New work - Fairground food signs on paper

Snow Cones, 18.75 x 26.25”, enamel and acrylic paint on Rives printmaking paper.

The fairground food signs continue! This particular piece was a bit tricky because of the color transition. Most snow cones are two to three colors but for this I decided to go with the whole spectrum. The outline was a big help because I could hide the paint runoff. It gave me some space..
Yellow and purple are so transparent it took awhile to build up the colors but in the end their misgivings helped add to the rawness of the work. Plus, I don’t see the point in making things too clean. I guess that is a reaction to when I used to work for Takashi Murakami.

New work - Fairground food signs on paper

Onion Rings, 18.75 x 26.25”, enamel and acrylic paint on Rives printing paper.

The carnival food signs continue! It is always a balancing act as to whether or not I want to add a graphic to the text. Obviously for this one it didn’t seem necessary but…
The colors I went with reminded me of a Melvins shirt I used to wear in the 90’s. I got it for free when their label was promoting their album in Gainesville, FL… useless knowledge for sure but I thought I would put it out there anyway. Ha!
