Back in the early eighties, I made a series of drawings of a table top "war" between a few harried coffee cups and a group of miliaristic teapots. I intended to put them on plexi in the form of animated film cells and superimpose them over real photos of kitchens. Last year I started redoing the whole project with the help of Ray Dream Designer and Photoshop, setting the whole conflict in my mother's kitchen in south St.Louis. The next pictures are a selection from that series.
