Artist’s Muse Now Hanging Around the House In Sweat Pants All Day

3/03/2010

BUTTE, MT – Upon losing his job at the credit union, Grant Coffey, the muse/live-in boyfriend of sculptor and painter Shaina Burns, now spends his days lounging around their apartment in sweat pants, it was reported Wednesday. Upon winning a regional art contest and gaining local notoriety in the fall of 2007, Burns once named Coffey as her “sole muse & inspiration” for much of her artwork during an interview with the Montana Standard.  “Did you pick up another box of wine?” Burns’ afflatus asked when she returned from teaching an adult education class on watercolors. “We’re all out of wine. I thought we could have pasta tonight but I don’t wanna have pasta if we don’t have any wine to go with.” When not napping, drinking, or watching hours of television on end, Burns’ creative influence occasionally plays video games at a friend’s house before returning home in the early morning. “I’m just gonna run out and grab some Subway,” Burns’ muse said. “You got a couple bucks on you? I wanna get a footlong.” As of press time, Burns’ artistic stimulus was located at Blockbuster, debating between White Chicks and American Pie 2.
