The Escape

Toys escaping from a glass jar on to a rubik's cube
The Escape – 16″x12″

The Escape – 16”x12” acrylic on gessoed panel. This was a real challenge. Ultimately I’m pretty happy with the result, but struggled with what to allow and what to retouch. I love the idea of a big jar filled with little toys. It was difficult to choose a side to focus on. but when I realized I wanted the Hulk to look like he lifted the cover off to escape I could see which side worked best with that. I will likely attempt something similar in the future. 

The yellow blur at the top is Bumblebee. The Pac-Man windup is so yellow, i couldn’t feature Bumblebee too much. Thanks to @vehicle_for_butter and @tracey.starin for providing a few toys.
