There were some negative comments about the photo at the time. Some said he looked ill (maybe he was, as it turned out) and others said he looked 70/80! But I suppose it will bring variety to your collection.Started Morrissey In Mexico

Morrissey’s face is so expressive, that each photo is different, so yes, you’re right, it will definitely add variety to my paintings of him. In this photo, he looks like he’s coping with disappointment, to my eyes.There were some negative comments about the photo at the time.

Sharon looks like she smells of celery soup, urine, an old washcloth and desperation. Which I think was Audrey's point.
There seems to be a lot of sadness there. I didn't take much notice at the time, but it does seem so. But with him taking things to heart so much, it could just be that having this photo taken saddened him as it delayed his tucking into his crisps, if he calls them that now, having spent so much time away from the UK. If his diet is as limited as he says he might have been desperate for them. The delayed chip photo. But then the subsequent cancellations make me feel mean for saying that.

No, she looks like someone on a lot of medication who has snuffly breathing and pesters strangers to take sticky notes with things written on them in the hopes they'll be her friend.Be kind! That was not my point. My point was, she looks sort of dour even when she's happy and full of hope. She looks like a feminist granny who eats unsalted sunflower seeds. She looks like she could be riding a clunky vintage bicycle to the recycling center (sorry, centre) on a rainy day, like Philip Larkin cycling to the library. These are all things I associate with a Smiths aesthetic.
Oh but you’re not desperate. Not, at all. Never.Sharon looks like she smells of celery soup, urine, an old washcloth and desperation. Which I think was Audrey's point.
What do you do? You just judge others. That’s all you do it seems, except for doing your job at the grocery store. What a great difference you make. Much better than I do, in your expensive coats and cheap shoes. Earth shattering.No, she looks like someone on a lot of medication who has snuffly breathing and pesters strangers to take sticky notes with things written on them in the hopes they'll be her friend.

Some people seem to feel annoyed by me offering them the Morrissey sticky notes, but many show that they’re pleased, and some listen to Morrissey and then, the next time they see me, tell me that they really liked him. My shyness has been creeping back into me and I’ve been giving out less and less of the sticky notes. That would be very fun, to ride a bike on a gray afternoon with Morrissey and a group of fellow 60-something year olds.The sticky notes are an annoyance, and very un-Smiths-like, but her looks transcend her sticky note mania. Put it this way: if they make an updated 40th anniversary video for Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before, with Morrissey and a group of fellow 60-somethings riding bikes on a gray afternoon, Light Housework could definitely be cast for that.
