Lame joke. I know. Seriously though I have no ideas on a name and since it’s a commissioned piece I’ll leave it up to the new owner to give it a one. It will remain “Untitled-“gallery name” commission 0223″ on my records. She’s a beastie clocking in at 60″ x 44″. It was fun. It…

All this Covid business is killing my comminication skills. I’ve been working, but mostly on pet projects… literally and figuratively.
