Thanks for the comments... I posted this out of curiousity...Its just a sketch I had laying around that a couple of friends reacted very strongly to. I really didnt think much of the painting.

So..i figured I would see what comments it would bring here.

Lori, dont know what that word means...

Never heard of Chaime...

Thanks for everyone elses comments on this gnarly piece of plastic.
