My sister was wedded on October 8th of this year, and I honorably served as one of five groomsmen. The first painting was a custom wedding gift to the two newlyweds, who were fortunate enough - the jerks - to go to Jamaica for their honeymoon. The painting ties in great amounts of personal symbolism in their marriage including the Earth's orbital position on the day of the wedding.
The second painting was started simply as a joke after making an unusual pessimistic comment on Thanksgiving. No great tale is without its great villain!
My apologies for the low resolution. I just took a picture of each with a basic digital camera. I'll get full quality images soon.
