In Memory of Kurt Vonnegut
11/11/1922 - 04/11/2007

I found out recently that Kurt Vonnegut passed away on Wednesday, April 11th 2007. Vonnegut was my favorite author by a great margin above all others, and needless to say, I was rather upset at this loss. He possessed a very unique writing style and talent that I have never witnessed any other author even come close to. So, I felt like making a painting in memory of this man of immense talent.

My Favorite Bokononist calypso from Cat's Cradle

I wanted all things
To seem to make some sense,
So we all could be happy, yes,
Instead of tense.
And I made up lies
So that they all fit nice,
And I made this sad world
A Par-a-dise.

Best Bokononist foma from Cat's Cradle:

"Prosperity is just around the corner"

Rest in peace Kurt. That is one man who I will miss greatly. But as he always said, he would never wish someone back alive after discovering that life is so full of crock shit.
What a great man
And an amazing book that Cat's Cradle I must add.
