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.
