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 a 20” x 24” canvas. This was made with the same techniques (for both the paint pour as well as the rotoscope tracing) as my yellow and orange version.

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 green, 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. Realizing the green and yellow paints turned out a little too pale, I added a subtle coat of glaze over the the whole painting; the glaze was made with a small amount of neon yellow paint mixed with water. The glaze gave the final painting a more yellowish tint. Finally I added coats of Liquitex high gloss varnish.
