The Tide is Terning

Description

Because this is painting #16, I figured that called for an F16 Military Jet look. The first jet bears the number 16 indicating that this is painting 16. The name on the cockpit is “Capt Morgan”, and because when drinking Captain Morgan, people tend to get “bombed”, therefore the stickers on his fuselage are mainly people and cars. The middle bird bears the name Col. Sanders on it’s canopy. And the bird on the far right hand end bears the name “Maj. Tom” on its canopy because while I was working on this painting David Bowie passed away. I decided to paint this bird with an open and empty cockpit indicating that David Bowie has forever left the premises. That is why there are three planes flying in the missing man formation in the background starting at just about the cockpit area of Major Tom’s bird.

There are 16 computer components scattered around throughout the painting. Some serve are crabs in the sand, some as people or robots standing in the background, some as buildings, and some as litter.
