"Bunny Trike"  (1996)

Approx. size:  22 x 22 inches.  Acrylic on compressed board.

This piece was painted on pre-printed compressed board that was pulled from a remodeling/construction site by my friend Jon.  It's a 1960s Kay-Bee Toy Store Student Science Accesories point-of-purchase display backboard that ended up informing my color choices for the painting.  As I had been doing for months, I was once again depicting (and working to give an animated, humanized feel to) another one of the many vintage toys I had begun collecting.

"Push Start Car" (1996)

Acrylic on wheatpaste and board.  Size: 17 x 21 inches.

Painted during the peak of my wind-up vintage toy fixation.

Many times, the wheatpaste layer (that I would affix to board as a ground for painting) was cut down 

from large sections of layered advertising posters that were plastered on buildings and sidewalk sheds in NYC.
