Creative Psychosis

I was digging through some art files on my hard drive and discovered this one from about four years ago. It was a scan of a painting that was detailed enough that you can read the year on the paint covered penny.

As it turned out, I ended up trading that painting that year for a portable art desk and a cell phone. The kicker is that I never registered the cell phone before it became prehistoric, and I still have yet to use the art desk. But at least the painting is out wandering the real world… which beats the ones lounging in my studio and basement.

Ultimately, I wish I had a mini Lo-Jack on those old paintings I gifted, gave away or traded… like a “Where Are They Now?” episode for Mark’s Art. That has the potential to be quite amusing. Although I’m sure the ones I gave to a certain psychotic ex have met an untimely death in a Long Island incinerator. Alas, I’ll never know.
