So, I completed "Hunka." I'm horrible at naming things, so "Hunka" is obviously its tentative title. I'm only referring to it as that because so far everyone who's seen it has referred to it as such, so "Hunka" it is, for now. For those of you not in the know, I'm talking about the old-school arcade painting I did, which is, for the record, the first painting I've ever completed, like, completely.
Anyone who's ever seen me prep a surface for painting can tell you that I'm rather persnickety about it. There is a definite method to the way I lay down paper as there is to my collecting the materials I collage into each piece. So, I've been asked, why the Hughesian dedication to collaging when all I do is paint and draw completely over it?
Truth is, I know exactly what lies under all the matte medium and Mod Podge and paint and varnish in each of my paintings. I could itemize every scrap. It's a secret to everyone but me, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.
It's because I'm cruel, and unusual, ya know?
