TRUNKS ART has had many "Race Days" of his own...

San Francisco's "Bay to Breakers" - May 1996

Like I've been saying all along in regards to my latest piece, "Race Day"...I spent the better part of the 90's running races all over the U.S. When I came across this photo, I thought it was a perfect reflection of "Race Day!" In this particular race, there were 80,000+ runners - seriously! And I remember that I was near the finish line when this photo was taken - and I'm still in a crowd!!

TRUNKS ART: Embellishing "Race Day!" Hard work - but always worth it!

Embellishing a canvas print is more involved than you'd think. Adding color highlights is fun ('cause like I'm making it POP even more) but the whole texturing process can be challenging. In the end, it's always worth it because it adds even more color depth and gives it that "just finished look" - forever! How cool is that?

"Race Day" (32x24) is part of my A La Art Series. It's available on paper or canvas as limited edition prints (75). Licensing of this image is available as well.

New TRUNKS ART Release: On Your Marks..."Race Day!"

"Race Day" is definitely a slight departure from my usual works. Actually, this fun and lighthearted piece was created in response to requests I've received from various running and fitness organizations here in Ventura County...so...with that said, don't be shocked to see this image on a whole bunch of T-shirts in the near future!

Here's more of the meaning behind this piece:
If you knew me (even slightly) in the 90's, chances were I was just a blur running by. I ran so much that whole life phases came second to weekly mileage, interval training and weekend races. But spending all that time on the roads and trails wasn't always so uneventful. I ran the first few miles of the L.A. Marathon with actor Dennis Quaid, bumped into Olympian Bruce Jenner on the Los Robles Trail and was mistakenly hugged by actress Jamie Lee Curtis in Malibu! I even ran right up to and met former President Ronald Reagan in Santa Monica and did the same thing to former Vice President Dick Cheney in Austin – apparently, I'm not very dangerous looking as I was able to zip right through the Secret Service guys without making one of them put a nervous finger on their ear piece…really?!

Meeting celebs and VIPs was pretty cool, but the real characters were the people I trained and raced with – a bunch of good guys and gals who went from mere training partners to dear friends. “Race Day” doesn't even come close to capturing the cherished hilarity of all these fine folks but the message is clear – getting to know these people was the best part of running – or this image would've been a picture of me hugging Jamie Lee Curtis!

TRUNKS ART: Adding Color to Earlier Works to Accommodate Collectors!

As I was developing my signature art style, a lot of my earlier images were black and white. Today, I'm finding that some collectors are interested in these earlier works - but they want me to add color to them. In this photo, I'm adding color to "Straight A's" - per the specifications of the collector. It's a 24x32 canvas piece that's out of my "True Love Series."

TRUNKS ART selected for CD album cover!

"Numb Again" is the latest effort from native Californian sAs (aka Steve Sciallo). This evocative and sanguine collection of gently downtempo electronic songs, warm, sweet tempered beats and ambient textures echo sAs’ eclectic approach to musical composition. These instrumental pieces are haunting and spartan. It's the sound of the world that lies beneath mind, perpetually shifting and pulsing with somatic activity.

To hear samples of sAs's music from the critically acclaimed "Numb Again" CD or from his wildly successful debut CD, "Future Memory," please visit his website at www.wildoatsineden.com.
