About this piece: An unseen chef has just skewered this artist’s melon with a piece of pipe and placed it over a campfire. It appears that this chef is using an olive oil, garlic, and lime marinade. At approximately 20 minutes per pound, he’s in for about 3.5 hours of roasting. Mmmmmm.
No artists were harmed during the making of this painting. This artist does not support cannibalism except in extreme situations where people are very, very hungry. Since we cannot identify the consumer of the flesh, we cannot be certain that cannibalism has even occurred.

Recently, I began experimenting with acrylics. I have no formal training as an artist. I admire the works of Dali, Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning, Giorgio De Chirico, and Rene Magritte, among others.
Usually, I paint it first; then think about what it all means to me. I think my current fascination with creation and re-birth is somehow connected to an increasing awareness of my own mortality. African masks interest me, and their beautiful/grotesque features often appear in my paintings.
