Sean : [sitting on a bench in in front of a pond in park] Thought about what you said to me the other day, about my painting. Stayed up half the night thinking about it. Something occurred to me... fell into a deep peaceful sleep, and haven't thought about you since. Do you know what occurred to me? Will : No. Sean : You're just a kid, you don't have the faintest idea what you're talkin' about. Will : [after their last therapy session when they're hugging] Does this violate the doctor-patient relationship? Sean : Not unless you grab my ass. Sean : My father was an alcoholic. Mean fuckin' drunk. He'd come home hammered, looking to whale on somebody. So I'd provoke him, so he wouldn't go after my mother and little brother. Interesting nights were when he wore his rings. Will : He used to just put a belt, a stick, and a wrench on the table. Just say, "Choose." Sean : Well I gotta go with the belt there. Will : I used to go with the wrench. Sean : Why the wrench? Will : Cause fuck him, that's why. Will : [talking through the outside of the glass windows at Dunkin Donuts] Do you like apples? Clark : [talking through the glass on the inside] Yeah. Will : Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples? from ‘Good Will Hunting’ (1997) Starring Robin Williams (“Oh, gradual school is where you go to school and you gradually find out you don't want to go to school anymore.”), Stellan Skarsgård (“I still don't think you're the god of thunder. But you ought to be!”), O’Bannion (School Ties), Cole Hauser (The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay), Casey Affleck (Reiner’s Eleven), Mark Watney (Pascal’s Great… Wall), George Plimpton (Parker’s L.A. Story), and Minnie Driver (Scoutmaster Kevin’s Sleepers). Written by Matt Damon (“Chuckie, it’s hunting season.” -- “Applesauce. Bitch.”) and Ben Affleck (“I don't like the sound of them apples, Will.”). Directed by Gus Van Sant (Allen Ginsberg: The Ballad of the Skeletons).

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…"
