So around this time of year I've found myself painting "out of sorts" commissioned work in order to bring in a little extra holiday cash. Its usually a win win scenario-- somebody wants to purchase a unique gift for christmas and I need to pay my bills and eat.
In the past Ive painted portraits of houses, pets, children, friends, and spouses. A few have come out sort of interesting, but for the most part they end up looking like they should be hanging in a Wes Anderson film (especially the painting I did of a woman's dead Shitzu--who she asked me to ad lib a halo and wings on).
Anyway, this year I found myself painting a 10 foot rusty saw blade with an Oregon landscape, and I have to admit, I like it a little. Hopefully it pumps its future owner so full of Oregon pride that he throws in some extra dough when writing the check...hopefully.-- Love hate love hate love hate.
PS. the painting of the masked shirtless guys is
A. awesome
and
B. unfortunately not one of mine. It was painted by Miguel Calderon (actually commissioned by him from his own photos) and featured in the movie The Royal Tenenbaums. Its entitled attack.
