New Painting from the series I’m working on “street portraits”. First I take some random snapshots while I’m walking around. Then I find the best shots, and then I paint them. I like the idea of painting portraits of people I don’t know and the narratives which can develop because of how they are dressed, or what they are holding.The painting measures 9.5 inches x 12 inches (30cm x 23.5cm) and is oil on canvas board.

Beginning a new series of paintings based upon the new revelations obtained from wikileaks. In this painting I’ve chosen to paint Hillary Clinton with some basic biometric data. You can read the whole story of her involvement in spying on diplomats at the UN here.

Another thrift store painting modification. The original painting was so hideous that I couldn’t think of anything to do with it for quite some time. That clunky ass fence completely broke up the whole composition. The sky was also really strange. Getting way too dark on the top left corner. This really weighs down that corner, and creates a sense of gloom over the house. So I taped off what I wanted to save and spray painted the whole sky a gradating dark blue. I then created the planet by spraying a lot of colors together and then dabbing it with shiny newspaper advertisements. The fence and the bridge had to go,  I wanted a human element. So I created this generic looking little alien guy. I like to think of him just as a normal alien. Chillin outside his cottage at night and looking up at the sky and wondering if anything is out there. lol.

Another painting of a little boy. Seems like most of the thrift store art I’ve scrounged up so far deals with either nature (including a large body of water such as a lake or a stream) or children. There’s also all the Jesus paintings, but those are so easy to mess with that it isn’t even challenging. In this painting I did my best to try and copy the boys face and turn it in the opposite direction. It’s an interesting challenge because I was looking at the right side as reference and trying to mirror it. I also changed the first page on the book to a black cat. Why a black cat? I’m not sure. All the modifications were done in acrylics, and then a heavy glaze was poured on. I do this not only to create a a unifying color, but it also makes the surface smooth and I like being able to see brush strokes, but not the texture of the brushstrokes.

When I first got this painting it was completely faded. I started layering some glazes on the background and then slowly built up the trees again. Of course the Swamp Thing was an easy character to place in this environment since as I built up the background it started getting really dense and murky. Then, once the painting was finished I applied a very thick glaze. This gives the surface a very high shine.

This painting was a reproduction printed on paper and secured to cardboard. I then hand painted in new shoes, pigtails, and made the chin smaller. I also painted the frame pink, and glazed the color of the shirt pink as well. The original painting was of a boy and can be seen in the second image. My intent was to make subtle changes which would make a little boy playing with a truck into a little girl playing with a truck. AFter all the modifications were finished the entire surface was covered with a thick glaze of acrylic medium which unifies the painting and make the modifications blend into the original work seamlessly.
