I Want You For the Foot poster-- My good friend Brandon Schaefer got an invite to contribute to The Autumn Society's TMNT show down in PA, and when he told me, I begged him to consider doing a collaboration piece. I am a HUGE tmnt fan and was looking for an excuse exactly like this to paint a little bit of fan art. After an hour or so of reminiscing cowabungas and mousers, we decided that paying homage to the silliest of villains would be perfect – and in what better way than making a satirical piece of political propaganda! Sadly, we didn't make the deadline for the show, but you can buy prints here! Check out the rest of Brandon's terrific work on INPRNT as well!

Below you will find a collection of progress images and finally the full masterpiece, complete with Brandon's exquisite eye for typography. This illustration was painted using acrylic on 16" x 20" gesso board.

The painting below is a work in progress. I'm just having so much fun with it I couldn't wait to include it on here before its done! The bottom right image is a photograph taken in the initial stages of blocking out the imagery.
