The Story Behind Tuba

Tuba - mixed media sketch - (started sometime in 2015, finished (?) sometime in 2017

This piece is a dumpster fire🔥, in fact, I literally threw it in the dumpster.

Yes, my grammar psychopath (🤓) friends, I like using the word literally and I use it correctly in sentences (at least I try to). I did not throw it in the trash or garbage, it went straight into the dumpster - literally. The piece itself, figuratively, is a dumpster fire.

I hate people when they're not polite. ANXIETY.

That's it, that's all you get on this one.

P.S., BTW, this piece is not a comment on tubas, or anyone including my friends and family who play the tuba (😉) (P.S.S., BTW... I don't think I knew you when creating this, you know who you are).

Oh, here's what AI did with it...

2025 re-imagining of Tuba - Augustina

I like the almost Augustina... it's interesting, dark, I like that.

Zuba?

Okay.....Zuba it is. I used to be a Zuppa, so.... Zuba is okay.

This one is my favorite. It really captured one aspect of what I was going for.
