About this Work

Some nights are so special and sweet that they seem like a fever dream. This painting captures one of those nights in October 2019 spent getting high, carving pumpkins and talking shit on the same toxic masculinity called out in Operation Ivy’s “Smiling” ,that the painting gets its name from. The two masked figures are stand-ins for all of the wonderful friends and family members in our lives that love, listen, and make us feel less alone in the world.
