My kid liked it, so I framed it and it now hangs on his wall.

I painted this 3 years ago almost day for day. [update: I misread the month next to my signature 😱 It was Jun. not Jan. So “almost”, give or take 6 months! 🤪]

I borrowed the first image to the so very talented @tomhaugomat.
(Third piece with acrylic paint markers – I am loving it.)

New art: (updated) Art Deco ad for Herkules Bier from the 1930s
10 Jan
I fixed several proportion problems that became obvious the next day 🙃
Experimenting with acrylic paint markers.
This is after an Art Deco ad for Herkules Bier from the 1930s.

I was researching this particular ad to learn more about its history and who created it but I didn’t find a lot of hits. However I was glad I found a review someone wrote about an Art Deco book that features this image. Here’s the comical thing they say about it:
“On page 89 is an ad for Herkules Bier “aus dem Hasenbrau-Augsburg.” The sinister, leviathanic, muscle-bound, fist-clenched figure uses one of the hallmarks of Art Deco—deep shadow to enhance contrast—to convey a message as self-contradictory as it is threatening: Drink this and it won’t go to your belly, it will build the muscle of Germany. Rage is power, and watch out you fops of Versailles.”
