New TRUNKS ART Release: "Beam Me Up" is the latest composition in my 'A Okay' Series!

I’m not exactly sure when it happened – when I went straight from thinking, “Are you kidding me?” to mouthing the words, “Beam Me Up!” I mean, I didn’t even get to experience the slightly less cynical “Take me with you!” stage. What’s that you ask? What am I even talking about? Oh, I’m sorry. You’re not familiar with the classic social evolution of sensitive artists (my bad). Fortunately, I have a nice summary for you:

Stage 1 – “Are you kidding me?!” – One becomes aware of surrounding morons.

Stage 2 – “Take me with you!” – One begins to cling to the less moronic.

Stage 3 – “Beam Me Up!” – One finally realizes that they are utterly alone on this planet.

Even though the mother ship hasn’t responded to my persistent calls for rescue (sigh), I’m ready when they’re ready but the best of what I’ve experienced will be neatly packed in my carry-on.

"Beam Me Up" is part of my "A Okay" 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.

TRUNKS ART: I love this frame job on "Perfect Match!"

Sometimes my customers are more creative than me - especially when it comes to clever framing. This particular customer has a nice collection of 4 of my pieces which brighten up a simple yet comfortable business office. About a month ago, she invited me over to see her newly framed, "Perfect Match" and I was blown away by how nicely she had it framed. Does the purple inner frame make this pop art piece pop even more or what? This 20x16 reproduction of "Perfect Match" was printed on bamboo paper so it's a lot less expensive than canvas reproductions - and in some cases - they can even look better!

TRUNKS ART: Putting the final touches on my latest piece, "80's Knight!"

Yes, even the embellishment work is a tedious exercise of patience, a rock steady hand and precision! I wish you could see this piece in person because when you see it hanging against a white wall...BOING!...instant pop-fest! Sure, the images of it on this blog and my website are good but nothing compares to the real thing. Anyway...I hope you like it and thanks for checking out my latest.

TRUNKS ART: "Just a sample of what's in my gallery!"

Ever look at your formal dining room furniture and think to yourself, "Why do I have this stuff?" I did. And after doing a little painting, do-it-yourself lighting and hammering...*poof*...instant mini art gallery! Seeing one of my pieces by itself is nice but when you see it along side other compositions...well...you start to understand what my intentions are and what it means to have some kind of signature style. So...if you're ever in the Camarillo area and want to see my work, just contact me through my website.

"Skull of Rock" continues to be a TRUNKS ART top seller!

I thought I'd share this nice 20"x30" canvas reproduction of my "Skull of Rock" composition. I'm happy to say that it's one of my top selling pieces!

New Work From TRUNKS ART: "80's Knight!"

For some reason, my mind has been mulling over the phrase, 'coming of age' for the last month or so. I think it's because I read those words on so many DVD jackets while doing some holiday browsing in my local video store. I like those kinds of movies. Besides the formulaic 'nerd boy wins affections of popular girl' or 'klutz scores improbable touchdown to win the game,' these movies always come with a soundtrack that magically romanticizes what many of us experienced as awkward, angst-filled times. Yet, the movie studios are only doing what we do to ourselves!

If you're like me, every time I hear a particular song from the 80's, my mind always pin points my exact location in time when that song was either streaming out of my boom box or my buddy's '64 VW bug or from some huge speakers in my favorite dive bar. "80's Knight" simply pays tribute to those bands that will forever be the soundtrack of my own 'coming of age' story.

TRUNKS ART: Not slowing down in 2010!!

All this stormy January weather in L.A. is only fueling my production! Currently I'm working on my new 'A Okay' series. In the picture, you can see a 20"x16" version of "Perfect Match" on my table. The bigger canvas piece is 32"x24" and it's one of my most popular. It's called, "Day Break" and it's from my 'Girls Only' series. New work is always around the corner!
