So, I was looking through folders of my sold paintings back in December, and I found a few that I thought would be fun to reproduce. I originally painted these in 2011, on paper, and smaller. I didn’t paint them exactly the same as back then, but close enough.
As an artist, it’s fun to go backwards in time, sometimes, and wonder what possessed me to paint this little guy in the first place. It was titled Strange Dreams then, also. A few years from now, I’ll probably wonder why I reproduced these in 2014. LOL

I’m done going backwards in time for now. It was fun, sorta. I really like Stupid Haircut, especially the way I repainted it, but the other two characters aren’t my style anymore. I found it hard to paint them, and even harder to list them on Etsy because they’re a bit too cartoony for my taste now. I’m ready to jump back into 2014, and leave the past where it belongs. Bye!
