The other day, I did an ink-on-paper study of a photo that I took of my friend Miguel. Today, I referenced that study to make this painting. We had been in a restaurant discussing the importance of  artists' pursuit of weird and also the value of that weird trailing back to the origins of our authentic selves. Anyway ... during the photo shoot, the natural light was so good and I thought having him hold a spoon to his face would allow some of that light to be captured in a cool way. And so that's what happened.
