My Heroes

So, I recently took up painting ACEOs, which are also known as Artist Trading Cards. ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions, and Originals". These cards are 2.5" x 3.5", just like a normal trading card- cute! I decided that since I would be painting in a trading card format, I would paint some of my heroes; like the comic book cards I used to collect. I numbered each card at the bottom in the order that I drew them, rather than order of importance. So, without further ado, here's one of my favorites-

Future Self-Portrait

I've been working on a twelve painting story that is taking me forever, so I've been getting antsy to post something in the meantime. This paining is a portrait of my future self- a future self-portrait. Notice that I am dressed in clothes that I wish I could justify wearing now. There are certain things I think you have to earn your way into wearing, like a fedora (which you can only wear if you're an old man or Frank Sinatra), or cowboy boots (which you can only wear if you're an old man or a real cowboy). Also notice that I will be carrying a pistol to scare youngsters and shoot raccoons.
