SXME: South by Middle East (Gus)

My buddy Gus bought a hideous, Southwestern landscape thrift store painting with some cool donkeys on it. I'm a judgey jerk and told him it was too ugly to hang up, but that I'd sanction it if he let me paint him in full Jordanian costume. (He's from Jordan.)

And he let me. And it's done. 

You'll Never Be Royal

Commission piece from my beloveds, Sheena & Jason. They'll put this in their new home to intimidate guests. I love them. This is my second-largest canvas to date. Jason's hand is too big, and his arm is too long. And Sheena has wonky eye. But they said they like it, so it's done.
