Brush #70 2004 - 29 x 40" Multi-media: Acrylic & graphics on paper and canvas

Optical illusions are a weird thing, Somehow this piece is one.
People see something, or not, and there's no middle ground.

Paper on Canvas By now the style had settled in that the desire for text had now created a method: paper on canvas. And working that paper became as important as the text. Meanwhile this came ten years after Sellout. I got an apologetic phone call from the Cafe where my Art was on display. So sorry, said the voice- some awful person has written some graffiti on your painting!
Really? I said - what does it say?

HAVE YOU WRITTEN DOWN WHY YOU DO THIS KIND OF ARCHAIC PAINTING?

I laughed, and said don't worry- that's part of the Art. I wrote that. I wrote it with a Carpenter's Pencil.
