About The Artwork

[Spider-Man is unable to stop the reactor, so he turns to the only person who can help him...] Spider-Man: Doctor Octavius! [Doc Ock frowns puzzledy, He recognizes that voice - and as if to confirm it, Spider-Man removes his mask and reveals his identity...] Peter Parker: We have to shut it down! Please tell me how! Doc Ock: Peter Parker…? "Brilliant, but lazy." [He chuckles at this statement made by his old friend, now seeing its irony] Peter Parker: Look at what's happening! We have to stop it! Doc Ock: I can't stop it... I WON'T! [He clamps a tentacle on Peter's neck and glares at him] Peter Parker: You once spoke to me about intelligence... you said it was a gift to be used for the greater good... Doc Ock: A privilege... Peter Parker: These things have turned you into something else... don't listen to THEM... Doc Ock: It was my dream... Peter Parker: Sometimes... to do what's right... we must be steady... and give up the things we desire the most... even our dreams. Doc Ock: You're right. [a piece of wreckage gets sucked into the machine. Outside several cars are pulled towards the vortex] Doc Ock: [to his arms] He's right... [the tentacles click and whirl, strongly disagreeing with him] Dr. Otto Octavius: Listen... listen to me now! Listen to ME now! [He finally acquires his sanity, and control over his tentacles. With a jerk, a tentacle lets go of Peter] Peter Parker: Now... tell me how to stop it! Dr. Otto Octavius: It can't be stopped. It's self-sustaining now. Peter Parker: THINK! Doc Ock: Unless... the river! Drown it! [Peter turns to leave, but a tentacle grips him once again...] Dr. Otto Octavius: I'll do it. J. Jonah Jameson: I'll give you $150.00 for all of them! Peter Parker: $300.00. J. Jonah Jameson: That's outrageous! Done. Give this to the girl. Dr. Otto Octavius: I will not die a monster. Miss Brant: [Walks in with Peter] Chief, I found Parker. J. Jonah Jameson: 'Bout time, where were you? Crazy scientist blows himself up, and we don't have pictures! Joseph 'Robbie' Robertson: I heard Spider-Man was there. J. Jonah Jameson: [annoyed] And where were you, photographing squirrels? You're fired! Miss Brant: [Peter turns to leave] Chief, the planetarium party. J. Jonah Jameson: Oh right, you're unfired, get back here! [last lines] Mary Jane Watson: Go get 'em, tiger. Miss Brant : Boss, your wife's on the line, she said she lost her checkbook. J. Jonah Jameson : Thanks for the good news! Snooty Usher: [points to Peter's shoes] Shoelaces. [Peter kneels and ties his shoes] Snooty Usher: Uh, you might want to... [acts like he's straightening a tie] Snooty Usher: [Peter straightens his tie] Snooty Usher: That's better. Can I help you? Dr. Otto Octavius: Parker... Now I remember you. You're Dr. Connor's student. He tells me you're brilliant. [Peter looks flattered] Dr. Otto Octavius: He also tells me you're lazy. from 'Spider-Man 2’ (2004) Starring Bruce Campbell (Army of Darkness), Kirsten Dunst (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Cliff Robertson (Flowers for Algernon), Rosemary Harris (The Boys from Brazil), Green Goblin II (This Is The End), Alfred Molina (Raiders of the Lost Ark), Tobey Maguire (Tropic Thunder), Elizabeth Banks (Brightburn), Dylan Baker (Delirious), Bill Nunn (Sister Act), Willem Dafoe (At Eternity’s Gate), and J.K. Simmons (Whiplash). Written by Alfred Gough (Smallville), Miles Millar (Lethal Weapon 4), Michael Chabon (Star Trek: Picard), and Alvin Sargent (What About Bob?). Directed by Sam Raimi (Darkman). Spider-Man created by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee Spider-Man 2 is a 2004 American superhero film directed by Sam Raimi and written by Alvin Sargent from a story by Alfred Gough, Miles Millar and Michael Chabon. Based on the fictional Marvel Comics character of the same name, it is the second installment in the Spider-Man trilogy and the sequel to Spider-Man (2002), starring Tobey Maguire alongside Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Alfred Molina, Rosemary Harris, and Donna Murphy. Set two years after the events of Spider-Man, the film finds Peter Parker struggling to manage both his personal life and his duties as Spider-Man, which affects his civilian life dramatically. Meanwhile, Dr. Otto Octavius becomes a diabolical villain after a failed experiment kills his wife and leaves him neurologically fused to mechanical tentacles. Spider-Man must stop him from successfully recreating the dangerous experiment, while dealing with a subconscious desire to stop being Spider-Man that is stripping him of his powers. Raimi's inspiration for the film came from the comic book debut of Doctor Octopus in 1964, the 1966 story arc If This Be My Destiny...!, and the 1967 story arc Spider-Man No More! Principal photography began in April 2003 in New York City and also took place in Los Angeles. Reshoots took place later that year and concluded in December. Spider-Man 2 was released in both conventional and IMAX theaters on June 30, 2004. It received widespread critical acclaim and grossed $789 million worldwide, making it the third highest-grossing film of the year. The film won Best Visual Effects at the 77th Academy Awards, and was also nominated for Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing; furthermore, it received five awards at the Saturn Awards, including Best Fantasy Film and Best Director for Raimi. Considered one of the best and most influential superhero films of all time, its success led to Spider-Man 3 (2007). Source: Wikipedia Artist’s Note (12/20/21): I’ve been meaning to put a note with this painting since I listed it. However, I "ran out of time" and then kinda forgot. Anyway, the inspiration came, not from watching Spider-Man 2, but by listening to Sister Christian by Night Ranger. Which reminded me of Alfred Molina's awesome (and brief) performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s astounding film Boogie Nights. Which then reminded me how good he was as Doc Ock. Then the brilliant line. Then the painting. BAM! Bob’s your uncle.

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…"
