Happy Valentine’s Day!

Rest assured, if you don’t have a Valentine this year, there’s really nothing to worry about—even idiots, creeps and xenophobes have valentines, and you’re actually half-decent, aren’t you? Love is in the hearts of even the most horrible people, and lavished on even the most manifestly undeserving. Love is totally blind and random, and thank goodness for that!
This is a drawing I did in 1998, when I was working 9 to 5, deeply depressed and in debt. It’s part of a series of stickers that I distributed to friends to stick on street signs and restaurant bathrooms from Berlin, Paris, Minneapolis to Little Neck, NY. It was just one of those things I did to keep from killing my boss. (He had a great printer! And we became great friends once I quit!)
Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

I’ll second the blindness and randomness of love, and, thankfully, our ability to extricate ourselves from the messes they get us into. Happy Valentine’s Day; I dig your art.
