Description
to pull his strings and make him dance.i watch him work, in lifeless trance.
i'm much much brighter, than shadows on the wall.
i can never be touched. so big and so tall.
my powerful hands, make him flicker in threat.
i can end this existence, in one single breath.
this one goes out, to all the corporate puppet filth.
16x 24 inches, oil on canvas.

There's a tenderness in the face of the puppeteer though, he watches his creation and the puppet never knows, just carries on unaware. Excellent metaphor, I love your work with clowns, they fascinate me, and you bring them to life.

the puppet seems to weigh heavily on the strings I wonder if he'll get tired of holding him up all the time?

this is so beautiful. kind of a tragic beauty. something about it is so tender and sad. on a more shallow note, technically, everything is so well done. The figure, the fabric, the expression... its very realistic yet not if that makes any sense. Its like being inside someone else's dream. i love it, dusty.

You are such an amazingly skilled painter.
What stands out to me the most here is that your white reflects the rainbow of colors that comprise it. Kudos to your eye and your patience.

wow dusty that turned out great! did you deliver it yet? I'm surprised at how light it is, I thought for sure you would take it darker. It's so different from your other work. His pinkish outfit and that stool just jump off the canvas!!!

this is really moving, i like how the puppet looks up at the puppeteer and with a smile he can not bear.
