The BOOM! series was inspired by the Saturday morning cartoons I watched as a kid. Looney Tunes cartoons depicted explosions in such an artful way. My favorite character, Wile E. Coyote, was often misguided and overly ambitious. His self destructive tendencies are unrivaled. I often wonder what he would do with himself if he’d ever been successful at eliminating his only companion.
This series offers me the opportunity to explore and experiment with colors and brush strokes that I don’t typically use in my work. As well as ponder on my own self-destructive tendencies.
