The Space Cowboy and his SouvenirsOil on Canvas 24” x 36”
This character shows up in Gerald’s Game by Stephen King. At first I only wanted to paint the bones and jewels, but a friend pressed that I “have to do that guy!” It was a challenge because he is deformed by acromegaly, a condition I found more written descriptions for than visual. I photographed a model holding the box and chose the bones and jewels as described in the book using visual reference. This piece was awarded Best of Show at World Horror Con 2000 and Colorado Illustrators Show in 2002. Available as a 16”w x 24”h giclee reproduction on gallery wrap canvas.
