About The Artwork

Mark Shermin: Have people from your world been here before? Starman: Before yes. We are interested in your species. Mark Shermin: You mean you're some kind of anthropologist? Is that what you're doing here? Just checking us out? Starman: You are a strange species. Not like any other. And you'd be surprised how many there are. Intelligent but savage. Shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you? [Shermin nods] Starman: You are at your very best when things are worst. Jenny Hayden: Love is, um, it's when you care more for someone else than you do yourself. Jenny Hayden: What's it like up there? Starman: It is beautiful. Not like this, but it is beautiful. There is only one language, one law, one people. There is no war, no hunger. The strong do not victimize the helpless. We are very civilized, but we have lost something, I think. You are all so much alive, all so different. I will miss the cooks and the singing and the dancing. And the eating! - - And the other things. Jenny Hayden: You really are some kind of - Martian or something, aren't you? What do you want here? What are you - doing? What do you want with me? Where are you taking me? Why do you look so much like Scott? Starman: I Can't Get No - Satisfaction. Jenny Hayden: That does it! Starman: Shit! Jenny Hayden: Don't mind him. He's just learning English. Roadhouse Waitress: Well, he's got a hell of a start on it! Starman: [after seeing the dead deer] Do deer eat people? Jenny Hayden: No. Starman: Do people eat people? Jenny Hayden: Of course not. What do you think we are? Starman: I think you are a very primitive species. Starman: [with mouth full] That Dutch apple pie! Jenny Hayden: It's good, huh? Starman: [Starman swallows, imitates the waitress's "OK" gesture and words] It's terrific! Jenny Hayden: [samples his pie, nods] For a primitive species we have our points. Starman: Define shit. Jenny Hayden: Why didn't you wake me? Starman: I like to watch you sleep. I don't know - why. Strange. I think I am becoming a planet Earth person. [Starman is driving the car, and speeds across a recently turned red light, causing crashes for the other motorists] Starman: Okay? Jenny Hayden: Okay? Are you crazy? You almost got us killed! You said you watched me, you said you knew the rules! Starman: I do know the rules. Jenny Hayden: Oh, for your information pal, that was a *yellow* light back there! Starman: I watched you very carefully. Red light stop, green light go, yellow light go very fast. From ’Starman’ (1984) Starring Jeff Bridges (Iron Man) and Karen Allen (National Lamppon’s Animal House). Written by Bruce A. Evans (Kuffs) and Raynold Gideon (Stand by Me). Directed by the MAN himself John Carpenter (Big Trouble in Little China). Starman is a 1984 American romance science fiction film directed by John Carpenter that tells the story of an alien who has come to Earth and cloned a humanoid body (portrayed by Jeff Bridges) in response to the invitation found on the gold phonograph record installed on the Voyager 2 space probe. The original screenplay was written by Bruce A. Evans and Raynold Gideon, with Dean Riesner making uncredited re-writes. Bridges was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role. The film inspired a short-lived television series of the same name in 1986. 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…"
