Bunnyzilla vs. China is a collaboration piece between Randoid and myself on a piece of found art which Randoid found at a second hand store. The original painting was of junks floating in water with a dark jungle type of background. Originally Randoid had sketched some funky futuristic buildings/cityscape in the background and the giant bunny stomping through it. He tried painting the background some weird metallic yelowish-green colour but couldn't match the colours at all . One night I was at his studio watching him paint, just hanging out and in front of me was the bunny painting. I asked him if he would mind if I took a go at finishing it, or in this case re-doing the whole thing. He said I could and a couple hours later most of what you see in the finished painting was roughed in. I managed to take the piece home and proceeded to finish the work, logging approximately six more hours before completion.
The original piece has some wear and tear , some cracks in the paint, etc. They still show but a clear acrylic resin has sealed them nicely, protecting it from more cracking.
The finished painting has phosphorescent pigment in the lazer beams as well as in the lights on the buildings and the fire/explosions. It is a very exciting piece with the lights on or off.
An open edition print series is available at a cost of $20.00 cdn. each. Available through HOUSE OF RTS in Squamish, Cleveland Ave, or email me directly liquidsunshinedesigns@gmail.com
The original painting is priced at $800.00.
