This is as good as it gets from me. This drawing is a self portrait. It is filled with things I like and things I think about. The title came from a song by the Pixies that was heard at the end of the great movie Fight Club. I felt this was the best title for this drawing and the way I think, especially at that time in my life. There are hidden faces, friends names and movie references throughout the drawing. This was done with a sharpened mechanical pencil F lead, on 18" x 24" canson sketch paper. It is the smoothest pencil work you will ever see and I don't feel cocky saying that. I sharpened the mechanical lead by wearing it down on scrap paper until there was a fine point. I filled in the pores of the paper that the lead did not reach the first time over and you see very few sketch marks except maybe in the darkest areas. This picture took me about a year to do. I was working full time at the shit factory at the time. Maybe that's what inspired me to do this. Maybe if I wasn't so miserable I wouldn't have done it. I will probably never do another picture like this because I can't afford the time and I haven't figured out how to get paid to sit down for a year and do this. Money sure rules the world. That and lawyers. This is a photo I had taken of the drawing. It looks a little grey because the paper is a little off white. I signed it with my blood print again because I don't have a distinct signature. Doing this I feel it makes me part of the picture. Then I ripped the corner off and ate it so the picture becomes part of me.
