Retro. Modern. Minimal. And A Dog!

I’ve been working on some new simple designs.

Retro.

Modern.

Minimal.

And a dog.

Archie.

The new paintings are uncomplicated.

Animated.

Abstract.

Fun colors.

They are structured in the way little kids understand.

Adults too, if you don’t think too hard.

And a dog.

Archie.

Thick paint.

Nature.

Gunpowder.

Fuse.

Humour.

And a dog.

Archie.

This will be the direction I am heading for the rest of this year.

Meet Little Archie.

Boom!
