This started because I liked painting friends of mine into thrift store landscapes, largely because I hate painting the landscape part (trees and mountains bore the crap outa me).  It also prompted a fairly awkward dilemma for the recipients of the painting; "do we actually hang this up, or just when Randy comes to visit?"  Soon, this social experiment became the ultimate wedding gift for any betrothed couple, and has since evolved into already-married couples, divorced couples, pets, families, even a man and his boat.  These paintings are monstrous, horrific and rarely do the subjects resemble the actual people they were based upon...HOWEVER, if you're looking for the perfect ice-breaker for any social event, you've found it.  Whatever you fancy, it can be done.  Contact me at randy@foreignamericanpictures.com to set up a commission.
