Like I said the other day, I can’t really post too much of what I’m doing right now. This is a taste of something for Meth & Hot Dogs 2. If you want to see the completed piece you’ll just have to come to Lift on April 30th… or wait until May when I can post it online.
Here is the final version of the commission I was working on last week (click the picture for a larger version). They absolutely loved it. I love it when that happens. I ordered the banner for them yesterday, so I should receive it sometime next week. It will be the largest incarnation of any of my artwork to date.
Oh, and the irony of a piece I made for a group of cops going into a show called Meth & Hot Dogs was not lost on anyone.
Meth & Hot Dogs 2: A Collection of even MORE Unscrupulous Characters - CALL FOR ART

The Show – Meth & Hot Dogs 2 is a group show celebrating original character art by emerging and established artists.

I took part in the first Meth & Hot Dogs, so you bet your sweet bunny butts I’ll be participating in part II. Want to join in the fun?
Suckle on this teaser! M&HD2: Detroit Foot Long Edition
What in the what? A new M&HD show?! IN Detroit?!
Man, I sure hope Kill Taupe is ready for some ridiculous Puff Bun paintings from me because wild horses could not stop me from being in this show. Unless the wild horses are on meth… then maybe. Those fuckers get desperate.
Wanna Buy A Carrot? :: 2009
I painted this last year for the Meth & Hot Dogs show in St. Louis, but I didn’t get it back in time to put it in my solo show, Bunderland. You’ll get a chance to see it in person at my new solo show, A Bun A Day at Five15 from August 13th to September 10th.
