By this time I had already began to receive requests from people to be "animaled" .. a term I didn't come up with... but I guess it works. The funniest thing about the picture above is.. the girl who requested it (yes, you Bianca) didn't remember who I was. She wrote me a very sweet email saying how she loved my pictures and would really like me to make one of her.... Little did she know I knew who she was... lets see... way back... maybe 3 or 4 summers ago in Portland.. during my post fake divorce drinking binge .. I had a rather colorful night. Lets just say I was being loud and drunk (and probably obnoxious) .. well I caught Bianca making fun of my behavior, and being wasted and sensitive as I was, this really hurt my feelings.. I hated her for about a year after that. Alas, I am not one to hold a grudge .. especially over something so dumb and decided to make her a picture. Shes actually got a really great face (even though I didn't use it.. but later in my career I do) and from what I hear is quite a blast to be around. So, Bianca, if you are reading this... it ain't no thang girl, but... some of us are sensitive.. and yes, I do plan on coming to LA and I do plan on getting sloppy drunk again... but this time with you.. and we can openly make fun of each other. All that said.. this picture was a fucking bitch ass to make... I was still using paint at this point, no layers. I had to crop the hand, cut it out paste it on the bird face.. cut that out then hope that it all aligned on the main pic.. and if I fucked it up (which I did) I would have to start over. Yeah.
