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.

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.

Sequel to “Eat Acid, Yell At Cops” . I used acrylic with loads of medium to build up a dynamic background. It worked out allright. The finishing layers were all done in oils.
