i borrowed my friend bob’s time machine and went 3000 years into the future. i found battle point to be peopled by polygamous androids.

             pilgrimage to cythera 89X55cm

there is always an out of tune lute player with an uncertain voice. throw him some drachma (actually it’s euros now) and give him a swig of wine and he will be off bothering another group. i don’t recommend the sailboat tours especially if you have toddlers because of the low rails and the lack of life jackets. i never made it to the temple. the path is steep and crowded by thorny goats.

return to olympia 55X34cm
this painting has it all, dogs,  a plastic boat, a crow and a rock star.

a picnic at the end of the world 89X55cm

i read some where that stephen hawking said that if we tried really hard this century we could set in motion processes that will boil away the seas in about a millennium which i know sounds like a long time from now but wealthy babies born amongst us today should be fully transposed into a machine form that will last long enough to view this byproduct of our age from the cool safety of the dark side of the moon. as you can see the people in my painting aren’t really at the very end, they still have huckleberries and bubbles and wine and something to cook (and they don’t seem to be cannibals yet) and the seas are far from boiled away. they are still rising.
