Long Ago & Far Away

This is another painting in the "Comic Book" series.  Of course this one is also autobiographical. This trompe-l'oeil (to fool the eye) is different from the classical method in that the objects are on a flat horizontal surface.  I used straight black (from the tube) in painting the photo and comic book.  My reason for that was to replicate the original look of the comic and photo.  I used a mixed black for the shadows, kaleidoscope and peace medallion.
