SKIMMING THE RED ZONE (2021) Acrylic on Board - 9 ½” x 17 ¼” I often see pictures in my mind when I glance at accidental shapes created by brush marks or overspills in the studio. 1/2 #leftoversandpalettegremlins #sciencefiction #illustration

DARK FORTUNE (2017) Acrylic - 12” x 9” A dark smudge on palette paper suggested a hooded figure...and it turned into the Man in Black from Stephen King’s opus The Dark Tower. https://www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/2017-leftover-7/ #fantasy #leftoversandpalettegremlins #stephenking #darktower

PARTY ANIMAL (2016) Oil on Canvas - 8” x 10” This “Leftover” was gleaned from a palette set up for a morning oil painting exercise (a horror riff depicting author Stephen R. Cox as one of the “rad leps” from his Mutant Hunter series). 1/3 #leftoversandpalettegremlins #horror

BETWEEN TWO WORLDS (2021) Acrylic on Illustration Board - 10” x 7 ½” This started with a piece of the illustration board that I was using as a backsplash for a series of small monochrome works. One morning I came into the studio and in the random lines and shapes that marked the surface, I glimpsed a finished space scene. https://www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/2021-leftover-8/ #leftoversandpalettegremlins #sciencefiction #illustration
