From the ttc, also rob and lee

This painting is headed down to La Luz de Jesus Gallery in L.A. in March. The idea I’m toying with here is creation coupled with destruction; a prerequisite for rebirth is death… lots of symbols here and there and such.

Hi all. Here’s a fashiony, life-styley piece I did up for an illo project for my teacher Rick Sealock. It’s pretty new, and I reworked the colours yesterday so I do believe it counts. It’s a sort of visual narrative piece about an art fundraiser called Power Ball, blahblahblah, there was a picnic area where they served Goldfish Crackers(tm), Chicken McNuggets(tm), Godiva(tm) truffles, and Stella Artois(tm). I worked in a Cinderella character so the series of illustrations would have a common thread — “Cinderella” — “Power BALL”. Get it? Get it?

Happy New Year!

A portrait of Roisin Murphy, former lead of Moloko, now off doing her own thing. I really dug her latest and first solo endeavor, “Ruby Blue”.
Besides the obvious imagery driven from the album title, there’s also a proverb in here… something to do with being a “natural” at what you do.
