Mulga 2012, Zombie Tennis Player, Acrylic and Posca on wood, 68 x 102 cm
This is a big orange zombie that I painted. His name is Allen.
He looks like he just finished a marathon tennis match and he is really
parched. You can tell because his tongue is lolling about and his gums are
showing because they are really dry and his lips are getting caught on them.
That happens to me sometimes. It makes me look like a horse. When I was
in school I used to ride my bike and sometimes when I arrived at school in the
morning my lips would be stuck to my gums and I would look heaps funny. My
friends would point and laugh because I looked so different from normal.
He is also really weary which you can tell from his eyes, his left eye
in particular. It has an odd squint about it.
I am not sure if you can tell from this picture but there is a huge
amount of detail in his facial hair and headband. That is his favourite
headband because his grandmother knitted it for him before she passed away. It
has strong sentimental value for him and he cherishes it dearly. It is also
really effective at keeping the zombie sweat out of his eyes during a long
rally.
This painting is for sale.
See you next time.
