It Wasn’t No Laughing Matter…. It Was A Warning

Acrylic on canvas.

24x30x1"

I call this creation
“It wasn’t no laughing matter……it was a warning.”

Creating this painting, with the reference at hand.
When I first saw the image, I immediately thought
“f**k yeah.” Everything about what I was seeing, kept me in awe. The jacket, her lips, the smile, her necklaces, the way I knew how I was gonna paint her hair. And then I saw the knife. Perfect, what a incredible message, a memorable image, the smile and the knife.
“It wasn’t no laughing matter….it was a warning.”
