Thanks for sharing the image of my painting, "Party Mime" on your blog!
Just as a little background on this piece, I painted it after a trip I took to China in 2008. I came home a few days before the start of the summer Olympic games in Beijing. At the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, a lovely little girl was shown singing..... but it turns out she was lip synching because the girl whose voice we heard was deemed not cute enough. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/2545387/Beijing-Olympics-Faking-scandal-over-girl-who-sang-in-opening-ceremony.html
So my 'Party Mime' title covers both the obvious (mimes often entertain us at parties) and the deeper meaning that the little girl is a mime for "The (communist) Party".
Hope you'll check out more of my paintings here: http://www.danaellyn.com
I absolutely love your work. Yes, I have checked out your site and I couldn't pick a favorite because that would be really hard to do, but I adore "Jesus gets his nails done (at the mall)" and "Tony "Babyface" Gambino ( meet your new loan officer)."
I encourage everyone to check out Dana Ellyn's amazing work. It is beautiful, breath taking, and very much inspiring.
