Pepsi and Coke

6"x4" oil on raymar panel. • I am not much of a cola drinker, so I do not have a horse in the "Cola Wars" race, but that poor Pepsi bottle seemed somewhat vertically challenged, so I went ahead and boosted it with one of the ubiquitous blocks that inhabit my studio. I have made roughly 10,362 wood objects for The Spawn to poke at, stab at, shoot at, throw at, cast a spell at, and otherwise attempt to maim each other with. Yes, I am The Evil Dad. Yet another uncomfortable designation that I seem to be strangely at peace with.  •  How I got from painting cola bottles to being and evil parent in such a short commentary is beyond me.
