Caveman

Actually I did watch the show "Cavemen" last night. I think it's pretty funny and I love the corny and absurd premise. I had created some caveman portraits several years ago, which were created in a similar spirit. But that's not the subject of this post! Well, it sort of leads into it...A friend of mine has a brother who she describes as grumpy, dull and for the most part unimpressed with just about everything. He was over at her new apartment for the first time and saw my drawing "Penguin/Python" hanging on her wall. He basically stood there for about 20 minutes reading all of the text, including all of the letters pasted on the frame, all the while barking out questions to my amused friend; Who is this artist? Where did he get these letters? What is this all about? He stood there like I've said for twenty minutes, tilting his head to read everything and when he had soaked in every last aspect and queried every last unexplainable detail she told him that he could turn it over, that there was another drawing on the otherside! This was the last thing that he had expected and basically floored him! Or should I say it was the icing on the cake? For my friend it was a modern day art triumph and a supremely satisfying "gotcha" for a big brother who, until now, had always had all the answers!
