Revelation - Kids are Better Artists!
I've been hacking away at this art bit for about seven years now and I've been told a couple of times, "my kid can do better than that". I think many artists have heard this same thing, unless of course you are painting scenes of sodomy or mass-murder... no one really wants to claim their youngsters can conjure up a better take on those subjects - so I never gave it much thought. Well, color me wrong, because I've got 3 little Gundito's of my own at home and they are hands down the better artists. I would not have ever considered putting a bow tie on a shark, or drawing a dog that no amount of Visine could even begin to sooth or a dog so scrappy you can't help but love em'... these kids got it!
Enjoy the art.

Hot Dog!!! We have a Weiner.
Thanks for the great submissions. I never knew how demented my fan base really was - come to think of it, maybe that’s why I don’t get shown in galleries. They are afraid of who might show up.
Anyway – the big wiener is one of my longest collectors and supporters and was chosen by a real art school graduate (not me of course). My friend Mushy the art school graduate stated, "This piece was chosen due to the fact it was most Gundito-like and Jesusy!". He went on to say, "Also it's probably the only one you have the skill level to pull off". Um, thanks.
Hopefully I’ll have the sucker painted in time for Thanksgiving at Micro’s house. God bless
Here is the chosen entry.

New shit is always going on at Gundito's studio!
We all know the old masters used oil paint - but I bet they never thought of using oil from a 1969 Honda Scrambler - With a lit Nat Sherman to boot! If I don't catch my flowing locks on fire, this should be one hell of a piece of art. Stay tuned to see how this one comes together.
