I'm not even sure that is all of them but it's pretty neat to see them all together like that.

Why did you paint on mylar?

Unknown said...

Tristan - it's not an uncommon painting surface. It's completely archival and is surprisingly nice to paint on. William Whitaker and Sophie Joidon are some of many artists who use mylar frequently.

The mylar piece is just mind-numbingly gorgeous. The way the cross texture of the under painting is preserved beneath the fields of color for the figure - wow! Don't know how much more you plan to do to it, but try to keep the balance that you achieved. The warm up pencil drawings are also great to see.

I always learn something from your sketches. I also wouldn't want to run into that creature of yours. He creeps me out (in a good way).
