Artist's Comments

This piece is done on sheets of mylar overlayed on top of one another...here's a pic of what it looks like while lit from behind. There are several layers of thick gold leaf, oil and acrylics underneath the outer layers that you can only see if there is a strong enough light behind the painting. Earlier photos of the painting are available in my gallery...you can see how the piece evolved quite a bit. It was just exhibited in a show for "union-friendly" artists in Ottawa, Canada. Damn commies... *wink

Can you spot the AK?

hey, nice work. Reminds me of all that footage of american troops torming into the iraqi peoples' houses and fucking shit up looking for nothing, then paying them off for their troubles.

painting AKs sucks.

(what the hell is mylar anyway, you've mentioned it a few times in your work...)

Solid work. I finally, after months and months get to look
at something very impressive. Congrats on the show in Ottawa.
If you're in TO at any point - I'd love to get a beer.
I've got a show opening in Oct. with two other painters.
