Road Dog

Still chipping away at the pandemic series. I've had this idea for a minute and I think after we all received that $1200 stimulus check last spring, right in the worst of it in NYC, I think this image clicked for me and I was able to really flesh it out. Because, it sort of felt like Death himself was offering a pittance of comfort as we barreled into one of the bleakest moments in recent human history. Also, I'm just not a huge fan of excessive condiments.

                                            

Dirty Dogs and Inflatable Tube Men

I'm posting these here together because I feel like these two, along with the alarm clock piece I posted earlier, are all companion pieces. Yes, I gave all the main characters in the pieces these goofy cartoon faces but I think the mix between Saturday morning cartoon innocence and real life absurdity is the driving point. Along with these, that's probably the best way to sum up most of my work currently hanging in "Character and Narrative" at the Foothills Art Center. The show runs for a few more weeks and then is OVER! FOREVER! Get it while you can. Process pics below.
