Turbulent Times - Completed on 2/11/03

Created using Illustrator 8, I needed an ad for a magazine. At the time I was very upset do to the women that were in my life. The 4 fish from left to right is, Susan Lee, Imelda Dewajani, Lisa Williams (she is catching the heart), and Ceally Carandang. The crab represents my ex-partner John Beausang.

The fish have cups for tails shaped like hearts. I did this because I thought that they all wanted as much of my love as they could get. Lisa had no hard times getting my undivided attention at this time in my life. The others could not say the same. I used Ceally in the painting because of a dream I had about her while creating this image.

I am tied to the aquarium because of my responsibility to the women that were in my life at the time. The hearts spinning violently in the jar represents my emotionally turbulent heart.
