PAINT BY NUMBER PEE WEE
PAINT BY NUMBER PEE WEE
Gallery 1988s 7th annual Crazy 4 Cult art show is going on right now, and once again I had the honor of participating in it! This year I chose to celebrate one of my all-time favorite movies, Pee-wees Big Adventure, with this paint-by-numbers style acrylic piece.
(Its for sale HERE.) UPDATE: SOLD!
Applying this look to Pee-wees world made perfect sense to me. Not only does the fun, colorful, scenery translate to the format nicely, but both his movie home and his television playhouse are decorated with paint-by-number art.
I have a couple old paint-by-number pieces hanging in my bathroom too, which probably explains why this idea was inevitable.
This is actually the second artistic tribute Ive made to the film. The first was my wallet-size portrait of the Buxtons which came with Pee-wees wallet.
See below for more information about the show. You can view all the art HERE.
