As someone who used to work in a scenic and fabrication shop, I was intrigued by a new show on Disney+ titled “Prop Culture.” The premise centers around a man who collects movie props and hunts down props that may be missing or tucked away in odd locations. When I realized that one of the […]
Read more "Prop Culture"For the 1970’s category of the 15 Squared Art Show, I considered a few ideas, but settled on my first introduction to pop culture (and The Muppets)… Sesame Street! Sesame Street is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, so honoring this show felt right. However, I didn’t want to paint the more obvious characters. I […]
Read more "The 1970’s"I am embarrassed to admit that I just watched “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas” for the very fist time yesterday. In my defense, I will say that I saw it on the big screen as it returned to theaters for a limited engagement as part of a “Jim Henson Holiday Special” that also included “The Bells […]
Read more "Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas"I am so pleased to announce that my painting – “Animal!” – will be included in the upcoming “Animalia” show at SoBo Gallery! Hosted by the Winter Garden Art Association, opening night is Thursday, September 6th from 5:30 – 8:00pm. The event is FREE and open for all to attend. If you can’t make it […]
Read more "Animalia"I have wanted to paint an “extreme close-up” shot of Animal from The Muppets for a very long time now. I am so glad I finally made the time and bit the bullet because I am rather pleased with the results. My summer has been extremely busy and I have not had much time to […]
Read more "Animal!"The original Muppet Babies animated show debuted in September of 1984. However, the public got their first glimpse of the Muppets as babies in the film “The Muppets Take Manhattan” which debuted that summer. In that film, Miss Piggy daydreams about what it would have been like if they had all known each other as […]
Read more "Baby Animal"THANK YOU to everyone who made it to the opening of the “Totally 80’s!” Art Show this past weekend at The Barefoot Spa! It was a wonderful turn out and all the guests seemed to really enjoy the trip back in time to the decade of excess. My favorite part was seeing what people connected […]
Read more "Baby Kermit"The 1980’s are back and in a BIG way! Shows like “Stranger Things” and “G.L.O.W.” are pure 80’s and even film remakes, like “It,” shift the story’s time period from the 1960’s to the 1980’s. The love for the 80’s is everywhere – especially in design – if you take the time to look for […]
Read more "The 1980’s"This was a funny piece I painted a few years ago depicting Sam the Eagle from The Muppets as Spock from Star Trek (the original series). I gave this painting to my sister as she is a big Star Trek fan. I am a huge fan of pop culture “mash-ups.” When the combination of two […]
Read more "Sam the Eagle as Spock"This is the fourth and final piece I created for the 3rd Annual Puppet Art Show that I have featured on this blog many times. The event was quite a few years ago here in Orlando and the artwork on display was incredible. Of course, I went with a Muppet theme, but in this case, […]
