To continue catching this blog up to the present, let us take a look at my past again…
When I was working on this, things were not going my way. Just before this painting, I was selling my work on a regular bases. I was also spending money like there was no tomorrow, thinking that the sales wave would never end. It did, and as sales of paintings had stopped for several months, I was less than broke and fast going into serious debt to characters that I should have just stayed away from. I started throwing parties where I sold paintings for next to nothing, just to get some cash together for food, which sucked as I was only eating rice because I could buy a 50 pound bag for twenty dollars. If I was lucky, I had canned tuna to go with my rice. Things sucked.
This six-panel work is a self-portrait from a previous studio.
It was painted to simply reflect the moment in a clever way.

We all go through the self imposed lessons of being broke…
…It sucks, we find a way to survive and do better next time.
