Title: Duane Medium: Urethane and oils on canvas Size: 36"x34"
I thought the title was a bit humorous, if indeed it turned out that the sumo wrestler's name was actually Duane!
This was finished last month, but since I have several other pieces in the works, I procrastinated until now. What struck me in the original reference photo (taken by one of my talented sons on my behalf) was the anachronism of the billboard, particularly since Hyundai means "modern" in Korean.
The other anomaly, of course, is the total absence of impact on anyone in the crowds passing by underneath this visually imposing, and somewhat grotesque advertisement.

This is huge amounts of awesomeness, and not just because of the sumos I love the crispness of the air that comes across, and like you said, the total non-impact the billboard has on the pedestrians. Lets spend millions on this prime billboard location and massive poster just for people to ignore it completely. Gotta love it

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset. My stock account [link]
Thanks Oscar. Actually, the hardest part of this painting was taking a decent photograph of it...and this is such an indistinct shot that does it no justice.
It's pretty funny actually, just yesterday I was in the city and failed to look up myself, only to discover great source material for potentially some of the most awesome work so far!
