Says beq:
An artist friend told me once, when he was living in Florida, he and his wife were about to put their house on the market. Their bedrooom was painted a dark blue and to give the new owners a fresh "canvas" they decided to paint it white. He got started but first, for fun, he took his brush and in big letters with the white paint wrote: "SEX TONIGHT!" on the wall above the bed.
He told me it took him four coats of paint before he could cover it up.
I’m not sure why I chose to call it Sushi Tonight (that old Japanese thingie) but I thought of him and his wife after I finished this drawing.
