Business of Illness- Motherfucking DONE
Well, except for the gold leaf. But otherwise, art beast is motherfucking dead. I spent my evening not going to a movie and instead writing the Hippocratic Oath in greek on her scroll-body
The original of this has been sold, BUT my next piece, A New England, is not. I also just titled the painting after that, about the Egyptian revolution. It's called The People Want The Fall of the Regime and the beautiful and brilliant Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy will pose for the central figure.
Onwards, comrades!

awesome job
Creator Molly Crabapple on May 28, 2012
Re Joan: Thank you! The show is tentatively scheduled for March, but I'm not going to book a space and thus date till around November. This is because I want to book a storefront in Manhattan, and storefronts get filled and emptied at short notice. It's not really possible to book a venue like that 10 months in advance.
Creator Joan Suarez on May 28, 2012
Absoluitely spectacular! Do we have a date for the show opening yet?
Creator Catwho on May 28, 2012
That is just absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see what the remaining paintings look like.
