EXCLUSIVE!!!

 I've been working on this drawing all Summer (2 months, really, of 2022), and I finally finished. This photo is blurry, but you get the gist. It's graphite on paper (#2 mechanical pencil), roughly 24"x18". This is part of my Popeye series, which is part of my "My Heroes" series. It's ever-growing. 

There is  slideshow of the progress of the drawing on my TikTok and Instagram 

 

I Yam What I Yam....Making wut I Wants

 I am CONTINUING my Popeye series based on the live action 1980 movie starring Robin Williams. I started it about 12 years ago or more. Some were bought, many ruined in a flood.  But I'm going to show them here, starting with the most recent.

Popeye might come to WEST BRANCH!

I am in talks with the West Branch Public Library in POSSIBLY showing "POPEYE" from 1980 with Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall. Along with the showing, I would have my Popeye artwork on display in the library and I'm hoping to have some Popeye books available in the library to check out or purchase or something. It'd be a kind of mini Popeye convention. It's not set in stone (don't even know when this would be taking place, if it does), but as info comes forth, I'll keep people updated.

The more things change, the more they stay the same

The lastest in my Popeye series is completed, and I know it looks familiar. I re-created the "Popeye Family Picnic" painting, going larger, using palette knife, and zooming out to include more of the bodies. Hopefully, this one won't sell (I shouldn't say that, should I?). Below is the second painting ("Popeye Family Picnic #2) and the original painting ("Popeye Family Picnic").
