so now i'm finally able to get some serious work done on this thing now that school is out for the summer. i've gotten about 9-10 hours into it in the last weekend and last night. so my goal is to finish it THIS WEEK. that's 7 days. i can see a lot of long nights ahead....

the background, i finally decided (thanks to my wife coming up with the idea), is going to be a wall of beer cans. think about andy warhol's soup cans, all stacked on top and side by side of each other. it's gonna be like that but with a bunch of wrinkled Milwaukee's beast cans... cuz that's what he drinks.

and it'll just drive home the fact that this is about the banality of being white trash that much more.
