ABOUT THE ARTWORK

[repeated line] Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: I'm right on top of that Rose. Walter Crandell: [at the hospital with a broken leg] I fell off the roof! Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: [glares at Kenny] What was he doing on the roof, Kenny? Kenny Crandell: I don't know, I wasn't with him, but I should've been! I mean not on the roof, but I should've been keeping an eye on him, spending quality time with him, reading Green Ham and Eggs to him or some shit like that. Dr. Permutter: [about Kenny] Is he your son too? Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: No, he's my stepson. Kenny Crandell: Yeah, that's why we don't always get along. Kenny Crandell: Don't you ever go outside? Walter Crandell: Nope, no TV, and no prizes. Zach Crandell: We told you to talk to her. We didn't want you to send her to the glue factory. Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: I didn't kill her, Zach. She died in her sleep. Melissa Crandell: Probably choked on her whistle. Mole: Park it yourself, Metallica breath! [standing in front of Mrs. Sturak's unmarked grave] Mortuary Worker: I'm really gonna miss her. Mortuary Worker: Miss her? You never even knew her! We never knew her name. Mortuary Worker: Yeah, but she left us all that money. Mortuary Worker: Hey, you wanna go to Vegas again this weekend? Mortuary Worker: Sure. You got any more money left? Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: You have spent over three thousand dollars? Zach Crandell, Kenny Crandell, Melissa Crandell, Walter Crandell: [sheepishly look at her] Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: You're grounded! You are ALL grounded! How could you steal from me? Kenny Crandell: Well now they didn't really steal. They "borrowed". They were just following your irresponsible example. Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: Oh, shut up Kenny! I am in deep SHIT! Melissa Crandell: Quit your job. Get out while you can. Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: I'm an embezzler. They're gonna throw me in prison. Zach Crandell: Nah, the judge will probably go easy on you considering that you're a minor. Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: I'm not gonna give up. I'll keep working. I'll... work overtime if I have to. A few more paychecks, I'll be able to put it back and no one's gonna know, right? I'm innocent! Rose Lindsey: Why don't you go on home, have a glass of wine and put some cucumber slices on your eyes, you'll feel much better. Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: Well, I'm all out of cucumbers. Rose Lindsey: Sue Ellen, every girl over twenty-five should have a cucumber in the house. Walter Crandell: She doesn't look dead. Zach Crandell: That's because it just happened. So you can't really tell, like on "MacGyver”. [after being told to do the dishes, and using them as clay pigeons] Kenny Crandell: Dishes are DONE, man. from 'Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead’ (1991) Starring Christina Applegate (Married… with Child. Damn Man.), Joanna Cassidy (Who Framed Roger Rabbit), David Duchovny (Grodin’s Beethoven), John Getz (Men at Work), Josh Charles (Dead Poets Society), Concetta Tomei (Max Headroom), Jayne Brook (Clean Slate), Robert Hy Gorman (Forever Young), Kimmy Robertson (The Tick), Keith Coogan (Toy Soldiers - that Apache though), and Danielle Harris (Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers). Written by Tara Ison (Doogie Howser, M.D.) and Neil Landau (The Secret World of Alex Mack). Directed by Stephen Herek (Mr. Holland’s Opus). Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead is a 1991 American coming-of-age black comedy film directed by Stephen Herek and starring Christina Applegate, Joanna Cassidy, Josh Charles and David Duchovny. The plot focuses on seventeen-year-old Sue Ellen Crandell, who assumes the role as head of the house for her siblings when the elderly babysitter her mother hired suddenly dies of a heart attack. Although only a moderate success theatrically, the film later achieved a cult following on VHS and cable television. Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead was released in theaters on June 7, 1991, and grossed $25.1 million on a budget of $10 million. Despite its receiving generally negative reviews from critics upon release, the film has gone on to gain a cult following. The core idea of the film was, according to writers Neil Landau and Tara Ison, born in the mid-1980s; Landau was inspired by the 1983 film Risky Business, where a high-schooler protagonist is similarly thrust into the adult world, and manages to hold his own. The first draft, titled The Real World, was finished in 1987, and auctioned off to 20th Century Fox, but was soon put away. Fox had wanted a lighter-themed film than Landau and Ison originally had in mind; they had envisioned "an actor like Winona Ryder in the starring role." Landau would later also be uneasy with Stephen Herek, then known for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, being set to direct the film. In 1989, the film was picked up by Outlaw Productions, who attracted Christina Applegate to the project through her then-co-star at Married With Children, Ed O'Neill. Joanna Cassidy was cast as Rose Lindsey after a suggestion by Landau. The film was one of David Duchovny's early roles, before he achieved mainstream success; casting director Sharon Bialy had trouble convincing the studio to hire him. Jennifer Love Hewitt was originally cast as Melissa, but had to back out as Disney Channel would not release her from a television show she starred in. After the production ended, the studio was forced to change the name because of conflict with the MTV's new TV series of the same name, and settled on the current title. Landau was initially unimpressed with the lighthearted title, but accepted it after seeing Johnny Carson make a pun on the title on TV. 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…"
