this is my first time to blog and because it is my first time to blog i am sharing with you the first oil painting i ever sold. it is called "rembranksy" and i did it as a tribute to a painter i like very much called banksy. seeing his work made me know it is okay to joke in a work of art. before this one i did a painting called "our national hero" and seeing paintings by banksy afterwards made me sure it had been alright to do such a painting as "our national hero" so this one is in honor of him.
it is oil on canvas.
GREAT PAINTING!!
ReplyDeleteI usually do not like moshups or spoofs of classics but this one got me someway.
I hope you post "Our National HerO". I am curious to see what that is all about.
So the writing is on the wall and... it's a smiley face. Genius.
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of Banksy (a Bansky Boy?) and I think this is quite the excellent painting. I think that Banksy himself would approve.
ReplyDeleteWas there a reason you picked the smiley face. Is that supposed to be a commentary on the God-like power of pop culture and how anyone who "defaces the goblet of consumerism" will be destroyed. If so, I think it's better than Bansky.
ReplyDeleteImpressive workmanship. I hope to see more soon.
