick accent] Honey, why don't you forget about getting a suntan. You always get burned with your fair skin. Ethel Mertz: Where you afraid you'd lose me? Fred Mertz: I'll say, that outfit you're wearing is rented. Lucy Ricardo: Will you at least wait for us? Bus Driver: Go ahead. TRY me. Lucy Ricardo: Go ahead. Try me. [Lucy was imitating the angry bus driver] from ‘I Love Lucy’ (1951-1957) Starring Lucille Ball (Five Came Back), Desi Arnaz (The Long, Long Trailer), William Frawley (Rose Bowl), and Vivian Vance (The Great Race). I Love Lucy is an American television sitcom that originally aired on CBS from October 15, 1951, to May 6, 1957, with a total of 180 half-hour episodes spanning six seasons (including the "lost" original pilot and Christmas episode). The show starred Lucille Ball, her then real-life husband Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, and William Frawley. It followed the life of Lucy Ricardo (Ball), a young middle-class housewife in New York City, who either concocted plans with her best friends Ethel and Fred Mertz (Vance and Frawley) to appear alongside her bandleader husband Ricky Ricardo (Arnaz) in his nightclub, or tried numerous schemes to mingle with, or be a part of show business. After the series ended in 1957, a modified version continued for three more seasons with 13 one-hour specials; it ran from 1957 to 1960. It was first known as The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show and later in reruns as The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour. I Love Lucy became the most-watched show in the United States in four of its six seasons, and it was the first to end its run at the top of the Nielsen ratings (an accomplishment later matched only by The Andy Griffith Show in 1968 and Seinfeld in 1998). As of 2011, episodes of the show have been syndicated in dozens of languages across the world and remain popular with an American audience of 40 million each year. A colorized version of its Christmas episode attracted more than 8 million viewers when CBS aired it in prime time in 2013, 62 years after the show premiered; CBS has aired two to three colorized episodes each year since then, once at Christmas and again in the spring. The show, which was the first scripted television program to be shot on 35mm film in front of a studio audience, by cinematographer Karl Freund, won five Emmy Awards and received numerous nominations and honors. It was the first show to feature an ensemble cast. It is often regarded as one of the greatest and most influential sitcoms in history. In 2012, it was voted the 'Best TV Show of All Time' in a survey conducted by ABC News and People magazine. 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…"
