"The St. Pete Butthole"
In this cheeky yet poignant 18x24" painting, Bob the Robot—our chrome-hearted wanderer—dutifully walks Keith Haring’s iconic barking dogs past “The St. Pete Butthole,” a swirling, radiant portal wedged between a condo development and a fading mural. This isn't just any orifice into the unknown—it’s a wormhole to an alternate St. Pete, one where rent doesn’t break spirits and artists still thrive in daylight. Saturated with neon pop references, street art lineage, and a wink at our local absurdities, the piece balances humor with heartbreak. It’s a love letter to a city slipping away, and a portal of hope that maybe, just maybe, we’ll find our way back.
