Kritterland

Finished painting. Kritterland, Rob Elliott, 30″x40″, acrylic on canvas, 2021. Private collection.

I recently completed this large painting commissioned by a Chicago patron. Kritterland is an anthropomorphic spin on the famous Kiddieland amusement park sign which once stood in Melrose Park, Il.

Kiddieland sign, Melrose park, Il.

This painting was right up my alley. I sketched some urban animals in the same poses as the children on the original sign. As with all my fauna, I was careful not to make them too cute. There’s a feral edge to all my animals. You can dress them up, but maybe don’t invite them inside!

I shipped this minotaur commission to a client last week. As you can see by her reply email, she was rather pleased:

Holy sh*t, Rob . . .  He is fanf*ckingtastic!!!!
