Abel and Frida Kahlo

When you get carried into your first exhibition on a hospital stretcher, you know there’s absolute passion and fire in the artist. Frida Kahlo was a total baws, she even won numerous tequila drinking competitions with men twice her size! There was no messing with Frida. So, one time, back in Mexico, Abel tried introducing the spray painting technique to his homegirl Frida, but she was all like: “But can I make a good self-portrait with it? Will it accentuate my eyebrows properly?” Abel just sighed, and made a perfect reproduction of her “Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird”, but still, Frida didn’t care much for the spray paint. She did get to learn a few other things from Abel, but that’s a different story…
