A makeup and Fx behind the scenes photograph from Gostbusters 2.

Oil on canvas

I found the image a few years ago and then when trump got elected it seemed like an appropriate time to paint it. It’s always nice when the images while Benign in there original intent have some sort of subtext. This one always had pretty obvious subtext in spades but maybe a little more so now. Also now with the next in  along line of mass shootings and the same old tired wheeling out of the 2nd amendment. The image once again gains hidden meaning that was never intended by the original photo. Well I dont think it was intended anyway.

As always it’s not really finished as such but I’ve hit a roadblock with it as I do with so many paintings. Just usual I hit it allot earlier.
