JUNK ART~ DEAD MOSQUITO COLLAGE~!

Back when I lived in Philadelphia, I found this

really cool ornate painting frame in the trash...

Could NOT let such a thing go to waste ! So,

during a hot sticky Summer filled with nasty

blood-sucking Mosquitoes, I created this

Monsterpiece. It is made out of smashed

up bits from an old stereo system, with

an acrylic background. The overall

image is meant to depict a DEAD

Mosquito laying on a tile kitchen

floor. The outer frame did not

survive multiple moves, but

I still have the central piece

which hangs proudly in the

Green Machine~ my old

1976 Dodge Sportsman

Motorhome~ that now

serves as my office.

It is rather fitting

because the bugs

here on Ocracoke

are brutal. The

painting gives

me pleasure

and warns

Squittors~

"BEWARE ! OR YOU WILL DIE !"
