Stereotype film photography
About 2 years back I did a series of B&W 8mm film photographs depicting different stereotypes. This has absolutely nothing to do with the direction I have taken in painting but they were sitting around and I thought they were pretty entertaining. I have never claimed to be a photographer, nor will I ever claim to be a photographer so these photographs really aren't that good, but I still think they're pretty humorous and am only half way done with my Keith Richards painting so here you go. Enjoy!

1 last poem for Halloween!
(This poem is not directed towards anybody so if you would like to get angry over its content, please go cry to somebody else, not me. Thank you!)
As I’ve become older, Ive been shit out of luck
So for this years costume idea I don’t give a fuck
I went to the store and bought some fake tits
With a skanky ass dress, lets hope it fits
Made a bottle of medicine for some STD’s
A plastic fake ass that some bros can squeeze
Applied plenty of cheap make-up and went out the door
With a trail of broken condoms behind me on the floor
Made out with fifty-five guys in one single night
With some nasty high heels to add some height
Took a few colored markers and drew some tattoos
If she’s reading this now, I hope I amuse
Asked my neighbor if she had a blonde wig she could lend
Cause this Halloween I’ll be my disgusting ex-girlfriend
#13 "Monsters Have Children Too"
Here is another illustration that has no poem to go with it. I actually like the idea of this illustration for kids so much that I had trouble writing a poem in which I thought fit. The Banner was supposed to say "Class of 87", but I wanted to do all the words digitally in photoshop. I'm sure that someday I will put a poem to this thing. Happy Halloween Everybody!

#11 "Mr. Nosferatu"
I once had a teacher who didn’t speak or smile
He was also quite tall and had a bad sense of style
His name was Count Orlok and he always seemed odd
Rumor goes he sucked the blood from my classmate Todd
He always seemed to stand there with his eyes open wide
And kept the curtains closed so we never saw outside
He only let us color with crayons black and white
His desk was a coffin, which he slept in through the night
Instead of routine detention he bit my best friend Drew
Worst teacher in the world, also known as Nosferatu

#10 "The Picasso Spell"
The kids all laughed and told her that she was no good
When she tried to cast the right spell, she never could
Until one day she tried harder than she had before
Said the spell and sent the kids crashing to the floor
They all rolled around and began to look strange
Into Picasso Paintings, they all began to change
