The Kiss

The Kiss, oil on canvas, 2011

Part of my “Get Angry” series, The Kiss is a rendition of Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss.

This series of paintings is about the protests and revolutions that have happened in 2011. The Kiss fits into this series by expressing protest against discrimination in the form of simple love. With the repeal of DADT and gay marriage being legalized in NY, this painting aims to represent that movement.

The rest of the paintings can be seen on my site: http://tlynnfaz.com

Prints + Commissions

For those that aren’t sure, I do sell prints of my work. For most of my celebrity portraits, I have a shop on Karmaloop.
The best way to order a print of my work is to simply email me about the painting you’re interested in. (See my portfolio here). I usually make the prints as the order comes in, and it’s possible that if I still have the painting in my possession, I can make a print of it.

I was going through the prints I have in stock now and I seem to have a lot of these four prints:

Because of that, I’m selling them on SALE! They are 11×14 inches, signed, for $20+shipping.

Also, this time of year I usually receive a lot of interest in commissioned portrait paintings. If you’re interested in that, email me!

Portrait by Sed MIles

We know how I feel about Sed’s work.

It was great to have him come by yesterday to shoot me. He posted the pic on his tumblr page along with an essay, if you will, that I wrote about being an artist.

Update

Okay, so it’s been a minute.

I’ve neglected wordpress because I’ve been hanging out with tumblr.
I don’t type much over there though – mostly I use it for pictures – so I will resume posting on this blog.

I’ve missed this place.

As well as hanging out on tumblr, I’ve been working!
So here are some updates:

- I’ve been working on a project for the past couple of months titled “Get Angry”. It will be done this weekend, and I’m pretty happy with the way it’s turning out. The project is a series of paintings on specific protests and revolutions that have happened across the world in 2011. I wanted to present them all at once, which is why I haven’t posted each individual piece as I’ve finished them, like I normally would. I will definitely post each painting and and explain them here once I put them out though.

- I redid my website. Woot!

- I’m currently exhibiting in a group show titled “Dirty Sensibilites” being held at the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI). The show is about southern life and culture. Being from Oklahoma, it was dope to revisit my youth and upbringing in the south for the show. I’ve been in Philly for so long that sometimes I forget about horses, the woods, fish fry’s, etc.

- For “Dirty Sensibilities, I did a new piece, Grandma Minnie. This painting, seen below, is following in the footsteps of my paintings Standing From What Was and Iran to America to Being, in that it uses paper along with oil paint. I love the effect, and am it using the same style in a few of the Get Angry pieces.

Stay around. I’m posting more. I promise. lol.

Amy Winehouse

I just finished this painting of Amy Winehouse. It took about an hour or so. I wanted to do a portrait of her when she passed but, I’ve been working on other things. Today I decided to sit down and paint her. I’m an Amy fan – and her death was a tragic shock.
