“MONRCIST”
ORIGINAL JUSTIN AERNI PAINTING ON CARD STOCK PAPER. CREATED IN 2013. SIGNED , DATED AND TITLED ON THE BACK FOR AUTHENTICITY.
- My favorite movie; The Exorcist and my favorite all time celebrity; Marilyn Monroe which I have painted numerous times in my career come together in dark splendor .Remember where you saw it first. This is pop art history. This mash up has not been done by anyone else including Terry Mr.Brainwash. This painting is hand painted by me not fifty art assistants.
I like doing the work myself and I only paint things I care about.

JUSTIN AERNI - MACHINE (2013)
DRUNK FOR DAYS - AERNI - 2013
I rode that pink elephant till I bled Dom Pérignon and
what was left of my poor degenerated monkey brain melted back
into the harsh empty bottle that is our human flesh prison. Every selfish journey brings me back a little less than when I started and Mother Mary can you help me find where I’ve hidden my mind now?
