“Mistress, May I?”
Acrylic on Canvas, 24″ x 36″ (61 x 91.5 cm)
2011

This painting is part of a new series that aims at faster production time than the high detail oil paintings I have been making for the past couple of years.  I am deriving my subject matter from collages that I have made (primarily in photoshop).  This painting was made by first spray painting a background, then I transferred the cartoon, I laid variegated metal leaf to form the background “aura” for the cartoon character, after painting the cartoon character in I embellished the background with doodles rendered in metallic paints.  The painting was made in just 3 days.

The original is for sale – framed.  Contact me if you are interested.

This image derives from a poster I made in 1989 for my first happening, “The Circus of Mysteries”.
