Blast Off!

Here are a couple of big paintings I made for my friend Owen who was just born a little while ago.
They are inspired by Owen's rocket-styled crib and bedclothes:Originally I was gonna do a big ol' mural in Owen's room, but Meghan wouldn't let me paint a cat on her house. She was cool with the monkey. Here was the mock-up.
So I just ending up doing these instead. The kitty ended up not making the cut anyway, and I replaced it with constellations of a bunch of stuff Owen is sure to hate when he grows up. He'll probably be into the oboe, lacrosse, microfiche and street-luge. And cats. Acrylic on canvas, 24" x 36". Happy Birth & Merry Christmas, Owen!
(NOTE: Owen is not scared of Santa, he's just pooping.)

so THAT'S what you did with the illustrator stuff you showed us earlier this semester! Very cool. That last picture with Santa made me laugh/snort.
