Witch Pirate Redux

the second big painting of the year is always a retracing of old ground. in this case, I wanted to revisit my original concept of a witch pirate. but my taste has been radically altered by my recent experience with richmond raves, underground DJs and performance art culture. I am now thinking of movement and music while I paint, and trying to fuse the influences around me. I listened to some TNGHT. I drank a lot of coffee. I know people with hair this big.

the top half of this painting descended into abstract and I plunked all the reality at the bottom..not sure what that says about me.
