Artist's Comments

Acrylics. 14x22. 2007.

In Deborah Spungen's book, And I Don't Want To Live This Life, she recounts her impression of Sid Vicious after seeing him for the first time on a television talk show...

"...Then the camera moved in on Sid. I couldn't believe it. The newspaper photos hadn't prepared me. He was extremely tall, pale, and cadaverous. With his drooping eye and malevolent expression, he had to be the creepiest-looking young man on the face of the earth. He looked like Frankenstein's monster. My daughter was living with Frankenstein's monster."

A relationship doomed from the beginning.
