Vote for Lois Lane Not Superman Comic Book Trompe L’Oeil Painting

“Not like the other girls (vote for Lois),” acrylic on panel, 16″ x 16″. SOLD
 I have a small but growing collection of beat-up silver age comic books
and a particular affection for the “Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane”
books. The two books featured in this painting are from the 1960s. I
love the charm of the Lois Lane books, each of which captures different
aspects of a woman – in these two, empowerment. They always make me
smile, and I hope they make you smile, too!

I use many thin
glazes of transparent and opaque acrylic paint to achieve as much
smoothness and color richness as I can. Feel free to visit my instagram
page to see some step-by-step photos of this piece as I painted it:

I’m a full-time acrylic realism and trompe l’oeil painter creating whimsical food paintings inspired by real-life creations that I bake, decorate or scoop in my kitchen. All of my paintings are flat, painted with many thin layers of acrylic paint, aiming to look at three-dimensional as possible. I hope you’ll join me on the journey of creating art that brings a little happy magic into the world. I’ll be sharing my process, my insights, and hopefully some things that will inspire you to appreciate the little things around you every day.
