BATTERY POWERED SHOWER PUMP

"Moment of Truth" 2011

I have been working on this puppy from mid December, until February 11th (Egypt's liberation), for 55 days exactly. I tried to step up my techniques game by adding airbrush (thanx to Luc Bouchard for lending me his pump) and oil paints (thanx to Kevin Ledo for the refresher sessions).

The piece is about a normal ...urban human as the middle of it's reality, at a crucial time where all parallel realities are open. As opposed to past mega paintings that focus more on worldwide and ancient cultures, I wanted to give more props to our own contemporary North American cultures. The man has a city landscape skate jam session going on to his right/east and a rocky mountain rain-forest surf session to his left/west. I also included graffiti and tattoos as art cultures I appreciate in our areas. The man is holing a power ball of light that has a crystal scull inside, the ancient technology we need to balance out the vibration and create the rainbow bridge to a better reality. To the left he has a futuristic ET , equipped with a Nintendo Power Glove, Zapper and Flux Capacitor (props to video game and psi-fi cultures) and to the right he has a multicultural Goddess Priestess with a mega crystal. Both shoot rays to activate his heart, so the evolution is complete.
Above we have a more higher aspect of the God face, complete with flower/plant soul, freedom bird consciousness, 3d flower of life and a votex into infinity! We also see the Sun and Moon on each side of the male/female duality of this canvas, as well as a dieing planet with blood earth and black oil sea (top left), and a pure healed earth (top right) that is upside down cause it is after the axis flip.

Anyways, big thanx to my reference pictures models: Barry, Valerie, Csilla. Please feel free to share. I can make canvas prints on request if you'd want this on your wall. Blessssssssss!

At the moment, it sits in front of my house.
This has had a variety of engines, a turbo, a V6 a NA 2.0 - all of which were taken out.
The fuel pump jammed up, the coil has gone, and the half tank of fuel has gone yellow. The interior was full of mouse poo, it stank, and glass was everywhere.
Windscreen and dents courtesy of vandals/thieves that broke in. I will sort it all out in summer 2011. I intend to spend a few weeks giving it a complete overhaul, a full respray with new interior and a new rebuilt engine.
