Here's a new piece I just acquired for my converted Victorian era...

...garage gallery:



Close -up:





The piece is untitled, the artist is ABEK, and, full disclosure, he's my son.

Airbrush acrylic on wood panel, 18" x 14", framed size, 19 1/2" x 15 5/8".

When he was a little kid, he lived in my airbrush/recording studio, surrounded by art and artists/musicians.

He is also a very accomplished drummer.

Bonus points for identifying the artist he's influenced by.

I gave him Giger's "Necronomicon" when he was around 12, because he was a big fan of the movie "Alien."

He's got a BFA, majored in printmaking, but is a great airbrush artist too.

...only a small portion of the whole space is visible in that last pic.

I'll take a few more photos and add them to the OP later on.

I'm sitting in there right now, semi-watching "Coming 2 America."

I didn’t take a very good pic, but I love the corporate America choking the life out of one theme (I bought this back when I was part of that world)
