This work is more pop than what I normally paint, however it's still in line with what I do. It is actually a little more of a study than a finished work. The inspiration for this came from a book about matchbook covers. I've always had a liking for pop art but never felt close enough to 'cool' things to really be in the scene. But the image quality is something Ive been wanting to incorporate more and more and so have been making a study of graphic design color and then adding painterly relationships instead of direct graphic color. It's also somewhat related to my stint doing graffiti work.
