Artist Statement:
“Alf was one of my favorite television shows growing up. I would watch religiously every week with my brother and sisters. Glued to the TV, we laughed as ALF would crack jokes with that cool and unbothered charm. We sighed with relief at the end of these episodes when the Tanner family cat made it out alive!
When Burger King announced the ALF puppets would be available at their restaurants, I BEGGED my mom and dad to take us to dinner there until I had every single one. To this day, I own all four and even have duplicates! Most still with their outfits and some well loved like the one in my painting. These are some of my prize possessions from a wonderful and magical childhood.”
