from the artist:
So the idea for this piece came from...what else...eating cheetos. My fingers turned orange and I noticed it created an accidental mark on my clothes. From there my thoughts went to fabric as a surface....poof...it made me think of velvet paintings. The Virgin of Guadalupe, Unicorns, and probably the most famous incarnation of velvet painting. The Velvet Elvis. It's kitsch. It's cheesy. Thus a Velvet Elvis painted with cheese puffs.

young Elvis was a very cute little cheese puff indeed
no wonder all the girls loved him back in the Elvis-movie period . . . hubba hubba
i think this little video proves he is still very much in the cultural psyche . . . a truly unforgettable character!

hi alt_ed,
i see conversing with David has improved your manners! haha
he is a little obsessed with anal sex, sex toys, and masturbation . . . oh and my writing, and me, and you
someone might need to book him into a mental health facility before he grabs a pea-shooter and a dildo and heads to a clock-tower to shower his sacred seed upon the unsuspecting crows
