Pants On Fire Busy · Thrift-store re-paintings

Something's different about this painting.

I find secondhand paintings and add a little pop-culture mischief to the scenery. The original artwork stays mostly as I found it. The unexpected guests? They're new.

A few familiar scenes, with a few unexpected visitors.

The method behind the mischief

Found. Interrupted. Re-homed.

The find

I start with a secondhand landscape, portrait, or other painting that has a little history of its own.

The tiny twist

I hand-paint a small character or scene into the existing picture. I don't cover up the whole painting; the fun is finding where something unexpected almost belongs.

The new home

Each original keeps its found frame, character marks and all. Prints let more people share the joke, without needing a vintage frame of their own.

Art prints with a plot twist

View all

The originals have stories. And occasionally dents.

Every original is a one-of-a-kind find, usually in the very frame I found it in. Scratches, scuffs, and little signs of a previous life are part of the charm.

I keep this art affordable on purpose: I would rather see a painting on your wall than stacked in my studio. I'm getting more originals ready for online sale. In the meantime, ask me about a piece you've seen.
