PAINTING | “Rice Krispies Retrograde”

Jimmy Danko — Thu, 31 Dec 2015 00:03:55 +0000

Growing up one of my fave toys was Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe, so after talking with the collector and agreeing on what elements to include in the painting, I was stoked to bring this commission to life. “Rice Krispies Retrograde” is the latest addition to the Retrograde Series, and second designed to emulate a cereal boxtop. It features the Gundam robot MSZ-010 and the G.I. Joe figure Snake Eyes. The background is inspired by elements of a Rice Krispies box from 1973. Each panel measures 24″ x 32″ (middle panel 36″h) plus attached cutouts. The entire piece is hand-painted with oils & acrylics on hand-chiseled 3/4″ thick plywood, and archivally coated. The back is stained, varnished and includes the secret message “Friends Climb High” stenciled on oxidized steel plates (see photo). SOLD
