Spitcurl







This painting was inspired by a song called The House That Used To Be written by Rhett Miller and performed by his band, The Old 97s.
This is probably the least subtle piece in the series.
Hopefully the message is profoundly clear that if you bought a gas guzzling Hummer while our country is at war, you are not only a selfish child, but you are killing me you and everyone else.
I have no idea what Rhett Miller means by the line but it’s ambiguity is very alluring. It means so much and so little at the same time, which for me gives lyrics their value.

It is hard to believe, but true. The more we teach them, the dumber they get! Even with gas going upward, the guzzilers are out there blowing smoke.
