I'm happy to say that I've finished all the work for my show in Coral Gables, FL, which occurs on the fifth day of the eleventh month of the Gregorian 2,010th year. I am relieved fo sho, although I'm not 100% sure if the work has arrived safely. I'm just gonna assume that it did. God I hope it did.
The two paintings I've posted here are for that show. I feel I should explain what they signify, but meh. I'm tired of the whole fighters thing. If anyone would like to know tell me, I'll happily tell you, but I don't feel like explaining it now. What I WILL explain is the sketch you see. Now that is something I'm excited for.
I've recently found myself captivated with the macabre and, specifically, all things zombie. Actually, I've been into the whole zombie thing for a while. I sleep with a katana by my bed. I have a machete in my studio. Apparently I would last for 1+ years in a zombie apocalypse according to a completely reliable Facebook quiz. I know there's a lot more I need to know and own in order to be prepared, but I'm down with the whole dealio. So now I want to bring the zombie thing into my art, and one way I want to do that is make fairly large paintings of party scenes wherein the partygoers have been replaced with zombies and yet-to-be-zombies. It will be fun to create a new narrative based on what I stumble across in these party pictures. This will probably be the next painting I do, and I hope to stay interested enough to do more of them.
