Finished up a really cool new piece, "2500 Block". I knew as soon as I found the frame in a thrift store it would be epic! As the piece evolved, it was fun + exciting to play different parts in what makes a wall; tagging it with an oil pen as a vandal, whitewashing it as a graffiti cleanup crew, decrepit advertisements for things not sold in 25 years still visible, wheatpasting up DIY posters, angry shopkeepers trying to peel them down, wind + rain + time washing the whole little opera away.. building the yeti up was a challenge, with so much spackle + gel and miniature lines that get completely buried, glossed over, drawn again.. there is so much in the piece that can't be seen anymore, but those hidden parts still exude their energy and intent, each building off another. A wall of exposed secrets.
mixed media in vintage frame, 19"x26".
