Here's a new-ish painting I finished recently. It's acrylic paint on a 16"x20" canvas.
I had it ready just in time for the EAV Strut a couple of weeks ago. I had a few people stop and ask if I was channeling my inner Phantom Troublemaker. Originally this was going to have the Mexican flag as the background. After I painted it (from memory), I realized I had actually painted the Hungarian flag. Whoever ever heard of a Hungarian luchador? So much for using visual references. So I ended up using colors from the mask instead. There is a line in red sharpie just under the wording that's got to have at least 6 coats of paint on it before I was able to cover it up. The day after drawing the B! logo it occurred to me that I may have just invented the Big Lots logo. Luckily I hadn't (visual references!). I have another painting using the same character that I'm just about finished with. It turned out pretty well and I'll post it as soon as it's done.
