TRUNKS ART was wondering around Malibu when inspiration struck, "Moonlit Pools" is the latest in my "Chill Out" Series!

I think it's virtually impossible to not be awed by a brilliant sunset. For me, they offer never- ending inspiration. Sometimes they seem quiet and gentle; other times they explode with the passion and promise of better tomorrows. And on even rarer occasions, a glowing moon joins the celebration - if only for a few minutes - to transform pink and orange pools into shimmery moonlit waves.

"Moonlit Pools" 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.

'Just Peachy' gets an 80's make-over!

I was recently asked to create a retro piece depicting an 80's activity - and what could be more 80's than roller skating? I (like totally) hope you fancy this make-over of "Just Peachy" - to the max of course! Here's the story behind this creation:

“I want my MTVVVVV….” Back in the eighties, teenage distractions consisted of things like Pac-Man, Rubik’s Cubes and of course – MTV. Fascinating stuff at the time but not addicting enough to have driven us into the abyss like we’re seeing with so many of today’s kids – but to be fair, we didn’t have Play Stations, Twitter pages or YouTube. We couldn’t even…gulp…text each other!

“Just Peachy” is about how all these distractions, though fun, can lead to an unpreparedness when it comes time to focus on achieving independence. With such a harsh wake-up call looming around the corner, will she be able to overcome the pull of the rabbit hole? Chances are she will. If we managed to get somewhere in life, so will she – even if MTV is now a podcast download.
