Using the base design of my LEGO-inspired minifigure pop-art illustration from 2023, I’ve created this painting by projecting the image of my minifigure onto an abstract acrylic paint pour on an 18” x 24” canvas.

I’ve been tinkering with acrylic paint pours since fall 2023 for a guerilla art project, and as of 2024 I’ve been honing my skills and using new chemicals for better pouring techniques. Combining neon orange, neon yellow, and titanium white paints from Blick Art Supplies mixed with Floetrol latex paint additive, I’ve created an abstract swirled pattern onto the canvas. After the paints dried, I used a small projector to trace the outlines of my minifigure artwork with a pencil, and then I went over the lines with several layers of black acrylic paint. Finally I added coats of Liquitex high gloss varnish.
