Artist's Comments

This is a giant 4 by 6 foot acrylic on masonite piece. It took me 4 days to do it, but I want to come back to it at a later date and refine it.

Source: Photo of an eating contest, from a 1975 National Geographic article on Baltimore, Maryland. I often use old National Geographic pictures as source material because the photos often have a certain contrast and tactility that lends itself well to painting.

I am overall pleased with this piece- it's pretty much life sized and everyone seems to love it. ^^

Thats really something. Hotdogs, I can only eat 3 before I get sick. Its probably the fact that its so processed. I really like the style you did it, I also like the guy with the sign on his chest. What the heck's name?

Good work.

Thanks, you mean Hogjaws? Yeah, he's one of my favourite people in the scene as well. I also like Mortimer, the guy with the bullhorn (my friend named him.) It looks like he's annoying the heck out of the guy in the suit. ^^

Wow, so far I thought you were mainly a digital artist. This is amazing, and so fast too. I couldn't believe you did it in 4 days!
