Speaking of comics...

Here is the finished painting from a couple of entries ago. It was actually done that very afternoon, just needed to photograph it for posting here. Poster paint muddies so quickly it is hard to maintain good, strong color. But treating a comic book character with paints associated with child hood is interesting aesthetically. Plus I could share the paint with my kids without worrying about cost, or stains!
