About The Artwork

McKussic: [Carlos & McKussic struggle for a gun, which fires towards both of them] Shit Carlos: Oh, Jesus Christ, look at that. You shot me. McKussic: So what? You shot me! Carlos: Look at that! Look at my stomach! McKussic: You went too far, God damn it! Because you're my friend, that means you get to kill anybody you want? I mean, what the... Carlos: [interrupts] Will you stop talking? It's making me sick. McKussic: Jesus, that looks bad. Carlos: That's what I been telling you, for Christ's sake! Jo Ann: What is it? You need some chap stick or lip gloss or something? Because your lips keep getting stuck on your teeth. Or is that your idea of a smile? Carlos: I think it's time for both of us to quit. I've seen it coming for some time now, cocaine is no goddamn good for anyone. The future, the future is grass... grass, buddy. I got sixty ton of Thai stick coming in... it's on the way. [slumps over dead] Dale McKussic: Nobody wants me to quit. You know, don't quit, don't get caught, stay on top long enough for us to knock you off - I mean, that's the motto around here. Nobody wants me to quit. The cops want to bust me. The Colombians want my connections. My wife, she wants my money. Her lawyer agrees and mine likes getting paid to argue with him. Nobody wants me to quit. I haven't even mentioned my customers here. You know they don't want me to quit. Jo Ann: That is completely paranoid. Dale McKussic: Hey, I'm just talking here. I'm not trying to convince you of a goddamn thing. And I may be paranoid, but then again nobody wants me to quit. Nick Frescia: Generally I recommend my men stay away from vodka, and stick with scotch and bourbon. Jo Ann: Why is that? Nick Frescia: So the brass will know they're drunk and not stupid. Carlos: You son of a bitch! How could you do this? Friendship is the only choice in life you can make that's yours! You can't choose your family, God damn it - I've had to face that! And no man should be judged for whatever direction his dick goes - that's like blaming a compass for pointing north, for Christ's sake! Friendship is all we have! We chose each other. How could you fuck it up? How could you make us look so bad? Nick Frescia: How's our friend? Woody, Harbor Patrol Officer: Fine. Nick Frescia: Fine? Woody, Harbor Patrol Officer: Aside from a concussion, powder burns, and being generally pissed off, yeah. Carlos: Don't worry, buddy. I won't kill her unless you approve. McKussic: And if I don't approve? Carlos: Then we'll talk until you do… Nick Frescia: Let's not talk about my business, or his business or your business. Jo Ann: That leaves us nothing to talk about. Nick Frescia: Let's eat. Jo Ann: I'm sorry. I was just joking. I didn't mean to hurt you. Dale McKussic: Aw, come on. It didn't hurt that bad. Just looking at you hurts more. from ’Tequila Sunrise’ (1988) Starring Michelle Pfeiffer (Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas), "Did Braveheart run away?" (Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome), J.T. Walsh (Blue Chips), Raul Julia (Street Fighter), Arliss Howard (Full Metal Jacket), Gabriel Damon (Mr. Belvedere), Arye Gross (Just One of the Guys), and Kurt Russell (Elvis). Written and Directed by Robert Towne (Chinatown). Tequila Sunrise is a 1988 American romantic crime film written and directed by Robert Towne. It stars Mel Gibson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Kurt Russell, with Raul Julia, J. T. Walsh, Arliss Howard, and Gabriel Damon in supporting roles. The original music score was composed by Dave Grusin. The film, only the second (after Personal Best) to be both written and directed by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Towne, was commercially successful, grossing over $100 million at the box office worldwide, but critical reception was mixed. One reviewer was of the opinion that, "perhaps because the elements were so irresistible—Robert Towne directing Gibson, Russell and Pfeiffer in a California crime film—an aura of disappointment settled over Tequila Sunrise, no matter how engaging, and profitable, it turned out to be." Tequila Sunrise was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography. The film's soundtrack spawned the single "Surrender to Me", performed by Ann Wilson (lead singer of Heart) and Robin Zander (lead singer of Cheap Trick), reaching number six on the BillboardHot 100 in early 1989. Robert Towne (born Robert Bertram Schwartz; November 23, 1934) is an American screenwriter, producer, director and actor. He was part of the New Hollywood wave of filmmaking. He is best known for his Academy Award-winning original screenplay for Roman Polanski's Chinatown (1974), which is widely considered one of the greatest screenplays ever written. He later said it was inspired by a chapter in Carey McWilliams's Southern California Country: An Island on the Land (1946) and a West magazine article on Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles. Towne also wrote the sequel, The Two Jakes (1990); the Hal Ashby comedy-dramas The Last Detail (1973) and Shampoo (1975); and the first two Mission: Impossible films. Towne directed the sports dramas Personal Best (1982) and Without Limits (1998), the crime thriller Tequila Sunrise (1988), and the romantic crime drama Ask the Dust (2006). The tequila sunrise is a cocktail made of tequila, orange juice, and grenadine syrup. It's served unmixed in a tall glass. The modern drink originates from Sausalito, California, in the early 1970s after an earlier one created in the 1930s in Phoenix, Arizona. The cocktail is named for its appearance when served—with gradations of color resembling a sunrise. History: The original tequila sunrise contained tequila, creme de cassis, lime juice, and soda water, and was served at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel where it was created by Gene Sulit in the 1930s or 1940s. The more popular modern version of the cocktail contains tequila, orange juice, and grenadine, and was created by Bobby Lozoff and Billy Rice in the early 1970s while working as young bartenders at the Trident in Sausalito, California north of San Francisco. In 1972, at a private party at the Trident organized by Bill Graham to kick off the Rolling Stones' 1972 tour in America, Mick Jagger had one of the cocktails, liked it, and he and his entourage started drinking them. They later ordered them all across America, even dubbing the tour itself their "cocaine and tequila sunrise tour". At the time, the Trident was the largest outlet for tequila in the United States, and in 1973 Jose Cuervo picked up on the new drink as a marketing opportunity and put the recipe for the new drink on the back of their bottles of tequila, and promoted it in other ways. Later that same year, the Eagles recorded a song called "Tequila Sunrise" for their Desperado album as the drink was soaring in popularity. In 1988, a successful film titled Tequila Sunrise was released, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell, and directed by Robert Towne. Preparation and Serving: The tequila sunrise is considered a long drink and is usually served in a collins or highball glass. The International Bartender Association has designated this cocktail as an IBA Official Cocktail. The drink is mixed by pouring in Tequila, ice, then the juice and, lastly, syrup. The signature look of the drink depends on adding the syrup without mixing with the other ingredients. A spoon may be used to guide the syrup down the glass wall to the bottom of the glass with minimal mixing. Variations: Aperol sunrise – substitute Aperol orange liqueur for grenadine Tequila sunset – substitute blackberry brandy, or dark rum, for grenadine Caribbean sunrise – use rum instead of tequila Vodka (or Russian) sunrise – use vodka instead of tequila Southern sunrise – use Southern Comfort instead of tequila Astronaut sunrise – use Tang instead of orange juice Amaretto sunrise – use Disaronno amaretto instead of tequila Florida sunrise – use equal measures of pineapple and orange juice Red Sea sunrise – non-alcoholic version that uses lemonade or Sprite instead of tequila Enamorada sunrise – substitute Campari for grenadine syrup Colorado sunrise – use Captain Morgan and Sunny Delight instead of tequila and orange juice Goon sunrise – use cask wine instead of tequila Arizona Biltmore tequila sunrise – Hornitos Plata tequila, creme de cassis, fresh lime juice, and club soda 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…"
