i'm working on a series this summer, inspired by 1970's decoupage art.
here's what i'm talking about:

but there will be somewhat of a painterly twist.
some of the paintings will be planned out and according to some vision i've had but many will be done in a similar vain to sketching in a sketchbook (for these the idea is for the subconscious mind to dictate the direction of the painting)
here's one of the first 'sketches' i have done. its not finished but close. i will just have to add several coats of poly urethane to give it that distinct aged look. i had a lot of fun with this and it's a mess for sure but i'm intrigued by a new direction, so i'll be running with it. stay tuned, there are many more to come.
