The Story

This print is part of “Adultitis Fighters,” a series of paintings by Jason Kotecki featuring real and fictional characters who serve as role models in the fight against Adultitis.

Actor and comedian Lucille Ball was a great breaker of rules that don’t exist, becoming one of the first women to own a major television production company and addressing issues like marriage, pregnancy, and women in the workforce at a time when such topics were rarely discussed on television. Through her iconic character Lucy Ricardo on the television show “I Love Lucy,” she was a comedic trailblazer, portraying a strong, independent woman who wasn’t afraid to be funny, clumsy, or ambitious.

“The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.”

“In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by.”

“One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore faith in yourself.”

“I’m not funny. What I am is brave.”
