ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Fancy Bates: Heaven forbid, you just tell him no, you ass. U.S. Bates: That's U.S., not you ass. Jack Brown: Angela! Jesus H. Christ! Eric Bates: Is that her full name? U.S. Bates: Eric bought a black man. Fancy Bates: I wasn't aware that we sold them. Jack Brown: I'm writing a book. Writing a book is a job. Stanley: No, writing a book is a copout. Jack Brown: [Talking to stuffed animals] You know why there's a party downstairs? Do you fellas? Because it's goodbye for you guys. They're not gonna sell you anymore. They got a new toy to sell. It's called a Jack Brown. Me. The wind up asshole. And I'm gonna take over all the stores of America next Christmas. All the kids will be hollering for me. They're not gonna want no teddy bears like you. No they won't and they won't want no sad pandas and no tigers or leopards or lions or dumb rabbits. The kids will want a Jack Brown Wind Up. "Mommy I want a Jack Brown Wind-up! Susie has one that can play basketball! And Otto has one that can drive a Cadillac, and he's real cute too and I wanna pinch his nose!" I've sold out to Moorehouse, you know. My life is over. I'm gonna wind up in this room with all you toys for the rest of my life. Jack Brown: For 18 months I've been trying to get a job on your newspaper, but the only black people you hire do windows, mop floors and kiss ass. I don't like it, I've tried it. Jack Brown: C'Mon, Wizard, I'm gonna send you back to the land of Oz. Senator Newcomb: These democrats don't normally support us. U.S. Bates: Now, Senator, we agreed to keep that under our hats. If they knew this was a fund raiser, we'd be all alone. Jack Brown: Why me? Of all the stuff in the store, why did you pick me? Eric Bates: You made me laugh. I wanted a friend who made me laugh. Jack Brown: So of all the toys in the store you wanted a friend. If you want a friend, you don't buy a friend, Eric, you earn a friend through love and trust and respect. Eric Bates: Come see my train! Jack Brown: You're not listening to me, Eric, you don't order your friends around, you ask them. Eric Bates: Oh. You wanna come see my train, friend? Jack Brown: No. [They hug] Jack Brown: [Happily] I'm gonna kill you. Eric Bates: I love you, Jack. U.S. Bates: Are you crazy? Jack Brown: Yes, but trust me! from ’The Toy’ (1982) Starring Richard Pryor (See No Evil, Hear No Evil), Ned Beatty (Superman), Scott Shwartz (A Christmas Story), Teresa Ganzel (Good Burger), and Jackie Gleason (The Hustler).

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…"
