For those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

acrylic, steel, polyester resin, and aluminum leaf on wood 14"h x 9"w -when i asked artist, russell biles, if he had thought about making a sculpture based on superman he responded by asking me why i shouldn't do it myself. so i thought ..... ok! i grew up being introduced to the late christopher reeve's superman first and so that is the superman persona that i chose to base this painting on. the face of jesus inside the superman's crest is based on a portrait of him i remember having a porcelain reproduction of growing up and in my opinon is a cliche or stereotype (i call him the 'white boy jesus'  . i chose to allow my version appear a little more weathered and aged than the original. as i worked on this piece, and definately after i finished it, i felt my own response more personal than i anticipated. i will resist the temptation to explain what i think my painting represents since there are too many things this causes me to think on. so, for now, i will just let each veiwer have an unled response. please feel free to comment and share your thoughts below.click here if you would like to see a detail of this painting. i also have a couple of images of this painting before it was finished in my 'work in progress' journal. "keeping the faith" is the second painting in which i have referenced superman. the first painting is a self-portrait called "super-double burger boy". if you have a minute, take a look at this video of christopher reeve clips with sound clips from the original cartoons. i think it is pretty cool! photographed by tim barnwell (in the private collection of richard and pamela davidson) |
