2012 Huevos Rancheros Quinceañera Celebration Silent Art Auction

Not enough. Never enough.

I did print out submission forms for the 2012 Huevos Rancheros Quinceañera Celebration Silent Art Auction and started piecing together some ideas.

First thought was that a new piece would be something in the thread of my recently begun Existential Dinner Party series…with eggs of course. “Deviled Eggs and Despair?

But then I notices something long forgotten in my idea file…”A Breakfast of Eggs and Absinthe”.

As usual, I don’t remember where the hell this came from. That’s why I put it in my idea box. I guess I should have put something in my Sketchpad. Thankfully we have google to remind me that eggs and absinthe is a great(?) morning after, hair of the dog type drink. Now I’m already thinking of using eggs in a vintage graphic sign type design on old fence pickets so if I add absinthe to the mix, I should start looking at all those wonderful Victorian absinthe lithograph posters.

So posters. Looking at posters. Need to work breakfast in there…posters…breakfast…absinthe…breakfast…Breakfast at Tiffany’s! I’m going to work Katherine Hepburn (growl!) with a chicken into this bitch…with her looking at absinthe getting poured over a cracked egg in a spoon into an absinthe glass. That’s the plan for now anyway.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

And that is what I did today to advance my art career.

After a long exile in South Texas climbing out of a nihilistic funk, Otis Woodcock has found his way back to the open skies and quiet horizons of the American prairie. Having earned an MFA from Miami University, Ohio, he left his ancestral home in southern Indiana, spending the last three decades between Louisville, Kentucky, and San Antonio, Texas, developing his Iconoclasmatic Pop Art™ practice. On this journey, an anxious recovering Catholic and cancer survivor gradually evolved into the optimistic existentialist whose work is less interested in providing answers than in questioning certainty. Today, Woodcock lives and works where the seasonal rhythms and expansive landscapes of the Midwest serve as the backdrop for an ongoing exploration of belief systems, cultural inheritance, and the subtle poetry of ordinary things.
