12x16inches, acrylic on canvas$220.00 framed, $200. unframed

but only until Christmas!

Here's the last Goon of the day, wanted to use the Pink Floyd Hammer logo for this but I don't like how the hammer heads are both pointed in the same direction, so I flipped em face out.

p.s feel free to contact me if you'd like to commission a Goon, any team, any instrument I can handle it, (though I'd prefer Devils and Bruins fans to contact me first).

I have no idea why the stupid alignment control on blogger chooses to work some days and not others. Anyways it was only a matter of time before a beautiful Golden Gretsch showed up at Goon Pond, such a beautiful design it's like sculpture.

Musical Mountie (Goon III)

12x16inches, acrylic on canvas,
$220.00 framed, $200.00 unframed
but only until Christmas!
I'd been wanting to do this for awhile, don't ask me why, but "Sexy Mountie" and "Musical Mounties" kept recurring in my sketch notes. There may be a couple more traditional pin-up style Mounties there may not, just depends on my mood and interest. I do like the loose and caricature based look of the Goons, feels right for the pieces though it may seem a little different from my usual more sombre realist style. I am starting to enjoy the 12x16 size more, I originally found it awkward as I do usually prefer a square canvas, but I figure by doing a run of pieces in this size I'll end up with a nice grouping if I'm asked to show them anywhere. I may even do a run on some of my favourite superheroes/villains in this style on this size of canvas. Still taking Christmas commissions I figure I can comfortably take orders until the 18th of December or so.
To see my work in Toronto head to Cowbell Bistro (scroll down to see what's there) and my dedicated wall at the Press Club (850 Dundas West) which will change this Monday, so expect a new photo of what is there by Tuesday am.

MUSICAL GOON Number Two

Musical Goon II

but only until Christmas!

I may do a tweak or two on the fella just yet, he looks fine in the painting, but in the photograph, something looks off, it's the shading on his left leg. It's interesting having the "Stats" system on the blogsite, it tells you what people are googling that brings them to your blog. I'm surprised at the amount of traffic that comes here looking for me by  name, but then does not contact me. If you have questions about my work, commissions etc. please do not hesitate to contact me at the address below.

Going to see "Red" this weekend and I do like a nice Rothko now and again, I am more of a Franz Kline guy, that's what I'd buy with my first million.

Expect a few of these to show up over the next few days, awhile back I'd painted some Hockey Goons ,just click the label "50" at the the top of the labels section on the right.I wasn't getting anywhere with the last sketches for a series I had planned so I decided to switch gears and just enjoy myself. I love hockey, I love music - done.

hope you enjoy,
