CLIENT ZERO by artist Nora ThompsonAcrylic on wood, 8 x 10. 75, routed edge frame to 8. 75 x 11. 5 Like most artists, I grew up getting in trouble for the art I created on my parents' floors, walls and furniture. It didnt help that I signed everything so I wasnt able to blame my siblings. By the time I hit second grade, I became a tattoo artist for my classmates in spite of inadequate, under the table pay and their being forced to bathe. I like to think of it as my first paying gig.
