repaintings

Repainting is taking an existing work of art, generally a physical painting or sculpture, and altering or adding to it. Usually the alterations "interact" with the original work more than obscure it, creating a new piece with new meaning derived from a hybridization of the original artist's intent and the repainter's additions.

RULES:

  1. Post repaintings. Do your best to give credit to the repainter if it's not you. Before and after pics are encouraged if available.

  2. Be cool. Constructive criticism is great, but recognize that art is often personal to the artist, and that artist is a human being.

  3. Sitewide rules apply.

I paint monsters into landscapes. This is the third one I did. I finished it in the high school classroom I was teaching in at the time. This painting gained some internet traction. I was eventually approached by Republic Records and the band Weezer to see if a deal could be made to use it as the cover of their 2014 album "Everything Will Be Alright in the End". I agreed.

Keep it up! These are cool. Reminds me of some pieces from Leroy’s Place.
