This is NOT a painting of NYC, but of another dimension....

If you've ever watched the movie Super Mario Brothers The Movie, you'll probably recognize this skyline from Dinohattan. There's a brief "fly-over" of the city in the movie, and from a crumby Polaroid I took of the TV of that scene, I spent a day grounded back in 1994/95 painting this on a wooden board in my bedroom.

Recently I dug this out of my old bedroom at my Mom's house after finding a SMB website that's actually NEW, digging up a bunch of old information from the series. I was a HUGE addict of the movie, and I thought I'd share this little painting (although it's a pretty crappy photograph of it, my apologies, there's no daylight and I wanted to take a picture of it NOW...) The towers were drawn originally on line paper and then pressed into the wood, and painted using craft acrylic (my favorite medium) and probably finished over the course of 8 hours or so when I was a teenager. I remember painstakingly counting all of the stories of the buildings so I could get all of the little details right - pity I didn't have much eye for realism and still don't!

Just thought I'd share it since I don't put up many of my paintings.
