Mannequin Torso by Chris Leavens

By Chris Leavens

For my 25th birthday, I received a female mannequin torso. It was a group effort and the culprits included Wargo, Kendall, and Jack. This was back in the glory days when both Wargo and Kendall were still existing in LA. Seven years have past and I finally feel like I've done the mannequin some justice. Here she is (click on the little photos for the big ones):

Admittedly, my painting skills are a little rusty and it shows in my technique. There's more painting stuff planned for the near future, so a remedy called practice may cure my ills.

It was either me or her. Glad I slipped you a fiver that time you were a few bucks short when you ordered Chinese back in '01.

Chinese food, not prostitutes. You seemed to always have money for those.

Dammit... you keep making it harder for me to stop thinking about that mannequin so much.

Oh, and nice paintingness. She looks sellable, if you ask me.

I feel like a proud Papa. Very nice.

How about a LOB version?
BIGGER TITS THOUGH!!!!!

I LOVE THIS!!! LOL!!! IT MAKES ME FEEL SORT OF FUNNY, LIKE WHEN WE HAD TO CLIMB THE PYRAMID OF CLOWNS AT SCHOOL.

ROCK ON, PAINTING!!!

LOL

Umm...yeah...

Also, there's a good sense of depth amongst the birds in their gathered masses. I think it can be said that those birds have translated very well from the digital world to the real-u-lar one. The grouping on the back is very well balanced; it almost makes me think of a naughty bird version of the "Joshua Tree" cover.

The fact that your birds do in fact have a natural predator assuages my ecological sense. Sweet tat.

I used to have strange, little orange creatures growing around my hip and buttocks region as well...

Then I just hit 'em with the shampoo.

I love the use of the "dragon" as a metaphor for Permethrin...

The look of astonishment on the bird-in-hand's face is very cool, too.

Yes, yes. Very good, very good. If you are to sometime be interested in it, Señor Weirdystrange could make borrow of your painty torso and then hims could probably grow a Saviour of Earth from it... If only government of U.S. would remove armed guards from storage lockers where we keeps our many cylinders of special fluids and gasses.
