Cowboys & Aliens

I found a headless cowboy figure in the sand, brought him home and placed it on my shelf with some other plastic figures all battling and sharing time dimensions. Pan-American athletes throwing javelines at robots, cavemen swinging clubs at googley monsters, Merlin conjuring, Winston Churchill debating with Moses and The Invisible Plan thingys by Mars1 (some of my favorite plastic figures ever!) just hanging out and keeping the peace. One of these Mars guys, I was always disappointed with. It seemed it was missing a head to go in the cylindrical stump protruding above it's body. I kept thinking that a head of some sort will show up one day.

When that day was too slow in coming I made an alternate plan for my little headless Invisible Plan fella. I'll just turn him into a head for my cowboy friend. It was unbelievable how the uniform green color of the cowboy matched perfectly with the top part of the alien. I love it! Somebody told me there was a Cowboys and Aliens movie in the works. Hmmmm. 

     

MONA LISA ART MEAL

I've just hung up some new work at Mona Lisa Ristorante Italiano here in Winnipeg. When I arrived, I was surprised to find out that my fellow painter friend Luther Pokrant was also hanging work there, so I thought even though it's not 'really' an art show, I wanted to make a poster to mark this occasion. I have shown work on and off at Mona Lisa since 1985!

 

In this show you will see my first 4 oil paintings ever(!) that I completed just recently for this venue. There are also some new acrylic paintings as well as a few older works. This restaurant has some really wonderful food and great pizza! You can't really go to just look at the art so you might as well make a meal out of it.      

CCCOMIC CONVENTION

I will be attending and setting up a table this weekend at the Central Canada Comic Convention held at the Winnipeg Convention Center.

Also new are my Nakamojin Guys- little original sculpted fimo figurines in a spiffy crazy package!

Here is  a recent pencil crayon drawing for fun. A couple posts back there is a pencil crayon drawing that I did which was the first in a long long time. I have another spaceship sketched out that I hope to do soon. The original is 9 x 12 in.
