Who are you Green Monster?

Here are some fun monster stickers that were wrapped around some candy. I think it was a block of taffy on a stick. The outer packages were hard to open without them ripping to shreds and the stickers inside mostly stuck to the candy. I don't remember the name of the candy nor could I find anything out about them except that the company Dos en Uno is a Chilean candy manufacturer owned by the Argentinian food producer Arcor.

Alter Ego Godzilla

Alter Ego Godzilla - 2012 - acrylic on illustration board - 15 x 20 inches

Leading up to my Godzilla weekend, during, and after it, I was working on this painting. There is definitely something different about it. All in it's colors and design and it's play. I'm a play-full guy, but not so much in my paintings. And I think I can contribute this to the spirit and energy held during G-Fest, the G-Fan magazine coordinated annual Godzilla convention held just outside Chicago. I had wished I was there, but since I could not go, I was there in spirit while I painted Godzilla. And I believe that I was channelling the fans at the convention. So this painting in a way, is more of a conglomerate of Godzilla fun. I'm in there too somewhere.

Here is a super fun cartoon that I wanted to share by the master cartoonist Gary Larson.
