TRUNKS ART Prints - Now on Bamboo Paper!

One of the drawbacks to printing reproductions on paper (as opposed to canvas) is that you can lose some of the color brightness - and my work screams for its' POP! Although canvas is always the best way to go (because it allows me to add highlights and texture), it's a good idea to offer a 'paper option.' So, I now offer my work on canvas AND paper - bamboo paper, that is.


Here's a shot of a recent print of "Round 2" on mounted bamboo paper. Notice that this type of paper doesn't diminish the bright colors at all. Sweet! In the foreground you'll see that all of my artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity (CoA) along with the associated abstract.


Another good thing about printing art on bamboo paper is that you can mount it, frame it and put that baby under glass. Looks awesome! In this shot, you see another mounted print of "Round 2" on bamboo paper. This time, it's been nicely framed by my official framer: Museum Quality Framing in Camarillo.

Embellishing "Round 2" - the last piece in my Hopes and Dreams Series!

Here's a quick picture of me embellishing my latest piece, "Round 2." Of course I'm thinking about the economic mess that's effecting everybody (including artists) but my prevailing thought is, "the art must go on!" "Round 2" is a tribute to the strength and beauty of women and is being offered as a limited edition print series of 75.

New Trunks Art Release: "Round 2" Completes the Hopes and Dreams Series!

"Round 2" mixed media (ink and acrylic) on canvas. 24x32 canvas and paper prints are available. Limited edition size is set at 75.

Here's a little insight into what I was thinking when I was creating "Round 2"...

As I watch the historic U.S. presidential elections unfold and reflect on the recent summer Olympic games in Beijing, I think it’s fair to say that 2008 has proven that ‘girlie toughness’ isn’t just an endearing term from an Oscar award winning movie – it’s a real quality in many of the women that we’ve grown to appreciate and admire.

Not only did I create this composition to pay tribute to the smart, hard working and beautiful women that surround many of us, my ultimate hope is that the casual observer will pick up on the oh-so-subtle details and experience a momentary flicker of underestimation right before recalling the title of this piece. Ding! Ding! Too late…Round 2 just started.
