Some things fly better in memory than they ever did in air.

In 1996, I was fully on becoming an airbrush artist and portrait painter. This was a huge canvas and I was in love with the scale of the piece. I never titled it and was disappointed when it didn't medal in a local show. It was accepted, so that was a win at least. I worked and worked on this. Jaguar was one of the first pieces where i fell in love with how these kinds of works come to life with the finishing hi-lights. Ultimately this sold to a local collector and I went on to paint another dozen or so big cats. I watched Superman 1978 Sunday and this poem, corny as it is has been rattling around in my head. It fits the tone of the film, absolutely comic. A quick google search revealed that originally, this wasn’t a poem, it was a song. And Margot Kidder sang the words. When you listen to the score in the background you can sing the words along with the melody, if you care to.

For better or worse:
