Skeletor Vs. Sock Monkey



Here is a piece I recently did for an up coming art show "It's not a Doll, it's an Action Figure!" at the Bear and the Bird Gallery in Lauderhill Florida. The show opens this Saturday the 19th with an opening reception party that night from 7pm - 10pm. This was a fun and outrageous piece to paint, it was nice to finally get to illustrate stuffed animal guts with pink yarn...it's been too long. The concept behind the piece was basically when an action figure reaches his breaking point, how would they handle their anger when it boils over into a fight with a doll.
