In which the blogger reveals that he is, in fact, a mythological being



Cupid's Mission
36" x 24"
Plaster, sand, and acrylic
$1950

My friend Jeanine painted this fresco for her recent showing at Artropolis in Chicago. When she asked me if I'd be interested in being a subject for a piece, I was as flattered as I could ever remember being. Months passed, and my first viewing of the work revealed that she had depicted me as Cupid.

Poetry in motion, kids.

It's a very disorienting experience to see yourself through someone else's eyes. Oh, and to have someone charge two grand for your likeness. I'll never forget this.

Also, check out Jeanine's day job, Fresh Murals.
