Carnage on the Strip
February 26, 2025 - Here' a fun private commission I recently finished for a client. I was asked to show Carnage and Deadpool fighting on the Las Vegas Strip, with sports cars and glitz. The whole idea seemed aptly over-the-top for Deadpool, so I tried to treat the composition the same way, and pack as much narrative as I could in there. Maybe even break the 'fourth wall'. The background looking like a comic book page is meant as a visual pun, as they are literally, on 'the strip'. The similar color scheme for the two characters was a fun challenge to play with. Making micro-compositions of just different shades of red is a solid day, imo. The final painting is all traditional, a mixture of acrylic and oils, 18x24"
