woah, is this a life drawing painting? did you actually have a model doing that as you painted? because that would be some pretty amazing preformance art! (great painting by the way, totally has a francis bacon darkness to it)
yeah I remember that painting :D it belongs in a gallery, have you had a show with it yet?
I don't know who marlene dumas is... but i just looked her up on google! her work is very francis bacon-y too :) and a little bit of schiele, with the nude poses at least. there's this fantastic drawing of a woman eating a baby's head like an apple, but I can't remember the artist. anyways, though it is more realistic, it reminds me of marlene dumas' work!
Yeah, its in a gallery downtown right now, but I need to go pick it up soon.
I love Schiele and Dumas. Chloe Piene is bitchin', too. And Kiki Smith.
I'm interested in raw and dark energy, but it's important to me that its not "ugly". There's a difference. You know what I mean? It's kind of weird. It's like... there needs to be some poetry.

I took pictures of myself in the shower for this particular painting and then used them to work from.
And Francis Bacon rocks. Thank you.
Do you know who Marlene Dumas is?
