Art is about Fun

More is more, that's my motto. If you think it's done, throw some more at it!

It has been the story of my artistic life since childhood. Many 6 year olds would be painting a happy flower in a blue sky, a tidy boat on a calm sea and a pretty mother with nice hair and red lipstick....

But not ME.

I would be painting the towering inferno; the action hero rescuing the maiden from a flesh eating dragon or monster sea adventure, complete with motion lines and speech bubbles and all!

So, when our teacher made us put our paintings on the wall, you can imagine...

"Yes! Lovely, Jessica" then "Tom, that is very good!" then "AAAAAAUGH!!!!"

Let's put it this way. Control was never my strong point.

Over the years I have learned to reign it in a little - but only a little. So, I hope that you find my offbeat sensibilities worthy of small chuckle or two.

Art is about fun - here is the equation: (F)UN + (ART) = FART! It about sums it up.
