“Still Life For Those Lost on The Vernal Equinox (Richard, Ivy, & Ukraine)”

 

18 in. x 12 in. mixed media collage (paper, black latex paint, gunmetal gray metallic spray paint, Mod Podge) on two smaller black canvases fused together with hot glue down the middle, framed with metallic washi tape on their side edges

With sympathies for the recent passing of our most dearly beloved — and the many, many strangers. Channeling an autumn color palette despite it now being technically “spring”

"High on the Hog"

12 in. x 9 in. surreal collage/sequin art on spray-painted canvas with sparkle washi tape edging

Second in a set of meat-themed decorative (albeit bizarre) pieces created for my dentist, @downeasttraeger on Instagram — a “grill guy” with over 30K drooling followers and company sponsorship. So I hope to trade him for a cavity next week, maybe?

“The Gammon Gamine: Fallen in Pollen, the Rasher Will Catch Her”

12 in. x 9 in. surreal collage/sequin art on spray-painted canvas with sparkle washi tape edging

One of a pair of pieces created for my dentist, @downeasttraeger on Instagram — he’s a “meat aficionado” with literally thousands of drooling followers and sponsorship from a grill company. So I hope to trade him for a cavity filling if I’m lucky!

"Tropical Contact High (Kokomo)"

10 in. x 8 in. painting-collage with heavy black enamel on reverse, sparkle washi tape edge, and textured surfaces using latex tube colors with a base of metallic spray paint over a previous collage (see January 19th's somewhat silly post of frolicking lambs)
