I love it! I'll take two! One for the bathroom and one for over the bed.

Oh, hell.... and a third one for over the fireplace in the living room!

That's Mike Cockrill, isn't it- I just got into him. He's my latest idol.

Interesting STUFF. Thank you for the link. I'm always on the lookout for modern painters that don't just do squares and dots or sharks in formaldehyde. So I can show them to my fine arts tutors and go 'LOOK! YOU CAN DO FINE ART AND STILL DRAW BEAUTIFULLY, DAMMIT.' They don't seem to think you can. It's kind of obnoxious.

I wonder why his subjects are all sexualised young girls. Kind of interesting, yet creepy?

There are older girls as well. I'd find it creepy, but he and Henry Darger both have a lot of 'young girl' stuff that somehow doesn't feel exploitative to me. In a Cockrill article I read somewhere, the author was saying how he liked that Cockrill's children acted like real children- naive and undeveloped, but not as wholesome and pure as many people believe. Children are essentially amoral. When you were twelve, did you have sexual thoughts(uninformed as they might have been)? I know I did, I did much before then, without any 'tainting' from adults.

Yes, City Hunter rules. I bought the whole thing on DVD.

Cockrill's paintings remind me of one of my favourite Kurt Vonnegut passages:

"There were two monsters sharing this planet with us when I was a
boy, however, and I celebrate their extinction today. They were
determined to kill us, or at least to make our lives meaningless. They came close to success. They were cruel adversaries, which my little friends the beavers were not. Lions? No. Tigers? No. Lions and tigers snoozed most of the time. The monsters I will name never snoozed. They inhabited our heads. They were the arbitrary lusts for gold, and, God help us, for a glimpse of a little girl’s underpants."

That's an awesome quote. Vonnegut rules!
