Auh, Humphrey

As a young girl, i often expressed any feelings of frustration or exhaustion with the statement, "Auh, Humphrey." i'm not exactly sure how the expression came about, but it has always been a statement of release in my life, until now.

As you can see, Mr. Bogart's head has been cast in porcelain and showcased on my friend's bedroom wall. As you turn the corner, there he hangs; suspended from a single nail in the back of his hollow head, eyes fixated on you as you travel about the room. While it's an innovative representation of the actor, i just don't like the idea of Humphrey Bogart watching my friend sleep.
