Faceless Boys

I’ve been painting faceless boy portraits on found pieces of wooden scraps from the wood shop at my old school, and these are two of these.  Some sort of window into the psyche, except it’s covered in cobwebs and when you actually squint in, you just recoil as if struck.

Probably goes to Yale.  Favorite band is Deerhoof.  Unironic.

31
The bearded red-cardiganed glasses wearing asshole-of-my-dreams who looks like he works at a library in Oregon. Probably named “Britt/Brett”.

    I am just the kind of sweet sensitive guy that is the stuff of nightmares.

    may I ask what the alt texts of “2″ and “31″ mean? are there 29 more somewhere?

    MAYBE.

    No, nothing as fancy as that. Some sort of computer mix-up.

    Those faceless boys need to be in that brick-and-mortar gallery Cindy’s going to start up.

    Yes they do. I’ll have 2 stores, remember: Sad & Beautiful and Todo A Dollar. These will need to go in Sad & Beautiful, because they’re too todo for a dollar.

    “Favorite band is Deerhoof. Unironic.”

    These are very fine, Amanda.

    Dave said, “I am just the kind of sweet sensitive guy that is the stuff of nightmares.”

    That’s a keeper.
