It was painted for the POW! WOW! Hawaii show curated by Thinkspace Gallery back in February, 2016. ??The original painting was created with oil on a prepared DiBond panel. I actually have the specific dates for this one: I started January 5th and then it was finished and varnished January 19th, 2016. This one was very organic actually. It was my first shoot with the model, and I asked that she bring some stuff that might be fun to paint — which is a terribly vague request to make of somebody that isn't a painter. She came wearing this leather jacket with traditional pyramid studs, and also these little metal dots (for lack of a better word.) I was super into it so we started there. I think the reference shot I ended up painting was really early in the session, and I don't think I did any work in photoshop to come up with the final comp." - Aaron Nagel.
