A few times music has entered my artwork, usually in the form of lyrics of songs that I was listening to at the time. In this painting I was listening to Nirvana and some Beatles... these bands seems miles apart at least in terms of generation, but both bands sung about similar kinds of angst, and of course, love. The drawing was based on doodles from the little notebooks I bring to meetings, probably from 2014 or so. I have started putting the year on the paintings, the number 2015 shows up near the three legged character at the bottom. The meaning of the painting has something to do with that time in my life when I was painting a lot and doing the graduate degree at Western, or maybe high school, I kind of view myself as the joker because I joked a lot and painted all the time, and played lots of Ultimate frisbee.
