Description
Commissioned painting.2011 18" x 24" Acrylics On Panel
(Detail)
Jee-zus; Hey-zoos; He's us.
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
Spreading wisdom and cash around
Fed the starving and housed the poor
Showed the Vatican what gold's for
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Peter Pumpkinhead pulled them all
Emptied churches and shopping malls
Where he spoke, it would raise the roof
Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame
Governments who would slur his name
Plots and sex scandals failed outright
Peter merely said any kind of love is alright
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
He died grinning on live TV
Hanging there he looked a lot like you
And an awful lot like me
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?

Thanks, man!
I've had a really difficult time "recovering" from this painting-- I've found it increasingly difficult to belly-up to the easel ever since I finished this...

Holy smokes, Sam, it's finally done! This looks amazing, especially that globe! Sorry it took me a while to notice. Congratulations

Thanks, pal! The globe was a very MESSY accomplishment-- you're seeing maybe a third of the paint that got thrown around trying to get that luminosity combined with some sense of texture and clouds-- clearly a madman lives in this basement.
