Paintblogging: Finished
Five nights of painting dots. That's a lotta dots, pal. This was the part of the painting that I had planned out from the beginning, but even that didn't prepare me for the amount of labor involved. Still there's only one way to do it, and that's just keep doing it until it is done. For five nights, (can't use the opaque projector during the day) I cranked up the Ornette Coleman albums and painted dots.
After all that work, the last part was almost anticlimactic.
I finally got to use the stencils that I made so long ago. I tried to be patient, and give the white coat time to dry before applying the black, but after all that dot-painting, I just wanted to say I was finished. Fortunately, I was not punished for my haste, and everything turned out fine.
So another one bites the dust. The sense of satisfaction is fleeting, however. I'm already starting on the next painting.
Man, your shoulders must have been burning from painting all those dots. Love the layered concept; I could stare at that thing for hours. Well done!

I almost had 'le petit mort' when I saw the photo. It's just absolutely astonishing.
BTW, ran into Coby and Plowboy yesterday in Austin. Everybody has been asking about you. I told them you couldn't make it through airport security with the ankle bracelet.

Actually, it was the penis pump that got me on the TSA watch list.

Oh come on, everyone knows the Prince Albert is what hangs everyone up at LAX.
