Starting a new painting tonight. This idea for this one has been rattling around my brain for about a year or so. The title definitely suggests a play on words but the foundation of the idea lay in the lyrics of Jeff Tweedy for the Wilco song Sunken Treasure.
"But there is no sunken treasure, rumored to be.
Wrapped inside my ribs in a sea black with ink."
ME TREASURE CHEST
16x20

How come I haven't heard of Jeff Tweedy before? I listened to a solo verson of him doing Sunken Treasure, very Dylanesque with the acoustic guitar, harmonica, and gravelly voice. Wikipedia lists Wilco as alternative rock, my favorite genre - I'll have to give them a listen.
The sketch looks very interesting, cool play on words. Is that a boot or will it be a seaworm infested wooden leg?

Well Wilco has not been a top 40 band, so other than stumbling upon them on Conan or Letterman you may never hear of them. They originally fit into what is called Alt Country. Like all bands, I guess, their sound has evolved. Tweedy is an amazing songwriter in my opinion. I recommend anything by Wilco, I favor the more recent (for the most part) although BEING THERE, is one of my faves! On their most recent a song called COUNTRY HAS DISAPPEARED is one of my all time favorite songs, check it out if you can.
As to the painting, thanks and I think this guy has been down there a long time...I can't really see any clothing left....but who knows!

Okay, enough stalling now!  2 days is too long to wait for an update. My mind is full of options on which way you'll go next, can't wait!
