Hi Ellen, I'm studying humor in art at the moment, and I just wanted to ask, why fish?

I'm not sure I'd be able to give you a solid answer for that. I do like them because they're so alien looking, but I have other creatures hanging on my walls and only a small section of my book collection includes the fishes. I think my first fish painting was a coelacanth on a bicycle - I may have thought this was funny at the time. Along with different kinds of fish, I ended up painting a bunch of other animals on bicycles to fill a growing demand at the restaurants I was showing them in. When I did the Fish-Pastiche series, I was just trying to stick with one theme for a show...and I had to paint them really fast because of the deadline for that show. I guess you can call it a slight obsession, but I'm glad to hear this is for a humor in art study - I mostly just enjoy painting something with the intent of whimsy or ridiculousness. Thanks for asking! :)
