I've been painting this strange object for the past month every time I get the chance. Now I'm done and I like looking at this mutant totem I've created. I used varnish for the first time and I like the glossy glow. Here are the front and left side views. My camera batteries ran out, so you'll have to wait to see the other side. Or go see it in person on display at Mojo 13 (that's why it has 13 fingers). The owner, Jared, has these objects all over his bar, decorating the walls. Once we add fur to this puppy, it will be what the experts call a "circus punk." You've seen them at the carnival and probably tried to knock some over with a softball in a rigged game on some distant memory midway. I like to know that it will be staring down on all of the goings on going on at the place, surrounded by others like itself, yet strangely different. It's a nice collection of great local artists, so I feel lucky to be included.
