As Jack told me most adamantly,
that I can’t handle the truth … so
obviously I need someone to do it
for me π€ Perhaps we should have
a Ministry of Truth? π

Thanks John.
I was off to F.B.I. Headquarters in
Washington DC during the ad break.
They were kind enough to give me
a set of golf clubs autographed by
none other than Donald J. Trump!
Much gratitude was warranted π

Always amazing the effect color has on the mood of a piece, isn’t it? Love your self-portrait by the Shadow!

The “Shadow” artwork was a bit
of a collaboration with the ever
elusive Multiple Michael.

That piece was a collaborative
experiment, RS. Without the artist,
does the subject matter cease to
exist … or is it vice versa? π€πΆοΈ

For me the question was more which one was the artist, plus there is seemingly even a 3rd agent involved, the photographer. Makes heads spin. Maybe the viewer is the artist.

According to a thorough forensic
examination, the original photo was
taken by me (I’d almost forgotten).
I played around with it a bit, as is
my want (for distortion), and my
friend, Multiple Michael, put it
through his poetry machine, which
successfully rendered reality into
a monochrome state of submission.
Simple when you look at it ποΈβποΈ
