YOU COULD WIN!

After doing a survey over Facebook and Twitter I decided to hold a contest where my fans could win an original artwork. Truth be told I had a canvas board I was dying to cover up and create something incredible with. So when there was an interest for original work I jumped at the opportunity. If you'd like to win "Blue Pop Marilyn" (18"x24") please take part in my Facebook contest HERE.

The pop art movement has always been one of my favourite era's to study and continues to inspire me. This series was created using acrylic paint in a bright colour and contrasting black giving it a "pop" style. To further the concept of "pop" art I chose to depict the popular vintage beauties Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page, and Audrey Hepburn. I felt the blue background mirrored Marilyn's sultry beauty, the red background corresponds with Bettie's wild and sexy character, while the yellow background emphasizes Audrey's sweet and soft nature. I hope these artworks exude beauty and fun.
