This week’s art is a pastel crayon and acrylic paint creation on illustration board that I started about six weeks ago, and never really finished.

It’s based on a photo I snapped of a protein drink display in Jungle Jim’s in Cinncinnati in early August.

Jungle Jim’s is some kind of barely describable hybrid of a supermarket,  a toy store and an amusement park, and you’ll learn more about it when we get around to making a return visit sometime in the future.

This was just a chance for me to try to paint a classic strongman pose.  I grew up copying art from superhero comic books, but I haven’t really revisited this theme much in the past forty five years or so.

The reason this is unfinished is that the ole MG is flaring up again. I was going to attempt a pencil drawing of a friend that I’ve wanted to do for weeks, but the fingers didn’t want to cooperate, so I dug this out of the slush pile.
