THE HUMAN GIANTS

(click to make them more gianter)

Just wanted to present the latest in my series of colored pencil family portraits. This is my humble tribute to Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel, and Aziz Ansari of Human Giant. For anyone unfamiliar, Human Giant was a hilarious comedy sketch show that aired on MTV for two seasons back in good old 2007 and '08 when the world was a simpler place. Once they got a taste of the trio, the entertainment industry seemed eager to pluck them from their home on MTV and put them all over screens both big and small.

This is my contribution to Is This Thing On, an art show at LA's Gallery 1988 that's dedicated to funny people awareness. The opening reception is Friday, January 7th, and I will be there to soak up the hilarity.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

It brought be great joy to see Nick Martinolich's perfect reaction as he receives a print of my McFlys family portrait for Christmas. I've never even considered the possibility of such a great response. I'll certainly keep it in mind the next time I'm toiling over another one of these wacky portraits.

It reminds me of a quote I recently read by the legendary street artist Banksy...
"I’ve learnt from experience that a painting isn’t finished when you put down your brush – that’s when it starts."
