Inspiration for This Work

The idea behind my paintings has to do with my comments toward Hollywood and it's films. I've replaced the character in the movie poster (in this instance, Uma Thurman) with myself in order to comment on the effect Hollywood has on everyday people; how it affects our ideals and actions.
