Does this sculpture look familiar?

Yes, it's my billboard!

This artwork was created by using a mirror image of my sculpture "After the Plunge" ~ Thanks to the fabulous organization, ArtPop Street Gallery www.artpopstreetgallery.com which gives opportunities to artists that go way beyond the billboard. This award provides over $150,000 worth of advertising. ArtPop produces shows where our art work is for sale, workshops for learning the business of art and helping artists become visible and active in their community. You can see this billboard of my sculpture at 900 Tyvola right behind the Morningstar Storage building in Charlotte, North Carolina at Tyvola between Route 77 and Old Pineville Road. And a digital billboard of this same image will be at every charging station in the Charlotte-Douglas Airport, Charlotte, NC for the month of April. Also this image will appear on the Digital Media Billboard Advertising at Regal Cinemas in Ballantyne, North Carolina by Awedience. This artwork was created by using a mirror image of my sculpture, "After the Plunge" And there’s more…a copy of my billboard will appear at the uptown newsstand on Tryon right in front of the Ivey Hotel, Charlotte, NC

Personality Traits are acrylic, ink and graphite on carved plywood. Each is sealed with a poly-acrylic finish. When my young nephews visited my studio we started playing with the scrap wood.
