About The Artwork

Amelia: [on phone] So, how’s Alaska? Ted: Basically, everything’s white... including my father! [Amelia drops phone] Ted: Ma? Are you still there? Amelia: [picks up phone] Are you sure? Ted: Sure, I’m sure. Amelia: Well, that explains why you were always so crazy about that Michael Bolton. George: I'm an attorney, the justice of the peace and a bush pilot. A classic triple threat. Amelia: I got on a plane, and 14 hours of prayer later, here I am. Thunder Jack: Well, well lookie here. Come to sell me them dogs. Ted: [all disappointed] You? Your James Johnson? Thunder Jack: I don't much like people calling me James. Ted: What... [Gasps] Ted: You're white. [chuckles] Thunder Jack: [takes glove off; sarcastically] Will you look at that! Ted: Do you know who I am? Thunder Jack: Yeah. You're the fella that's going to sell me those dogs. Ted: No. I'm your son. Thunder Jack: Well, so, how much you want for them? Ted: You knew? You knew the whole time, and you didn't say anything? Thunder Jack: I don't see any good coming from dredging up ancient history. Ted: Is that what I am? Ancient history? Thunder Jack: I tell you what I'm going to do. I can go up to $300 for the lot. Ted: The dogs? Don't you think of anything else? Thunder Jack: You got no business with them. I mean, they're special animals. They need to be taken care of. Ted: You're a real piece of work. You know I don't believe we're related. There must be some mistake because you are definitely not my father! Thunder Jack: [cracks neck] Well, tell you the truth, I don't give much a hoot one way or the other. All I'm saying is that you don't belong here. I'm sure you've got a nice, little condominium someplace with a remote control, color tv, and a nice electric blanket. So, why don't you pack up your big city butt and go back there. Ted: No. I'm not going anywhere. Thunder Jack: You are a stubborn fool. Ted: No, you're the stubborn fool! Thunder Jack: You must have something wrong with that head. Ted: No, you got something wrong with your head! Thunder Jack: No, you got something wrong with your head! Ted: No, you got something wrong in your head! Thunder Jack: [laughing] No, you got something wrong with your head. Ted: Oh, well, you know what they say. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree", Jack. Or should I call you Father? Or how about Papa? Or maybe even Daddy-O. [laughs; Jack punches him he spins around wimpers and falls on the ice] George: [reading will] "First, to Peter Yellowbear, my neighbor and fellow snow golfer, I leave my lucky putter. But don't expect it to improve your game.” Amelia: [to Alaskan cab driver] I am so sorry, but all I’ve got is American money. George: [reading will] "To Barb, my dear friend and boss, I give my shearling coat, which kept me warmer than any man ever did." [Barb describes the dog food] Barb: Mostly the stuff the butcher can't sell. Hooves, lips, organs... slump. Ted: In Miami, we call them hot dogs. Thunder Jack: I can't believe you actually bit that dog on the ear. Ted: But that's what everyone says you're supposed to do. Thunder Jack: Well, sure, but... I never met a man dumb enough to do it! Demon: You really stepped in it this time! George: [reading will] "And to Thunder Jack, I leave my outhouse and all its contents." from ’Snow Dogs’ (2002) Starring Nichelle Nichols ("That was the Star Wars' Trek."), Brian Doyle-Murray (“Your honor, Your Honor.”), Michael Bolton (Office Space), Cuba Gooding Jr. (Boyz N the Hood), Frank Welker (Futurama), Bart (The Bear), Jim Belushi (Mr. Destiny), James Coburn (The Great Escape), Sisqó (Surf School), M.

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…"
