Do you remember the classic comic strip ‘Tumbleweeds’? I do. I grew up reading it. Now, I’m doing a bunch of arty-type things to hang on the walls- all to do with Comic Strips. I have an impressionist painting of Barney Google, a Popeye and Olive Oyl diptych, and now a woodburned portrait of Tumbleweeds framed in manila rope. A ‘Pogo’ illustration and a really strange pop-art ‘Yellow Kid’ painting are sold and gone. The idea is to put together a whole show of these comics-as-art things. It’s very fun. Next, I’m doing a charcoal and ocre-dust cave painting of Alley Oop on stretched rawhide. Yyyyyeeeeah.
