Painting 222: Transformers and Blacksmithing. A lot of fun warm color work and play with those cartoony action shapes. It was also a good challenge to make it all glow.

Painting 226 is just a straight up brightly colored beach party! It was the Tune Squad (from Space Jam) and Beaches. Nothing better than a sunset beach bonfire! .

Painting 217: This one was a portrait of my cousin Steve and the Blue Ridge Mountains in Central Virginia. I do portraits sometimes! They just are a bit of a different price structure.

Painting 215 is one of my favorites and it's completely unlike any other painting I've gotten to do. I'm hoping another order is this weird and I get to revisit some of these ideas. It was Road Signs and Texting Language with a heavy Roy Lichtenstein influence.

Painting 219: A three thangs painting featuring Red Dead Redemption 2 (Sadie specifically) / Narnia / Alice in Wonderland. Such a fun painting to work on.

He sang me the song and I pulled from the lyrics this painting of an assortment of childlike animals and characters to make this painting for his daughter. Really fun project to work on.
3/3

Painting 213 really became more of a loaded image years after it was completed. It's RBG and Fauci just two kids from Brooklyn.

Number 214 is Cookie Monster / Vinyl Records. These next 7 are a bit out of order because they were weird and I put them into the list late.

Painting 218 is the Seattle band "the Witness" and courtrooms. I did this in return for them playing the very first Two Thangs anniversary party in 2016! My rule of thumb has always been that to qualify as "popular culture" you just have to be more famous than me. It's not hard.

Painting 209 featuring deep cuts from two of the biggest franchises of all time: Star Wars and Pokemon.

Painting 211: Marshawn Lynch / Pride and Prejudice. I really enjoy painting these pairs of things that have absolutely never been painted together before. Mr Darcy would suck at tackling.

Painting 210: MF DOOM / Magic the Gathering. I'm always so pleased when a true MTG fan recognizes emrakul the promised end but with blunts.

Painting 212: People ask what is the weirdest Two Thangs painting. This one is probably the one that weirds other people out the most. It's Lil Nas X / Q Anon Shaman.

Painting 208 is about as heartwarming as it gets. Ted Lasso / Mr. Rogers hanging at the pub and playing some darts as the trolley rolls by.

Painting 203: The second time the Bettie Page / Divine mural was defaced, we decided to respond with this mural of Britney Spears / Laura Palmer. It's scary to be a woman.

Painting 207: This one gets a lot of love at the cons. It's Gilmore Girls and the Office. I watched 3 seasons of GG to make this! I got Luke's Diner down though.

If you are following along, I'm posting all the Two Thangs paintings I've made over the last 10 years in order. This one is number 201 and it's Alex Trebek and Fernet Branca with a very seductive bent.

Painting 198: This Alf / RAD painting lives in Hubba Hubba Tiki Tonk in East Nashville and the story of this one was hard to save for my second book but it's a great one!

Painting 202. Some paintings I have to research and this one of the Trung Sisters and Afro Futurism was one of those but it was a pleasure to learn about some Vienamese history and then try to adapt it into the style. What a fun painting!

Painting 204: I was able to do these two murals on one trip out to Seattle to fix the Bettie Page / Divine mural. This is Jesus of Greenlake aka Jesus / Looking for Parking. I'm so glad this one is become a legend of it's own in that neighborhood.
