I.L.Y.M. (I Love You Man)

2025

 

           This is a piece I put together when after getting home from work the other night, the first week of April has been full of rain in the day and fog at night. For context- I live on an island in Rhode Island, on the island there is one main road that cuts down the whole mass of land. Road Island. At night I drive for a pizzeria- Checkers (Wed-Sun.Come whack me), I've gotten into some odd situations while handling other peoples food. A couple weeks ago I had to enter a customers apartment, go into their living room and hand over an order of chicken tenders and fries to a grown man probably in his mid-twenties. While I knocked and called for 10 minutes this kid, probably nine, with his two big garbage full of nic-stick cartons and cardboard asked me for a dollar. Told him no, but after I received $4 in coins from the greasy man, I tossed the kid some coins.   

For this painting I had just bought new paint that morning but only ended up using two colors. The scene is centered around two figures, Mx. Green Mx. Pink(red), exchanging a an uncomfortable interaction.

 Over their heads float two orbs of the opposite color which was the well on their creation. 

Sketch paper, acrylic paint, construction paper, white out, India ink, ball point pen, crayon,  sharpie.
