Just in case you were worried all I did was paint colourful skulls and draw Batman all day, here’s another series of small paintings from my current show at Broadview Espresso.
Like the skulls, these 8×8″ paintings were done on gallery canvas using a base of acrylic spray with hand-painted illustration overtop. I had initially done sketches of other vehicles, like hot air balloons and biplanes, but I’ve apparently got the attention span of a hopped-up goldfish, so I moved on to abstract experiments (that I’ll be posting about next).
Suffice to say I’ve had to field my share of “Yellow Submarine” questions. I really wanted to paint that a different colour, but it just fit the best. Whatever the case, I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate my coming 30th birthday by painting rocket ships and the like…
