One of my friends commented on a sticker he saw at pike place on a phone kiosk. They aren’t really booths anymore… Side is the point. The sticker was captioned “Where are all my thylacines?” Or something like that. I thought I would do a painting version of that because I learned a new word. A thylacine is a marsupial from down under that went extinct due to man’s intervention. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
Also, I saw Where the Wild Things Are, the movie, and I felt that lonely wilderness feeling and can it be captured in a painting? Maybe. I also felt that the character Max could have easily been played by Ellen Page.
