In 1997 I took a great photo of Scott Marshall, lead guitarist of punk band Belvedere, and instantly knew I was going to use it in some manner or other. Drifting off to sleep one night, I thought of the pun in the title and the painting instantly appeared in my thoughts of a Godzilla-sized Scott leaping over downtown Tokyo (which is a still from the original Godzilla movie) in a destructive fury. Puns and visual jokes abound in this work.
