This painting was done in 1986 as a record album cover, bizarrely enough for a 'Jackson 5' type R&B group, The Sylvers. Warner Brothers records had chosen the name 'Bizarre' and I simply painted just that. I spent about a month painting this which was much longer than the usual one week on most of my paintings now.

Some of my early artistic influences were Rockwell, Monet, Warhol, Rembrant, Magritte and of course, Salvador Dali.
