Not wanting to gender stereotype, as either of these paintings could have been made for girls.. basically any kid who is lego loving, a fearless flyer, a superhero, an awesome adventurer, a dynamic dinosaur hunter... a car cruiser, an intrepid explorer with a top imagination and the absolute intention of being the hero of their own life's adventure. In this case though, the recipients were boy flavour.
Austin loves green, cars, superheros and the great outdoors. Ben loves lego, flying, superheroes and battles.
When I look at these, for me, the ultimately cool thing is they look like pages of a good old fashioned adventure story book; a fantasy world that invites the reader/ viewer to enter, that has been specially customized for the intended child. So they can identify with it and hopefully love having it on display in their special space.
