Man of La Mancha

By Jeremiah Stansbury

When we get paintings like this piece by Jeremiah Stansbury, I like to wander around Defenestration HQ and ask everyone what their initial impression is upon viewing the piece. So here were a few reactions:  

Andrew: “It actually reminds me of you, Luigi. Remember that time in Scotland when we went to that lake in the middle of the night, and I said, ‘Don’t get too close to any green horses,’ and you didn’t listen and got near one anyway? Remember how I had to save you from those kelpies? They gave me a medal after that. Remember that medal?”

Eileen: “PONIES!”

Genevieve: “That person’s going to cut the sun in two. And then, candy will come out. I speak, of course, of the piñata theory of the universe. Would you care for a pamphlet?”

Haratron: “I never understood art. I never understood horses, either. What I do understand is electronics and pornography, and this reminds me of neither.”  

Bigfoot: “I see the Man of La Mancha.”
