That guy has some “issues”

Warhol mass produced and a repro of his is as good as the original. Let the man have it.

Everyone knows Jaclyn Smith was the hot one.
he talks to a painting
Nice....
Not really, he just uses the picture as a foil because he can’t talk to her directly any more.
I do believe he loves her and misses her.
