Description
I'm often asked where I draw my inspiration from, or how I get my ideas, that sort of thing. I'll tell you. I steal them. My one and only true inspiration came in the form of a thought-stealing machine, which I named "Kleptykins," and now abuse at every opportunity. I use it so much that the power company sends thugs about once a week to tell me to knock it off.This particular piece was stolen one night from Indiana Jones' Ambien-and-whiskey nightmares. After this point in the dream, it got... weird.
You'd think I'd use this magnificent machine to amass a collection of terrible secrets of powerful people, and be filthy rich from blackmail tributes. I guess stealing all my ideas has caused my cleverness lobes to atrophy. Anyway, I'm going to get back to pointing this thing at Hollywood and laughing.

Oh, and check out my quasi-journal-post for sketches and some additional chatter. [link]

The humour in the description verifies you're free of atrophy.

What a wonderful seductive picture, and also one of my favorite cards to play mechanic wise.
That's like two boners for the price of one!

I am filled with overwhelming artistic jealousy. Yet underneath all that I realize the steps one must go through in order to create such magnificent pieces; and for that you have my respect.

I bought the card sleeves with this painting because I was impressed and I liked the idea, then I saw you were the artist. I should have guessed it. Brilliant art, highly expressive. I would not like to get in front of her ...
I love also the thumbnails you posted, they're very instructive.
Keep on making wonderful art !
