About The Artwork

[Matrix has thrown a pipe through Bennett] John Matrix: Let off some steam, Bennett. Cooke: You scared, motherfucker? Well, you should be, because this Green Beret is going to kick your big ass! John Matrix: I eat Green Berets for breakfast. And right now, I'm very hungry! Cindy: [hiding under a table] I can't believe this macho bullshit… John Matrix: [after killing Henriques in the plane] Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired. Bennett: [after he shot Matrix] John! How's your arm John? John Matrix: [hidden behind a wall] Come over and find out! Bennett: No thanks, I think I'll take a pass. John, stick your head out, one shot, right between the eyes, I'll make it quick, just for old time sake. John Matrix: Bennett, stop screwing around and let the girl go, it's me that you want, I only have one arm, you can beat me! [Bennett laughs] John Matrix: [Comes out from hidden place] Come on Bennett, throw away the chicken shit gun, you don't just want to pull the trigger, you want to put the knife in me, and look me in the eye, and see what's going on in there when you turn it, that's what you want to do, right? Bennett: I can kill you John! John Matrix: Come on, let the girl go, just between you and me, don't deprive yourself of some pleasure, come on Bennett, let's party! Bennett: I can beat you, I don't need the girl. [laughs] Bennett: I DON'T NEED THE GIRL! [throws Jenny away] Bennett: I don't need the gun John. I can beat you. I DON'T NEED NO GUN! [Pulls out his knife] Bennett: And I'll KILL YOU NOW! Bennett: I really love listening to your little piss-ant soldiers trying to talk tough. They make me laugh. If Matrix was here, he'd laugh too. John Matrix: [7:47] [reading about Boy George in a pop magazine] John Matrix: Why don't they just call him Girl George? It would cut down on the confusion. Jenny Matrix: Oh, Dad, that is so old. John Matrix: Ha Ha. You know when I was a boy and rock'n'roll came to East Germany, the communists said it was subversive. [thinks and smiles] John Matrix: Maybe they were right. Sully: Here, have some beers in Val Verde, Matrix. It'll give everyone a little more time with your daughter. [Henriques laughs] John Matrix: You're a funny guy Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last. John Matrix: Where is she, Sully? Sully: Kiss my ass! John Matrix: I can't hear you! Sully: I'll say it a little louder, get fucked! John Matrix: [holds Sully upside-down over a cliff by his leg] Listen, loyalty is very touching. But it is not the most important thing in your life right now! But what IS important is gravity! I have to remind you Sully, this is my weak arm! Sully: You can't kill me Matrix! You need me to find your daughter! John Matrix: Where is she? Sully: I don't know. But Cooke knows, I'll take you to where I'm supposed to meet him! John Matrix: But you won't. Sully: Why not? John Matrix: [holds the hotel key he stole from Sully that Cooke is staying at] Because I already know. Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? Sully: That's right, Matrix! You did! John Matrix: I lied. [Matrix releases Sully, who falls to his demise] Cindy: What happened to Sully? John Matrix: I let him go. Cindy: You steal my car, you rip the seat out, you kidnap me, you ask me to help you find your daughter which I very kindly do, and then you get me involved in a shoot out where people are dying and there's blood spurting all over the place, and then I watch you rip a phone booth out of a wall, swing from the ceiling like Tarzan, and then there's a cop that's going to shoot you and I save you and they start chasing me! Are you going to tell me what's going on or what? John Matrix: No. John Matrix: Don't break radio silence until they see me. Cindy: How will I know? John Matrix: Because all fucking hell is going to break loose. from ‘Commando’ (1985) Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger (Raw Deal), Alyssa Milano (Double Dragon), Vernon Wells (Innerspace), David Patrick Kelly (“Warriors, come out to play!”), Bill Duke (Predator), Dan Hedaya (Blood Simple), and Rae Dawn Chong (Tales from the Darkside: The Movie). Written by Jeph Loeb (Heroes), Matthew Weisman (Teen Wolf), and Steven E. de Souza (The Running Man). Directed by Mark L. Lester (Showdown in Little Tokyo). Commando is a 1985 American action film directed by Mark L. Lester and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rae Dawn Chong, Alyssa Milano, Vernon Wells, Bill Duke and Dan Hedaya. The film was released in the United States on October 4, 1985. The film was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Special Effects but lost to Back to the Future. The film's score was provided by James Horner. A commercial success, Commando was the 7th-highest-grossing R-rated film of 1985 worldwide, and the 25th-highest-grossing overall. Writer Jeph Loeb said his original script was about an Israeli soldier who had renounced violence. Steven de Souza rewrote the script, tailoring it to Schwarzenegger. Vernon Wells was the first choice to be cast as Captain Bennett, mostly because of his role in Mad Max 2 (1981). Mark L. Lester stated that Wells was "the only one that could have played against him [Schwarzenegger]". He further added Bennett was "in love with Matrix but he hated him, too. He wanted to kill him but he was in love with him.” Principal photography commenced on April 22, 1985 and lasted for 45 days. The film was shot on location in California. San Nicolas Island off the coast of Santa Barbara, to which Matrix flies to rescue his daughter, was filmed on the Pacific coast at San Simeon. The barracks that are "attacked" are actually beach properties belonging to the Hearst Castle Estate. The house that Matrix storms at the film's climax was actually the former main residence of the Harold Lloyd Estate in the Benedict Canyon district of Beverly Hills. The car chase scene between Sully and Matrix starts on Ventura Blvd and moves into the hills on Benedict Canyon. The Sherman Oaks Galleria, in Sherman Oaks, CA, served as the film's shopping mall location, and was used for six days after 9pm, after stores closed. The film was originally set to cost $8 million, but ended up costing $9 million once principal photography ended. 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…"
