i crave sushi



The idea for this piece came about during the summer of 2005 when I was craving sushi. The original plan was for it to be a triptych, but it turned into a self-portrait. Some familiar symbols lurk around the room, and each object is representative of some part of my life. Several of the objects are based on things that I actually have, like the plush frog on the back of the couch that is representative of my childhood.
The piece became a large-scale study for the painting “Ocelot in Paradise.”



Pen and Pastel, Matted and framed 30x40" (76cmx101cm).
$300 (plus shipping when applicable)
Note: because of difficulties in framing and unique qualities of the materials in this piece, it has incurred a certain amount of damage including some unnoticable smudging and "bruising" of the paper surface.
