"A Great Big Bushy Beard"
Acrylic on canvas - 30"x10"
Here is a show that I am really excited to be a part of - A
tribute to Edgar Wright and his terrific films. I have to say, even though all his movies are thoroughly enjoyable, "
Hot Fuzz" wins out for me because of all the deranged characters in Sanford. From Simon Skinner to Michael "Yarp" Armstrong, it's hard to choose a favorite. More than anything else in the film - the line "A Great Big Bushy Beard" always stuck out in my mind - thanks to the energetic delivery by Jim Broadbent's character Frank Butterman. My interpretation of this phrase pays homage to the poor police officer that Nicholas Angel replaces - buried (or I guess just placed) in the tombs of the town. There is one quick shot where this phrase echo's in actor Simon Pegg's head - so I wanted to create something that looked a bit horrifying but still had a lighthearted twist.
As this show is being publicized - some "special guests" will be in attendance for the opening tomorrow. I think we all know who they are! Be sure to get in line and take in all the wonderful art treats that have been collected for this great tribute!
