MotU is here!

March 29th, 2007

Well, by all accounts Kim and I should be in Toronto right now at the opening event for the Masters of the Universe art exhibit and Auction (see Magic Pony website for more details). You can see both my pieces here, but if you’re in the neighborhood, why not drop by? We’ll be here until 10pm. If tonight’s not good for you the show’s here until Saturday so you’ve got ample time to check it out.

He-Man & Teela

Here are “He-Man & Teela” and “Les Cycles d’Eternia” respectively. The former was a simple attempt to capture a couple key characters in a different style; nothing really out of the ordinary. The latter piece is a different story; I wanted to take a different approach to the MotU theme, and had just settled on Orko as my subject matter. In researching different styles on the internet, I came across some old French cycling posters.

Les Cycles d’Eternia

I really liked the look of those posters, and decided having Orko ride a bike would be fun to paint (considering… he has no legs!). I’ll be running around the gallery with my camera, so you can expect a post-show blogging at some point next week…

    I missed the auction but caught the show before it was gone. Les Cycles d’Eternia was my favourite piece. Any plans to make prints?

    I went and checked out the MOTU show. Orko on the bike was my favorite piece. Hope you do make prints of it. I would love to get my hands on one!
