I've been sitting here, patiently, waiting for you to ask about him. Yes, "colorful" is appropriate, although I might go with VAGINA-OBSESSED.
Let's call him "Andy." Andy likes sports. Always talking about sports. Not that talking about sports is a bad thing. But he is one of those guys who reiterates all the silly facts that are spouted off during the time-outs of football games. Andy also suffers from Tourette's-like outbursts. For example, I was walking behind him towards the restroom one afternoon (our office -- perhaps due to
heightened security -- locks the bathrooms at 5pm), and when he got to the door and found it locked, he pounded on it and screamed, "What the fuck!? C'mon!" He is weird. My co-workers who sit near him report that he often cusses at him computer screen for no reason.
Back to the vagina. A few months ago, Andy asked if I knew anyone who built websites. Foreseeing this question may end with me spending more time that I want to around Andy, I immediately said I knew no one. A week or two later, I hear him announce that he has a website of his "work." Out of curiosity, I check it out. Man, the dude is kind of creepy. It's a website of his paintings. They are all pretty vagina-centric. Anyway, I am not gonna link the website or the photos, 'cause I wouldn't be surprised if Andy clubbed me to death should he find out. But I did copy a few .jpgs of the paintings as well as his Artist Statement. Tell me if you think I am working with a nut job:

Artist Statement
I am an untrained painter but have always lived as an artist. In my painting, I stick with basic colors and use life perplexing questions as well as scenes from everyday life as inspiration for subject matter.
From there, I paint . As I work , the basic idea evolves into the finished product. Through this process, I try to use the colors to move the heart and the title to move the mind so that as one views the art the heart and mind can come together and the viewer can experience a moment of personal truth; a view into the soul.
This process allows me to understand the purpose of art and, in turn, provides a purpose and meaning to life: evolution.

Creepy, right? Dude is going to axe someone one day. I can
feel it. If "Talking in My Sleep," "Portrait of Anxiety," and "Broken Dreams" aren't cries for help (besides being awful titles for awful paintings), than I don't know what is...
