Lichtenstein definitely crossed my mind. I may do large one of these for a show coming up in Cary. I think you can get Okawara paper in sheets up to 3' X 6' - that would be big enough for me.

Reminds me a little of the Lichtenstein fighter plane painting(s), just focused on the explosion part. It makes for a really nice image that is more poignant than one might initially think, which is good- it makes one ponder. Besides that, it just flat out looks good. What's the max size possibility? killer stuff, Dan. Reminds me a little of the Lichtenstein fighter plane painting(s), just focused on the explosion part.

Getting some feedback on these new explosions has been really helpful. Thanks a lot for the comments everyone. Getting some feedback on these new explosions has been really helpful.

You can feel it go in all directions. I love the energy, especially of the larger one. You can feel it go in all directions.

They immediately caught my eye because 20 years ago I was painting something similar - sort of. Something with the same energy. You can sneak a peek at my website (barebonesart.com) if you look under paintings. Keep exploring! It is food for the soul - guaranteed ;-) I love them.

I like what you did with them--and the process with which you did them. That first one has a nice pop art look to it, I could imagine Rosenquist doing something like that. Have you thought of adding color? Then I looked at your other military/police stuff and liked those prints too. I've been doing a lot of war/peace/political stuff in the past year or so. Are you aware of the Art of Democracy shows from last fall? There is a web site archive at www.artofdemocracy.org. That engendered a networking site for political artists at http://artofdemocracy.ning.com/, which you might find interesting. Will you be at SGC? I'll have some work in a group show at the Heartland Cafe in Rogers Park--information is on the art of democracy networking site. Explosions!

I like 'em. Looks like you're having fun with the process. Isn't it strange when you get excited about something and nobody else seems interested? I had that same blasé-to-negative response when I started working with Pilgrims. But you've gotta go where the muse takes you. Good for you for sticking with the explosions. I look forward to seeing many more. (Or not!) Pow! I like ‘em. Looks like you’re having fun with the process. Isn’t it strange when you get excited about something and nobody else seems interested?
