homage to Paul Jaisini color version

Stelly Riesling: there's a subtle anti-consumerism statement in this work, which is perfect for the holiday shopping craze, so i might as well mention it here. much of what we own is made of plastic that is consumed ravenously, thanks to super cheap labor overseas, so all the digital gadgets are as accessible to the poor as the rich, and both are deceiving themselves in believing their lives have more significance carrying these "mini super computers" and being "connected" at all times to the rest of the world; giving them a false sense of security; filling a massive void of loneliness in their lives and hearts through an unrelenting need to be engaged in constant activity to help escape the horror of reality, i.e. socializing... ironic isn't it. So why are girls allowed to get away with bikinis vs lingerie... i've seen plenty bikinis expose waaaaay more femininity than underwear and bras, and i've seen girls strike poses more scandalous than cute yoga stretches in their bikinis. it's the come-hither look that makes this "adult content" - otherwise she's just a girl showing off her flexibility with the whimsical idea that she hasn't grown out of her infancy when she did the same exact thing shown here. why must artists ALWAYS take the heat for others' dirty minds... by constantly discussing things that bother them in a highly subjective manner, they're part of the problem in making everything wrong and taboo by blowing things out of proportion, actively searching for black cats in dark rooms where they don't exist and actually finding them.i simply had to address an issue that has become a thorn in my side because so many people can't or won't look beyond the 2-dimensional plane to which they're so accustomed in society and media. i wish they would at least try to have a semi-intelligent discussion with me instead of outright attack me or my work.
