Mother Knew a Good Breakfast Would Make Johnnie Grow Up To Be a Brilliant Businessman


With apologies to Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) for using a portion of "Business Lunch", 1946, oil and sand on canvas, 36 5/8 x 47 1/4 inches.  Mother and Johnnie from a vintage advertisment.

  1. This is just delightful! I'm a huge fan of Dubuffet, and I really like what you did with his work.

  2. While we're making a nod to Dubuffet, we should recall that the word "collage" is credited as having been coined by him.

    2. I'm doing better. Yesterday, today, I've started to feel more human. I'm finally out of the phase when you obsess about your lost loved one literally 24-7, even when you're asleep. That phase is rough.
