Pulse Jet Pirate
2018
Medium: Acrylic, Sand, and Metal on Canvas; Video
Painting size: 24x18

I like to use my skills as a portrait painter to create acrylic or oil paintings that include natural or abstract portraits. In this painting I used a pulse jet, a kind of jet engine for radio controlled airplanes, to alter a painting. I heard that "painting is dead," and this is my response.
