Sort of inspired by Tori

[icecreamassassin]

I just finished a new painting. It's semi-inspired by Tori's performance in Chicago at the Vic when she did "Me and a "Gun". Mostly inspired by how my ex is everywhere I go lately though.

"Power"

Acrylic on 18x24 masonite.

"Look I'm standing naked before you" I do have control now. I do. Its power I lack. Power I lost after I was with you. In the church. In your closet. Outside the bowling alley. How the hell was it so easy for you? I'm not that weak and your not that strong. Is it because I was young you were able to do that? I see you and I want to see you hurt, I want you to know how much I've gained without you and how despite all you've done, I'm better than you. I stitched myself up. And yet nothing I do can show you how much I hate you and how little you are. My anger fails to consume me and only fuels me further. When I see you, I can't express that anger and hate. I'm sure it comes out looking like fear. I am not afraid. I'm pissed. I'm pissed you look smug. Get that fucking smile off your face. No apology can appease me, I promise. One day I will make you pay. I'll smash you into pieces. For now, I have an unloaded gun and some control. "Don't you want more than my sex?"

Just wanted to share it with you.

Thanks everyone! I really need to paint more but it's so hard during school unless I have a studio class.

I have more art here:

Any paintings in the same format as this one (Waist up nude self-portrait) is pretty much part of a series. I don't have a name for the series but if I did it would be something like "What sophomore year of high school did to me." But that's rather lengthy. There's another I need to add to the series, if I ever get around to painting it.
