Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera in Alice In Wonderland

Diego as Twiddle-Dee and Frida as Alice In Wonderland

Diego as Tweedle-Dee & Frida as Alice In Wonderland
These are preliminary sketches for paintings I’m preparing to paint.
I absolutely LOVE
“ALICE IN WONDERLAND”
… I loved it as a child & now even more at 54!!
I can’t wait to see Tim Burton’s version of it…
In 3-D no less!!! I Love Tim Burton & his clan!
In 2006 I made a cartoon of Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera…
Diego was “Tweedle-dee”!
His figure was perfect! He WAS “Tweedle-Dee”!!!
I couldn’t stop thinking of Diego as Tweedle-Dee (or Dum!)
So, I made a cartoon, (which I will post as soon as I unpack it!)
of Diego walking with Frida Kahlo…
THEN…
I decided to make a painting of Frida as Alice and Diego as Tweedle-Dee…
The above pictures are a few of my preliminary
sketches & cartoons in my process…
IN THE MEAN TIME…
Boy, I can’t wait to see the movie!
CHEERS to Tim Burton’s creation of
“ALICE IN WONDERLAND”!!!!

I’m having FUN with Frida’s image!
I just discovered gauche and I love the rich colors.
I like making different characters out of Frida’s face.
I’m drawn to transvestites & cross dressers
and there is something masculine about Frida
to me in some of her paintings & often she ends up
as a transvestite in my work!
She was bi-sexual and has painted herself as a man.
Many of her self portraits include monkeys.
I, personally, am a big fan of monkeys,
and I love the old fashioned sock monkeys!
In Chinese astrology, I am a Fire Monkey!
This series I’m calling
“Frida transvestites & other characters with uni-brows and sock monkeys”
If you hadn’t noticed…I have a strange sense of humor!

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

NUN GUY

- Is it a nun? A sailor? Or a man wearing a prayer cap in an archway?

Ambiguous Art

Is it a NUN? Sailor? Or man wearing a prayer cap in an arch way?
“NUN GUY” is one of my favorite creations! I love him/her because it is ambiguous. Is it a nun? A sailor? Or a man wearing a prayer cap in an archway? I love art that plays games with your mind, that you can see several different things in one image. I have another character like this I call “One Eye Guy”. Both characters I work with a lot. I have them both on my ETSY shops…

I have a zine of One Eye Guy which I hope to post soon…stay tuned!
