Obscure artist Tom Hicks has been invited to exhibit his paintings at the Waukesha, Wisconsin Library.

“I’m filling a 32 foot wall behind the computer area on the first floor I paint on pretty big canvases because I don’t like to wear my glasses when I work. I filled the entire space with just 8 of my paintings.” said Hicks.

The artist’s favorite: “Scuba Diver Captured by Aliens”

When asked which of the paintings were his favorite, Hicks replied, “That would have to be Scuba Diver Captured by Aliens. It’s a real mind f***er, Man. There was a guy standing in front of that painting for maybe a half-hour while I was putting up my exhibit today. I asked him if he liked it and he replied that the same thing happened to him while he vacationed in Florida. He told me the aliens thought he was a fish and released him just after his air tank emptied.”

Waukesha Library managers refused to comment on the exhibit, but an employee said that she thought it was a colorful, interesting exhibit and perhaps it would decrease the amount of porn surfed by patrons in the library’s computer area.

The art exhibit will run through the month of February. Hicks said, “I’m gonna return at the end of the month and install a fresh batch of stuff, if they let me. And those paintings will be up until the end of March.”

The Waukesha, Wisconsin library is located at 321 Wisconsin Avenue and the exhibit will be open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Thursday, and at 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
