I just save it, and then it sits in the archive until it starts asking for something. This one sat there for months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen days at a time, a week of nothing, more days. That is not a technique. It is how long it takes me to look at one image properly. The photograph was built for three seconds of someone's attention. I spent weeks inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt some point it stops. Not because the painting is finished, but because I am. The image has been dealt with, it no longer pulls at me, and I can go on to the next one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomething in this canvas is faintly vulgar and it never once tips into cheap. I painted her four times and I still cannot find the line it walks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat do you do with it?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInspired by a photograph of \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/riae-suicide\"\u003eRiae Suicide\u003c\/a\u003e (@riae_).

It got three seconds, if that. This canvas took weeks, and it will hang on a wall for years and be seen every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdering it takes a minute.
