I want Fran Lebowitz to call me illiterate and then look at me like this. 

 Martin Scorsese Presents | Pretend It’s A City

Watched #PretendItsACity - @martinscorsese_ 's series of interviews with #FranLebowitz - I thought it was pretty great, funny and exploring the parts of her personality, someone somewhat caught in a different era but also hyper aware of feeling out of step with this one-with both a certain sense of humility coupled with an I-don't-give-a-fuck defiance of it existing simultaneously. And also being exposed to the part of her personality which is every New Yorker of the 70s, 80s, 90's grievances boiled down and concentrated into one person, still raging hard in 2020, really brought me back. #drawing #sketching #sketch #sketchbook #moleskine #watercolor #pen #art #netflix #artistsoninstagram (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKaJBcrFaeb/?igshid=46y3bbe1accv

Fran is fucking hot and I love her. 

The first painting I did while in lock down in March, featured a portrait of Fran Lebowitz (with cigarette) in the upper right, and Martin Scorsese bottom center. I choose my images instinctively, not based on who they are. Somehow these two figures just seemed to fit the composition. Their expressions suited the concept, and, incidentally, two people I admire. I had no idea that they had been working together on a new TV series which was recently released. Psychic?? The painting is called, “Red Sky in Morning”, based on the old saying “Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”, that I know from my sailing days. This was when the virus was bearing down on the city, a frightening time. Enjoyed the series, check it out if you haven’t seen it yet. “Pretend It’s a City”, on Netflix. #franlebowitz @martinscorsese #martinscorsese @pretenditsacity #pretenditsacity #oilpaintingartist #contemporaryfigurativeart #contemporaryfigurativepainting #contemporarycolor #nyartistscircle #carolynoberst @nyartistscircle #nyartistscircle (at Tribeca) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWsB01FQh1/?igshid=1lvzhkuz4z3fj
