"New Stuff"

Hey-Just filling in whats been going on=The next one will be a nod/parody/satire/homage to this awesome painting by Robert Williams. I've always loved this as one of my fave paintings ever, and have had it taped to my wall the past 2 months, staring at it and wondering how I could do it justice without losing its thunder. Im just going to make it a willy wonka themed thing and just have fun painting it! Wish me luck:)

"Bad Motha' Eraserhead"

18 x 24 Acrylic on Canvas. I did this for a David Lynch Tribute show{The Big Tuna I think its called}-coming up at The Alcove Gallery in Decatur GA and Did another for Distinction Gallery show in Aug.. I did this one using only black,white and violet..Came out cool in the end and maybe I should do more monochromatic stuff, for It was pretty fun and time-wise= it was a breeze. I've wanted to illustrate this image for over a year now, but Travis Louie did an eraserhead painting at RoqLaRue and it totally blew me away= so I was gun shy to do it..But aw hell..I did it anyway{as usual;P}

"The Little Prince"

18 x 18 acrylic on gesso board. A definite nod to Ryden's "Little Boy Blue". Came out pretty cool but my whole intention from the beginning was to add a few drops of {purple} rain coming down=but then ultimately chimped out thinking that it would obscure the cloud/light composition going on in the background there.

"Breakfast Hawks"

14 x 18 Acrylic on Canvas. Not too totally earth-shattering but it is what it is, I guess. Someone will like it;P

"Pretty In Pink"

24 x 30 Acrylic on Canvas. I want to keep doing Breakfast Club mash-up's with old classic paintings, but theyre totally time consuming trying to emulate the painters palate's/styles. Next is maybe "Nighthawks"/Breakfast Club but Im not sure. Whenever I research paintings on the net I always run across that Ron English usually did it first and usually better..Thats why I've only visited the mans website maybe 3 times in my life, because he's already done alot of ideas that Ive been contemplating and I could never top his stuff, so why even try. I know he's done a "Nighthawks" parody {like a billion others have} and he did it with the diner filled with sharks as if it were a gigantic fishtank..Genius! How could I top that?
