Snooch By Me

I stole this title from a guy called Sean who follows me on Facebook.

So I posted this morning’s bedhead, as one does…

A nonzero number of people asked about the painting behind me, which shows up in a lot of bedhead photos, since it’s in my office.

So I posted a picture of it, along with a story…

This is for everyone who wanted to see a full shot of the painting that was behind this morning’s bedhead.

This was done by David Mac Dowell, and it was in the Crazy4Cult show that @thatkevinsmith curated back in 2008.

In 2008, Anne and I were living paycheck to paycheck, and there was no way we could afford to buy art, but I wanted to see it in person, so we went to the show. It was many thousands of dollars that we couldn’t afford, but that didn’t matter, because it had already been bought.

Five or six weeks later, the show closed. A week or so after that, this painting arrived at my door with a note that said, “Dear Wil, you can’t not have this. -Kevin”

Yeah. Kevin Smith bought this for me and gave it to me as a gift.

I love it, and I look at it every day, because it reminds me of the time that Kevin did something so kind and generous for me, because that’s the kind of person he is.

Then I linked it to Facebook, and someone there said “Snooch By Me” and now the circle is complete.
