from the series "EL MATADOR" painted via computer using PAINTBRUSH..
When I was a young impreshionable teen, I planned to be the first North Americano to be heralded as a ' matador el supremo! I visioned myself in my "suit of lights" vanquishing the bull, and at the moment of truth tapping the bull on the forehead with my sword intead of stabbing him through the shoulder blade and severing his spinal chord. I knew this would be a noble gesture that would eventually lead to the bull goring me and thrusting his horn through my body and spinnning me about on his horns before he slammed my torn bleeding body to the arena floor and trampled me unmercifully with his brutal hoofs...but I would die a hero, as my blood spilled out on the ground...AH...SUCH ARE THE FOOLISH DREAMS OF YOUTH!
.
The saga continues....for how long, only God knows!
