My X-mas present

[polaco23]

I told you guys i will show you what Brenna got for me for xmas, in addition to my Sony Cybershot.......here ya go.

her brother is a talented artist, so she went and bought a large canvas, and some paints, and told him i wanted Elroy Jetson painted on it, POP ART style (acrylic on canvas). Well, also i wanted it to be a style of one of my favorite artists (both Burton Morris & KAWS have made similar pieces), but the works cost $80k and up.

I like mine more. He put his little touches on it, which makes it that much better IMO.




And in my bedroom, with two other watercolors, both from Banana Republic ( i worked there when i started college, and they were throwing out these original artworks, with the wood frames!)

The painting is 2 feet tall, and 18 inches long

Kanye West has similar taste (a similar painting is in this video, 2:58) but the difference is he's a douchebag, and im not.

I wouldn't have guessed it based on a wordy description alone, but I like it. Pretty cool. You probably better hang on to that one; she seems pretty cool too.

[polaco23]

Thanks Chris! Yeah both Elroy & Brenna are real keepers!

Im going to ask her brother to paint me something similar to one of these, all from my favorite artist, KAWS.

My favorite piece from him:


and these are also faves, in his studio

[polaco23]

thanks guys, im really proud to have it hanging on my wall. And he is also a tatoo artist, and is going to be doing my tattoo (my avatar) this year.

[KWIATEK]

Sweet gift.

I really like the Big Boy one you put in there. That was my favorite place to go when I was a young kid. There are no more, at least where I grew up.

Great stuff, everyone needs some color in their house. We just got some of these prints from Mark Ryden, kinda expensive, but well worth it, more interesting than what my friends have on their walls!!

[polaco23]

Mark rydens stuff scares the crap out of me! i dunno how you dont get freaked out by it. I mean it is interesting, but really scary. Like nightmare stuff.

[mvyadam]

Yeah,they tend to raise eyebrows when people come over,here's one thats not too scary and even has your Bob's big boy



This year's Christmas card from us:
