fake tattoos
on his
friends' arms
in high school.
Bunjee's images are
the misanthropic night-
time creations of a shopping
mall janitor who's picked up
Bibo, Barney, Fred Flintstone and other
cultural warriors, now, after too many
merchandising campaigns, in various
states of dismemberment and distress.
These drawings are made for those who

SThese are
the signs and
symbols of an
enormous inside
joke: a cryptic lan-
guage for people smart
enough to know they pose only because
they don't know what else to do. Here
comes your man, don't miss him or
you'll miss the joke.
