About The Artwork

Damon Macready: So... Have you thought a little more about what you might want for your birthday? Mindy Macready: Can I get a puppy? Damon Macready: [surprised] You wanna get a dog? Mindy Macready: Yeah, a cuddly fluffy one, and a Bratz movie-star make over Sasha! [Damon is stunned] Mindy Macready: [laughs] I'm just fucking with you Daddy! Look, I'd love a Benchmade model 42 butterfly knife. Damon Macready: [relieved] Oh, child... You always knock me for a loop! Dave Lizewski: How do I get a hold of you? Hit-Girl: You just contact the mayor's office. He has a special signal he shines in the sky. It's in the shape of a giant cock. Mindy Macready: Daddy? I'm scared. Damon Macready: Come on, Mindy, honey? Be a big girl now. There's nothing to be afraid of. Mindy Macready: Is it gonna hurt bad? Damon Macready: Aww, child. Only for a second, sugar. Damon Macready: [testing her] A handgun bullet travels at? More than? Mindy Macready: [rolls eyes] 700 miles an hour. Damon Macready: 700 miles an hour. So at close range like this, the force is gonna take you off your feet for sure, but it's really no more painful than a punch in the chest. Mindy Macready: [mumbles to herself] I hate getting punched in the chest. Damon Macready: [cocks gun] You're gonna be fine, baby doll! [he aims and fires, hitting her squarely in the chest. She goes flying off her feet, landing on her back] Damon Macready: [walking up to her as she pulls the bullet out of her bullet-proof vest hidden underneath her jacket] How was that? Not so bad. Kinda fun, huh? Now you know how it feels. You won't be scared when some junkie asshole pulls a glock. Mindy Macready: [smiling] I wouldn't have been scared anyways! Damon Macready: That's my girl. [helping her up] Damon Macready: Alright, up you get. Two more rounds and then home. Mindy Macready: Again? Damon Macready: Uh-huh. Mindy Macready: Look, only if we can go by the bowling alley on the way back. Damon Macready: The bowling alley? Mindy Macready: Yeah, and ice cream after! Damon Macready: [thinking about it for a second] Huh... okay. Two more rounds. No wincing... No whining! And you got yourself a deal, young lady. Mindy Macready: Yeah! I'm gonna get a hot fudge sundae! Damon Macready: Good call, baby doll! [shoots her again] Hit Girl: Okay you cunts... Let's see what you can do now! Hit Girl: [grinning at bad guy's balisong knife] Hey, I got one of those! Hit Girl: So, you wanna play? Big Daddy: Take cover child! Big Daddy: Now switch to Kryptoniiite! Big Daddy : Go to Robiiiin's Reveeeeeeeenge! Big Daddy: Good job. I'm so proud of you, baby doll. Are you okay? Hit Girl: Mhmm... but getting shot, Daddy... it hurt a lot more than when you did it. Big Daddy: That's because I used low velocity rounds, child... he... he... Hit Girl: You're the kindest Daddy in the whole world. Big Daddy: No, I just... I love you... Hit Girl: I love you, too, Daddy... I love you, too, Daddy. Sleep tight. from ‘Kick-Ass’ (2010) Starring Chloë Grace Moretz (Let Me In), Nicolas Cage (National Treasure), Quicksilver (Godzilla), Quicksilver (X-Men: Days of Future Past), Mark Strong (Sunshine), and McLovin (This is the End). Screenplay by Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class) and Jane Goldman (Kingsman: The Secret Service). Directed by Matthew Vaughn (Snatch). Based on the comics by Mark Millar (Fantastic Four) and John Romita Jr. (Wolverine) Kick-Ass is a 2010 superhero film based on the comic book of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. which was published by Marvel Comics. The film was directed by Matthew Vaughn, who produced with Brad Pitt and co-wrote the screenplay with Jane Goldman. The film was produced in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was the opening gala premiere at SXSW 2010. Its general release was on 25 March 2010 in the United Kingdom and on 16 April 2010 in the United States. It is the first installment of the Kick-Ass film series. It tells the story of an ordinary teenager, Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), who sets out to become a real-life superhero, calling himself "Kick-Ass". Dave gets caught up in a bigger fight when he meets Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage), a former cop who, in his quest to bring down the crime boss Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong) and his son Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), has trained his eleven-year-old daughter (Chloë Grace Moretz) to be the ruthless vigilante Hit-Girl. Despite having generated some controversy for its profanity and violence performed by a child, Kick-Ass was well received by both critics and audiences. In 2011 it won the Empire Award for Best British Film. The film has gained a strong cult following since its release on DVD and Blu-ray. A sequel, written and directed by Jeff Wadlow and produced by Vaughn, was released in August 2013, with Johnson, Mintz-Plasse, and Moretz reprising their roles. In 2018, Vaughn announced his intentions to reboot the series. Kick-Ass: The Dave Lizewski Years is a creator-owned comic book series written by Mark Millar and illustrated by John Romita Jr. It was initially published by Marvel Comics under the company's Icon imprint and republished under Image Comics. It is the story of Dave Lizewski, a teenager who sets out to become a real life superhero. His actions are publicized on the Internet and inspire other people. He gets caught up with ruthless vigilantes Big Daddy and Mindy "Hit-Girl" McCready, who are on a mission to take down the Genovese crime family. The first volume of the series was adapted into a 2010 film of the same name directed by Matthew Vaughn, and starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the title role. A sequel, directed by Jeff Wadlow and adapting the second and third volumes of the series, was released in 2013. As of February 14, 2018, a new Kick-Ass series, subtitled The New Girl went into publication from Image Comics, featuring new protagonist named Patience Lee, an Afghanistan war veteran and single mother who dons Kick-Ass' costume to clear her family's financial debts by robbing high-profile criminals. On February 21 2018, the first issue of a Hit-Girl series from Image Comics was published, with a successive change of writers and artists for each story arc, named as: Frank Quitely, Eduardo Risso, Rafael Albuquerque, Kevin Smith, Daniel Way and Pete Milligan. The title sees Mindy McCready leaving America to carry on her fight for justice on a worldwide scale, depicting events mentioned in the epilogue of Book Four of The Dave Lizewski Years, serving as a sequel to the main events of the series.

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
