I finished this piece in 2007. I showed it at Hallwalls Art Museum members show and at the Cosmopolitan Gallery holiday show in Buffalo, N.Y. Like much of my work, this one fits into the "obnoxious cartoon" end of the spectrum. What makes the piece unique is the high contrast figure/ground shift that I achieved by using tried and true painting techniques of blending and color mixing. I applied this illusionistic method to the insectoid alien creature. I left the backround completely raw and abstract for a dramatic "push pull" punchy effect.
