About The Artwork

Billy Butcherson: Go to hell! Winifred Sanderson: Oh! I've been there, thank you. I found it quite lovely. Bus Driver: [Encountering the Sanderson Sisters] Bubble, bubble! I'm in trouble! Winifred Sanderson: Well, tell me friend, what is this contraption? Bus Driver: I call it a bus. Winifred Sanderson: A bus. And its purpose? Bus Driver: To convey gorgeous creatures such as yourselves to your most... [cracks his knuckle] Bus Driver: Forbidden desires. Winifred Sanderson: [laughs] Well, fancy! We desire children. Bus Driver: Hey, it may take me a couple of tries, but I don't think there's gonna be a problem. Winifred Sanderson: Why? Why was I cursed with such idiot sisters? Sarah: Just lucky, I guess. Master's Wife: Aren't you broads a little old to be trick or treating? Winifred Sanderson: We'll be younger in the morning. Master's Wife: Yeah, sure, me too. Sarah: [singing in the sky] Come little children, I'll take thee away / Into a land of enchantment / Come little children, the times come to play / Here in my garden of magic. Max: [Over P.A] Welcome to High School Hell. I'm your host, Boris Karloff, Jr. Ha ha ha ha ha! Dani: You saved my life. Max: I had to. I'm your big brother. Dani: I love you, jerkface. Max: I love you, too. Winifred Sanderson: Therefore, it stands to reason, does it not, sisters dear? That we must find the book, brew the potion and suck the lives out of the children of Salem before sunrise. Otherwise it's curtains. We evaporate! We cease to exist! Dost thou comprehend? Mary Sanderson: You explained it beautifully, Winnie. They way in which you started out with the adventure part and slowly. Sarah: Explained what? Winifred Sanderson: Come, we fly! Emily: Thackery Binx, what took thee so long? Thackery Binx: I'm sorry, Emily. I had to wait three hundred years for a virgin to light a candle. Winifred Sanderson: You know, I've always wanted a child. And now I think I'll have one on toast! Winifred Sanderson: Damn, damn, damn, double damn! Winifred Sanderson: Oh, look. Another glorious morning. Makes me sick! Dani: You're my kitty now. You'll have milk and tuna fish every day. And you'll only hunt mice for fun. Voice of Thackery Binx: You're going to turn me into one of those fat, useless, contented house cats. Dani: [Giggles] You betcha. from ‘Hocus Pocus’ (1993) Starring Thora Birch (Now and Then), Sarah Jessica Parker ("You took me to Las Vegas and you turned me into a whore!"), Charles Rocket (Orbach’s Delirious), Stephanie Faracy (Bart's Great Outdoors), Kathy Najimy ("And what a lovely name, Reno!”), Omri Katz (Matinee), Penny Marshall (A League of *Her* Own), Vinessa Shaw ('Dream, dream, dream, dream'), Garry Marshall (Exit to Eden - "Probably the oddest *film* in the Universe." - Ebert's review sums it up quite nicely.), Doug Jones (Blair’s Hellboy), and Bette Midler (Beaches - "Niagara Falls Frankie Angel."). Written by David Kirshner (An American Tail), Mick Garris (Amazing Stories), and Neil Cuthbert (Mystery Men). Directed by Kenny Ortega (This Is It). Hocus Pocus is a 1993 American fantasy comedy film directed by Kenny Ortega and written by Neil Cuthbert and Mick Garris. The film follows a villainous comedic trio of witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy) who are inadvertently resurrected by a teenage boy (Omri Katz) in Salem, Massachusetts, on Halloween night. The film was released in the United States on July 16, 1993, by Walt Disney Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from film critics at the time of its release. It was not a critical or commercial success upon its release, possibly losing Disney around $16.5 million during its theatrical run. However, largely through many annual airings on Disney Channel and Freeform (formerly ABC Family) all throughout the month of October, Hocus Pocus has been rediscovered by audiences, resulting in a yearly spike in home video sales of the film every Halloween season. The annual celebration of Halloween has helped make the film a cult classic among Americans born in the 1980s and early 1990s. A sequel, written by Jen D'Angelo, directed by Anne Fletcher and set for a 2022 release, is currently in production as a Disney+ original film. 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…"
