The other day the phrase “with your bich-slap rappin’ and your cocaine tongue you get nothin’ done” popped into my head. I thought it would make a great title for this drawing. That’s usually the “title coming up with” process. Sometimes if I can’t come up with one I’ll just write a ton of phrases and titles free form style in my sketchbook till one comes up. After this one, I then decided it might be a good idea to title all these pieces after song lyrics. Then I thought about Rock N’ Roll clichés, which can also be painting clichés, “all you need is love,” “give it your all,” “just jam.” It would be along the lines of the Rock legends along with the Renaissance compositions. If only De Kooning were alive, imagine what he would say: “Help, Help, let me out of this box, I can’t breathe in here.”
"You could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin'
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine"
-(Stradlin/Rose)
