Bandit Raccoon at art show in Long Island, NY

Two of my other paintings at an art show in Long Island (it was supposed to be a masquerade @ Lefty's Candlelight Bar Grill... i think i was the only one wearing an actual mask...)
top: 'Siwan bed' (where I slept while in Siwa Oasis, Egypt, complete with purple mosquito netting)
bottom: "Quiero dormir con las estrellas, pero, 'La historia es una pesadilla que lo trato despertar' " -- "I want to sleep with the stars, but History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake(n from)." -- the latter part of the title comes from a quote in Joyce's Ulysses. I found it translated into Spanish at a photography exhibit in NYC, and thought it fit... I have a lot to say about this painting (don't let it's child-like appearance fool ya ;) ) ...
