I'll have two pieces in this show curated by www.creepmachine.com, should be pretty fun and I wish I could go. My two portraits of a character I call "Switchblade Sue" are just based in general off all the girl gang related teen exploitation movies I've seen over the years. Here are some clips to get you in the mood. High School Caesar is one of my favorites, although the clip doesn't show the gang leader's girlfriend with huge knockers and bizarre eyebrows. But boy, I wish I could have an "anything goes party!" like in the High School Hellcats. Maybe when I turn 30 in June?
"Switchblade Sue Will Cut You" 8x10 inches, oil on board.
This is for the B Movie group show at Space Gallery in SF coming up in April. I've watched a lot of teen exploitation flicks from the 1950s involving girl gangs, or sorority girls who are just bad, so this character was just sort of inspired by those as a whole.
