The Robots Begin to Accrue

(With a scissors for scale)

(Acrylic on Canvas)

I love this part of the painting process. When I decide I'm a talentless hack and there’s no way I’ll pull this one off and maybe I should burn all my paintings on the lawn like Modigliani and get drunk in the backyard cradling the garden hose like a loveable snake and crying.

I am also keenly aware that I'm ☆this☆ close to putting myself into another butt situation. The last time I worked myself into a butt-painting corner, I gathered so many fine art butt reference images, my camera roll and my psyche became overwhelmed with Rubens and Titian.

The butt in question:

Goddamnit. The above butt is not only on a canvas of the exact same size, it’s also robot-adjacent.

I’m doomed.
