Clown Prince of Fun
Humpty Dumpty is the new "Clown Prince of Fun." I found this retro toy in a flea market recently. I thought the 1940s suited cartoon guy fit in well. The background sky almost suggests a Surrealistic piece.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot
The recent early winter snows have me thinking comic books and snowy weather.
Painting the back shadow behind the 3D figure was the most challenging in this new edition to my "3D meets 2D series".

Candy and Rawhide
This is one of my larger comic book inspired paintings. The comic depicted is almost a half century old. It's from my private collection which I've owned since childhood. This is one of my first trompe L'oeils with the objects in an angled positioned.

Recurring Dream # 9
In this piece I wanted to combine some elements of Surrealism and Trompe l'oeil with a touch of Abstract Expressionism. I used a printing block and acrylic paint to produce the black line patterns on the lower two-thirds of the painting. The top landscape was painted using freehand airbrush. An airbrush and frisk film was used in the painting process of the figures and photos.

Keep Out
The background in this painting is an antique children's tray. I purchased it recently at an area flea market.
The tray is similar to another tray used in a previous painting. This trompe-loeil is another in the "3-D meets 2-D" series.

Yesterday Once More
Nostalgia isn't always an easy hand to play when producing artwork. It seems so easy to go too far and produce work that turns into nothing more than a cheap greeting card. For me creativity is an important component when doing paintings of this kind. Producing artwork of this nature is also a therapeutic process. It takes me back to those pleasant childhood memories.

I Flew in a Flying Saucer
This is another trompe-loeil in the "3D meets 2D" series. My fondness for 1950's Science Fiction is once again evident.

Lois & M&M's
This is another in the trompe-loeil painting series. Once again I like the contrast between the three dimensional candy and the flat two dimensional comic.
