After my recent show I received an email about a new commission piece. It mentioned something about a fascination with Kim Jong Il. When I read that tidbit of information I was taken aback. To what degree of fascination I’m not sure but nevertheless my intrigue was captured and my hands trembled with anticipation.
The sketches were simple and straightforward and I moved right into the painting.
What came of it is shown below.

So the Graveyard Tavern opening night was a hit! No it wasn’t a firesale or anything of the sort, but by all means it was a success. We began setting up around 7 and were ready to go by 9- more or less. The support from friends was overwhelming but unfortunately there is no photographic evidence.
The work will be up through the rest of the month so be sure to check it out. Buuut if you can’t make it then pay attention to the blog in the coming weeks to see the works that debut the work of Sunflowerman on the Atlanta art scene.
Mr Miyagi (already sold =] ) was the headliner of the show. If you haven’t made it out then here is a taste of what you missed.

I’m back at it again. Here’s a little twist… Instead of a person on an animal I put a robot on a dinosaur. Big deal.

So, as I do on occasion, I came to the call of my amazing bosses (for a fee of course). Some designing needed to be done and as the resident artist I was obviously the man for the job. Recently the restaurant had acquired a nice chalkboard that Terry (affectionately T-Wayne) decided would be good for some advertisements of alcohol.
I picked up some very nice chalk-paint at Sam Flax and went to work. The images below describe what followed…
Below is a taste of a project I am working on dealing with resurrection. It’s about life and death, sacrifice and selfishness.
These little guys are 5×7 acrylic illustrations. Each is a small grisaille- initially painted in gray scale then covered in colored glazes. They are part of a myriad of similar sized and themed paintings that will be hanged together to tell a story.
