Pretty Bugs And Worms Oil on canvas, 20w" x 46h", 2000 From a private collection Notes: Weird subliminal and sexual shapes and perverted beings abound in this piece. The purple figure sitting on the chair is an abstracted vibtrator called the "Clitter Bug" that I bought at the Hustler Store in LA. The chair it is sitting on also apperars in "Jungian Self Portrait". It is my personal symbol for a superficial wealth object. On the top right is a vase full of Gardenias. Gardenias are symbolic to me as it's scent was one of my girlfriend's favorite. On the bottom left is a folding table. On it is a strange creature sitting in an absracted high heel shoe. The creature is similar to ones found in "Axis Bold As Sperm Competition" in that it has a pink donut head and a female sex organ-esque body. Here the creature also has a bag of garbage presented on it's head. The shapes to the bottom right are worms and rocks.
