Ripley and Newt, acrylic on canvas

"You know, Burke, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage."

Ah, nice to see that nothing changes in the world of finance, even in the future, eh, Ellen? This was the last painting I did for the Devil's Night Art Show last Halloween at Furthur Frames in Denver. The glare in the upper left is because this canvas was still wet when i shot it, and as soon as it set, it went in the trunk and on a three day journey up the Rockies. The last two canvases I did in acrylic because of drying times, whereas most of the horror pieces were done in oils. 

Sigourney has been one of my favorites ever since she was possessed by Zuul back in 1984. I was rewatching all her films, and watching her act her way in circles around Bill Murray is even funnier than the lines being delivered. Little Carrie Henn, who played Newt, was one and done, and what a one to be in. Leave it to James Cameron to see Ridley Scott's masterpiece, and find a way to top it.
