The guttural Baby Jane quality of this piece is just stunning.

No, Courts, you did it! You finally ARE Frances Farmer. You've lobotomized yourself with drugs and drink but still run around free as a bird and nuttier than a pecan roll.

14 gets it on time like da UPS.

Courtney may act nuts but honestly her music ROCKS! Plus she's better looking that the fake ass young Hollywood.

Courtney is now very, very rich, thanks to her late hubby, and doesn't have to run around debasing herself for money anymore.

I'm not sure if it was indeed Courtney who wrote me, but it sure seemed like it. It was a rambling incoherent diatribe in which the person called me a "female pornographer" because of the way I painted Courtney Love. I can only guess it was her because it was written while she was going through her "troubled" times in court. I chose not to publish the email because the person who wrote it asked me not to. Whether it was REALLY Courtney or not, the person sure was angry about the way I painted her and boy, she really let me have it!

Hi! i saw a blurb about you in the NY Post... i had to check out your page. LOVE IT. great work!!!!! you have amazing talent! But, what i was really hoping to see was the EMAIL from C. Love that you mentioned in the article .. ;p
Beautiful work - can't say it enough.

Beautiful! You have really "captured the moment". I love it.

come on.. no talent?!! wether you like her or not is a fabulous musician, her albums with Hole were amazing and she is a hell of a lot better musician then all the stupid pop crap we are forced to sugffer through these days. She puts out a strong message and has great lyrics!!! great lyrics and songs of empowerment.. oh and the reason Kurt killed himself was because he was a pathetic loser who couldn't handle the pain we all experience in life. i loved kurt and i loved his music but he chose the selfish pathetic way out. I know Courtney hasn't made the best choices in her life but at least she has the strength to continue through her life and not wuss out with a bulet to the head!

Good, but could have been more drug addicted looking!! Red eyes and such, but she is definitely a Sea Hag Has Been who should have never made it famous. She is a no talented, drug addict bitch .... NO WONDER WHY kURT TO HIS OWN LIFE!!

They should've done a "If Kurt Lived" one; see how he'd turn out.

That is a remarkably kind picture and so is not exaggerating her giant inflated trout pout. It's true, Courtney is a crazy bitch and I miss the old slag's antics as well.
