(ORIGINAL AVAILABLE) “Ballard’s Failed Escape” 18x24 Oil On Panel 2024. The Mentorship Program 8/9. This painting comes framed! Yay! US orders only please (Prints always ship internationally, of course.)

According to the journal of the late Ballard Diffenback, a salesman for the Telegraph Cookie Company, he tried to sneak away from the Pleiandian’s island compound and escape their odious Mentorship Program for Advanced Success and Personal Growth. 

At this point all journal entries stop, so we have to speculate his story from here out.  Archeological cookie evidence suggests that Ballard was able to board a row boat and voyage back to the shores of New Banks in the Southwestern Bellows, but it appears that when he arrived, the Pleiadians were waiting for him. He was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak. 

**Artist note: I enjoyed the juxtaposition of Ballard’s low-tech ship below and the Pleiadian’s high-tech ship above. Also, I enjoyed painting their pupils red. This painting is guaranteed to bring you lots of spooky joy and fun talking points when hosting parties! Did you notice the cookie on the boat? That one is a peanut butter chocolate chip. So tasty! Also vegan!
