Rainbow Unicorn Pegasus Xenomorph
"They Only Come Out At Night, Mostly...Mostly"
36"x24" - acrylic and oil paint pens on stretched canvas
36"x24" - acrylic and oil paint pens on stretched canvas
painted live at Cosmic Flux Festival (in Arkansas) and Tap Iñ 2 (in Austin, Texas)
(...plus copious studio time over April & May 2018)
For anyone who loves HR Giger or Lisa Frank, or both, or unicorns and rainbows and pegasuses and chestbursters and biomechanical horror. Transgressive, suggestive, and downright queer (in the original sense: weird, strange, abnormal). Not intersectional, though – unless by that you mean the intersection of alien parasites and cuddly mammals (of which I will always approve, in fiction).
The title is a pun. Guess I'm just in a "let your freak flag fly" mood...in addition to being WAY into skirting that edge between light and darkness, the sacred and profane, the happy and the horrible. :)
What do you think of this painting? Thanks for looking!
