aaaall good

The creature ordered something with an umbrella in it at the end of the world.

This is an Interrupted Unit ( 12 ) — a mounted print base with original mixed media painted directly on top. For the nerds: there is a photo transfer process I'm working on as well for textures and type.

The result is something between a painting and a collage, flat and dimensional at once. Once it's gone, it's gone. We hardly know each other, but I do think this will look good on your wall.

The subject is the Creature from the Black Lagoon, rendered in thick gestural strokes, round blue-tinted shades, cocktail in hand, mushroom cloud blooming in orange and red behind him like a very chill apocalypse. It reads simultaneously as absurdist humor and genuine menace — which is kind of the whole point.

Materials: mixed media on mounted board (archival paper, acrylic, paint marker, and printed substrate)

Approx. size: roughly 8×8 inches — confirm exact dimensions with seller

Finish: Mounted on board, ready to hang.

Signed on the front. Part of an ongoing series of Interrupted Units — original works that don't fit neatly into 'painting' or 'print' because they're neither and both.
