New 'Pattern Art' from Chuck Trunks' Precision Abstracts: SKULL BOMBS (plus an extra version of it)!

Camarillo, CA — July 27, 2011 — With the demand for more 'pattern' art rising, I decided to try my hand at creating new images around this particular style of commercial art. So without further ado, I'd like to introduce a couple of renditions of my latest piece, "Skull Bombs." I think my favorite is the white version. Anyway, I hope you like what I did. Be ready to see more work like this from me. As always, thanks for keeping up with my progress. I'd love to hear from you!

"Thinking Dreams" is the FINAL component to the 'Chill Out' Series by TRUNKS ART Precision Abstracts!

Camarillo, CA — July 13, 2011 — The great thing about kids is their natural tendency to do…well…what comes naturally. From handstands in the grass of seaside parks to playing in knee-high surf, children have that blissful myopia to focus only on the present while still dreaming of life beyond the beaches of Ventura. In “Thinking Dreams,” love, beauty and art make up the hopes and dreams of the little girl who can’t see beyond the Channel Islands – yet her ideas are both present and limitless.

"Thinking Dreams" is part of my "Chill Out" Series. It's available in various sizes on paper or canvas as limited edition prints (75). Licensing of this image is available as well. To see more of my work, please visit my website at www.chucktrunks.com.
