Check Out These Surreal New York City Subway Paintings Featuring Animal Heads on Humans

Back to Article

It’s summer vacation and this family is waiting for the train at Columbus Circle to start a fun New York adventure! This is the first piece I’ve done with different animals. 🦏🦆🐼🐨 While I was painting I was thinking about how each animal captured the specific personality of the person. A fun little detail: all the animals are herbivores and yet the mother’s bag is alligator skin. A little twist to predator/prey dynamic. At 40 x 55 inches this is one of the largest oil paintings I’ve made to date.
