This be the narrative/ title for the painting : Male Illusion and Male Reality. While strapped in my Cockpit ( Sock Drawer ) as I soared above the Littoral ( Clittoral, but hey, couldn’t find either ), I noticed the New Art Wave rising ( clean, shower base ). Threatening the very concept of male superiority. ( stubbed toe, ouchie ). It finally came down to Me ( me ) and The Raptor ( quarter chicken and chips thanks ) battling for the Soul ( shoe in ) of the HUMAN RACE. ( fuck ‘em……just run !) Ahhh…. Time for snooze…… (zzzzzzzzz ) Need I say more !

Artwork Description

What I’ve tried to highlight here is the gap between the illusion of the male mind. And the reality. Women are much more grounded due to their mix of emotions and practicality. They think with their gut while males think with their egos. I enjoyed making this piece. It has stuck down areas balanced with paint, ink and pencil. Perhaps I can come down from my sock drawer someday !
