The Body Is His Book #50 (2009) Painting by David Schoffman

The artist David Schoffman, sometimes known as D. Schoffman or D.A. Rachamim, is a fictional character, an invention of the actual artist, David Schoffman. Together with the Cuban painter Micah Carpentier, the Parisian bon-vivant Currado Malaspina and the fetching conceptualist Dahlia Danton, Schoffman (the fictional one) has taken part in the creation of over 200 manifestos and half a dozen frivolous lawsuits. An avid though still amateur athlete, David competes regularly for whatever professional table scraps remain available to third tier working artists. His great misfortune has been his abject failure in luring a comely heiress to subsidize his various artistic endeavors. Consequently, he spends far too many hours teaching semi-somnolent students and purchasing lottery tickets from bowling alley vending machines.
