The composition for this image was based off of a Tintoretto painting to appear later. I’m thinking of working exclusively off of him from now on. There is just so much in every painting. I could get 3 or 4 images out of each of his works if I tried. He’s just that good. The Barbies in this setup came from a recent score. I happened to drive by a yard sale and this little girl was selling all her dolls, Barbies by the pink duffel bags. It was like I won the lottery, something you come across only in dreams. It was perfect because I had been on the lookout for some females to pose as groupies, which I realized had been lacking and were needed since I’m working with Rock stars. When I came up with this image I thought of this one time in Grad school, coming out of the gym, I saw this cute girl walking with this guy with a huge white man’s afro. I thought to myself “Why do girls go after morons?” Not that this guy was a moron. I mean, he might have been, but it just made me think about all the times I wondered how some guys who are just complete idiots get cute girls. I guess it comes back to personality. You don’t have to have a good one, but as long as you are outspoken you will do all right. This image represents that inn a way since Kurt is being a clown, though he actually had interesting things to say at least. By the way, the drum set is made out of old linseed oil tins and pieces of old paint tube.
"I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you...
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze...
'Cause I've found god - yeah, yeah, yeah"
-Kurt
