She Packed My Bags Last Night, Pre-Flight...
Retro Rocket 1(8x10,oils SOLD*)
"Zero Hour, 9am...and I think I'm gonna be high as a kite by then.." Rocket Man-I love that song. And I love old, pulpy covers with pointed rockets on them! A quick painting, and I wound up using something I'd painted before, a space pen, to get the reflections right. I did this as a series of little paintings I am doing for RoqlaRue Gallery in Seattle, that I am part of a show there. I'll have a larger piece in the show, but as a sales incentive, these smaller ones will bolster that. UPDATE!!! I recieved a BUNCH of requests for this image or something like it. Not to worry. I LOVE painting these, so I plan to do quite a few in the future!!! So keep checking in and hang in there! Thanks!

WANT IT! Oh A NFS! CURSES!
THE BLUES WORK WONDERFULLY!
Thanks so much!! Don't panic! I plan on doing a bunch of these because, frankly, I LOVE doing them.This is what got me into SF in the first place, and it isn't easily given up on!
Oh, now I'm excited. I love this. "Swirly" stuff in the background, alien stuff in the foreground, LOVELY colors and that GREAT 50s rocket. Man oh man, this is the greatest yet. Zillabob--YOU DA MAN.
p.s. More, more, more.
Love the retro rocket series.
This blog has become my favorite. Its great seeing the way you explore variations on a theme---whether its rockets or castles or anything else. Wouldn't mind seeing an occasional dragon though.....
David-thanks! Dragons..are coming. More of that towards summer...
Gorgeous! I was seriously considering trying to grab that one... oh well.
