About The Artwork

I wake up in the morning And I raise my weary head I got an old coat for a pillow And the earth was last night's bed I don't know where I'm goin' Only God knows where I've been I'm a devil on the run A six gun lover A candle in the wind, yeah You're brought into this world But they say you're born in sin Well at least they've given me something I didn't have to steal or have to win Well, they tell me that I'm wanted Yeah I'm a wanted man I'm colt in your stable I'm what Cain was to Able Mister catch me if you can I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm no one's son Call me young gun You ask about my conscience And I offer you my soul You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man Well I ask if I'll grow old You ask me if I known love And what it's like to sing songs in the rain Well, I've seen love come I've seen it shot down I've seen it die in vain Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth But I'm going down in a blaze of glory Lord, I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm a devil's son Call me young gun Each night I go to bed I pray the Lord my soul to keep No, I ain't lookin' for forgiveness But before I'm six foot deep Lord, I got to ask a favor And I'll hope you'll understand 'Cause I've lived life to the fullest Let this boy die like a man Starin' down the bullet Let me make my final stand Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm going down in a blaze of glory Lord, I never drew first But, I drew first blood I'm no one's son Call me young gun I'm the young gun Young gun, yea eee yea Young gun ‘Blaze of Glory’ by Jon Bon Jovi Songwriter: Jon Bon Jovi "Blaze of Glory" is the debut solo single by Jon Bon Jovi which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Mainstream rock chart in 1990, his only chart-topper away from his band Bon Jovi.

We'll go back through El Royal. John W. Poe: Well, that's convenient. Pat Garrett: What? John W. Poe: The Kid'll be long gone. Maybe that's what you want, Pat. Pat Garrett: What I want is for you to cork your goddamn government mouth, mister. And the next time you address me common, I will put you on your prissy little ass.

Bonney: You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc. from ‘Young Guns II’ (1990) Starring Emilio Estevez (Judgment Night), Kiefer Sutherland (Stand By Me), Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba), Christian Slater (Tales from the Darkside: The Movie), Cameron (Speed), Viggo ‘cuz’ Mortensen (28 Days), and James Coburn (The Magnificent Seven). Written by John Fusco (Hidalgo). Directed by Geoff Murphy (Freejack). Young Guns II is a 1990 American Western film and a sequel to Young Guns (1988). It stars Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Christian Slater, and features William Petersen as Pat Garrett. It was written and produced by John Fusco and directed by Geoff Murphy. It follows the life of Billy the Kid (played by Emilio Estevez), in the years following the Lincoln County War in which Billy was part of "The Regulators" – a group of around six highly skilled gunmen avenging the death of John Tunstall – and the years leading up to Billy's documented death. The film, however, is told by Brushy Bill Roberts, a man who in 1950 appeared claiming to be the real Billy the Kid. While the film takes some creative license, it does show some of the main events leading up to Billy's documented death, including his talks with Governor Lew Wallace, his capture by friend-turned-foe Pat Garrett, his trial, and his subsequent escape in which he killed two deputies.

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…"
