[ Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil, 8"x10", pencil, c. 2004 ]
To continue Throwback Week, here's another oldie but goodie from high school art class. This one I did at San Clemente High in Mr. Palmer or Mr. Delanty's art class. Honestly cannot remember which one. It's a drawing from a photo of me when I was about 9 or 10. I was counting my Christmas money from Granny. Look at that evil, greedy grin on my face. I look like the Grinch! And check out those pre-braces teeth! The bow on top of my head is what I think really makes the picture. I could see this being a Banksy stencil showing the greed and corruption of America even in it's supposedly innocent children. I am glad to say I went through my money-grubbing-gold-digging stage at an extremely young age and outgrew it VERY quickly. Now all I want [*cheeseball alert*] is a simple, happy life with the people I love. The title of this one is "Love of Money Is The Root of All Evil," but looking back I wish I had titled it "Keep Your Hands Off My Stack" or one of the other witty lines in Pink Floyd's classic song, "Money." You live and learn.
