Liberty 2.0 & Graffiti Ghosts!


 So… I finally finished the Statue of Liberty! It was big, and cumbersome and A LOT of work! But I didn’t kick this one and I’m kinda proud of that – I must be growing up! Then I did a series of Ghostbuster stuff, graffiti style - so maybe scratch that bit about growing up =)

 

*NEW PAINTINGS*

 

Weathered, worn, tarnished… but still a steadfast beacon of hope- “Liberty Will Cu Through” The title is a play on words, Cu is the symbol for copper on the periodic table and that’s what she’s made of! So it’s “Cu” instead of “see you”.

After that challenging project, I decided I needed another one! I bought an embossed red brick panel so I could create a new painting for my rec room. It’s going to be a big, weird, graffiti style cityscape. But distractions happened and I ended up making these instead!

 

“Ghostbusters, Whaddaya Want?”


“I Feel Like The Floor Of A Taxi Cab”

 

“Focused Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm”


All 3 pieces have sold but prints are available!

Captivating Caterpillar, Angry Beaver & Feisty Fowl!

Busy month here in the studio, 7 paintings completed sofar in 2021! I’ve been inspired with a few of my own ideas and also had the opportunity to delve back in to some realism portraits. Furthermore, after a long, strenuous argument with myself, I decided to take another stab at the Statue of Liberty… So, basically, I’ve exercised all of my artistic muscles! 

These most recent critters have been sporting some ‘tude, gladitudes and baditudes… much like me right now! Let’s talk mental health – you got any?
