I really wanted to capture the iconic sign of the Linbrook Bowl in Anaheim, Ca. I’d been wanting to paint it traditionally in oil for over a year, but with a lack of space and since I’ve been practicing my digital art lately I figured I’d give it a try. So I fired up photoshop and toiled away and in the end I learned a lot and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

I grew up down the street from there and went there weekly. I love this.

Very nice.

Are you aware of the Googie movement in architecture and signage? Think boomerangs, starbursts and parabolae.

I think you might enjoy researching the history of this short lived, hyper-localised style.

Is there a digital print available? I grew up down the street from there. My entire family has since moved away and is scattered across the country. This brings back so many memories. Very well done.

Thanks! I wasn’t aware until I started doing a little bit of research when I was painting this but now I’m thinking it might be fun to paint the remaining googie buildings that still exist in the area

Love this style! Ever since I encountered Hiroshi Nagai and Hockney's Bigger Splash I've fallen for that minimalist California vibe

Thank you!! 🙏🏼 I was honestly so conflicted about how those came out but I’ll definitely have to do something that focuses on them if at least to practice them more!
