Well, first time I've really had to do this but really, what would you expect from a painting of GG Allin / el Duce from the mentors. If you know what you're getting into and want to see this mess. Up on my website with lots of warnings.
Two Thangs: pop art supreme
@twothangs.bsky.social
I make paintings where people give me two pieces of the outside world and we work together to make original pieces of art.
Throwback: This was done 2002ish? I don't know what the most punk rock painting I did back then was but this was the dirtiest. It was oil paint and also like, motor oil. FILTHY painting.
RIP Gloria Steinem! This painting was Feminism / Pitbulls and of course you were included.
This is the only other painting I've really had to censor, it's a Carol / Supernatural bedroom painting. Dean Winchester being taught the ways of the older woman.
The Great Escape / Mister Miracle painting with a huge nod to Jack Kirby and the sixties in general. Deep cuts are the cuts that cut deep. Raise your hand if you're a Steve McQueen fan?
I've got a dirty little punk rock painting coming your way this week. Or do I? Pray to the zuck that it may make it through. Anyways, here's Punk Rock / Houses to get you ready.
Two funny men make one hell of a painting. It's the big one! Two Thangs: Redd Foxx / Rodney Dangerfield.
What a decade it has been with the Bettie Page / Divine mural. After realizing it was the anniversary, I went back and found some of this fun footage over the years of working on it. If I was going to have a calling card for two thangs, I think this one might be the one.
10 years ago, I started work on what still stands as the biggest Two Thangs painting ever. Still so proud of that mural and all the work we've done around it. I get to hang out with the house owners next week and I'm super pumped about that. A decade of Bettie page / Divine is a great decade!
I don't like to post paintings I JUST posted but come on! Let's go Kenny Omega! The best bout machine just put on a masterclass and passed the torch as every great wrestler should. Hats off to that man and AEW for delivering.
This is where the Bob Ross / Golden Girls painting lives in its frame. My most popular painting of all time and an early indicator of where this all could lead.
We're wrapping up this summer and getting into bath season and real luchadors NEVER take off the mask! Here's Luchadors / Baths and I made up this soap / bubble themed luchador just for the painting but please feel free to steal it, any professional wrestlers following along.
Regional Food: Moxie! I love a moxie. Not only does it look cool and sounds awesome, but it's also a very unique soda. More herbalicious like a good root beer but it's got its own unique taste. Word is, they've toned down the recipe in the last decade but I'm a fan. randomly found across New England
Last year for Camp John Waters our cabin did mash up costumes of David Lynch characters and John Waters characters. We hatched a great plan for our 2026 cabin costumes and I'm hard at work on mine. CAMP IS SOON!
The show is down! Hope you got a chance to see it in person. Paintings will always look better in person so it was amazing to present them. A few of them found homes too! Thanks to AS220 for just being a great org.
Moment of Zen coming to you from the lower zambezi river at sunrise. Take a moment to enjoy this Saturday.
Brighter days for darker nights. It's the Obama / Black Metal painting
Scrawl Saturday: What was batman doing in that bathroom and what did he scribble out?
What I'm Listening to: Well, this new super group Gatta Morta has my attention for sure. Big Business, Melvins, Butthole Surfers & Mr. Phylzzz and it sounds like all of them at once. What a strong start and the only reason it's only in my wishlist is because I want to wait to grab the full album.
The Circle Kirk. I did this painting for a show at KEXP that was all artists painting on vinyl. Some really rad art in that show and I wish there were more silly little group shows like that going on to take part in. Where this one ended up? I have no idea.
Here are the details in my new Mister Miracle / Great Escape painting. You can see how comic book I can comic book (turns out, it's a lot). DCEU, hire me!
It's a new painting and it's my first ever shot at Anime! It's Rhea Ripley and Sailor Moon and you can see me trying to show off all the reflective paint in the chains. What do you think the title should be? Post it in the comments and if I use it, you win a prize.
A classic in its frame! It's the new Macho Man / Falkor painting in its amazing frame. See it live and in person for one more week! Show comes down this Sunday so get into AS220 and check it out.
Throwback: This is a big painting I did in maybe 2001ish. Towards the end of my studio art degree, I got way into paintings as installations. If there was any way to make them feasible for consumption, I'd still be messing with those ideas but turn out, no one wants a floor painting to trip over.
Almost forgot about this one, the very first Two Thangs painting featuring Andre the Giant and Ol Dirty Bastard. I've only been able to sneak in one Andre after this in a Princess Bride painting. Someday he will return!
Talkin bout RASSLIN? Yeah, I've painted some rasslin in my day. This was another early painting featuring WWF and Strawberry Shortcake in the survivor series team that never was but should have been.
Another rasslin classic! It's Kenny Omega / Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. With all the rumors of upcoming retirements of the elite, appreciate it while you've got it!
RIP Tim curry aka frankenfurter aka pennywise aka a billion great roles. I don't know what's in the air right now but it sucks. Never have gotten a chance to paint you but you were the cover of my favorite two Thangs calendar.
Here's how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / Traffic Lights painting came together. Love how weird this set is. Can you guess the other painting this one is tied to?
Another Dolly! This couple commissioned the Beyonce / Dolly painting that became a reality years later with the release of Beyonce's country album. Dolly is up on the list of most requested Thangs because everyone loved her. RIP queen of country.
