r: Here are photos of my two latest paintings and #s 2 and 3 in my "Boom Boom Revolution" series. These are a little different from the first installment as they are larger, on canvasboard instead of canvas (I think I like canvas more), and the cat is silkscreened on to the prepared back ground. They were a bit of a pain in the arse as I had to correct the screen twice before I got these images to print right (hey kids, this is what test prints are for so remember to do them or else you may become cranky cats). The blue one's lettering is a combination of sharpie and paint and I'm thinking I may do most future lettering with the sharpie or graffiti marker because I liked the control and the not having to cut stuff out. The white slogan is clearly from 1984, the blue is based on a WW2 british propaganda poster. Yes, that's a little subversion on Boom Boom's part since he just displaced the crown, consider this our response to Robert Donat's "colonial accent" in the 39 Steps Britain!
