Dog Kahuna
This one came straight from a dream — equal parts mythology and humor. It’s the idea of confidence without arrogance. This dog doesn’t care what you think — he’s already on the wave. I needed a painting that felt as fun as it was fearless. This is what it looks like when you stop asking permission to enjoy yourself.
A muscular dog-headed figure, styled like an ancient warrior, surfs a massive wave in mid-action. His chest is puffed, tongue out, and his gold fur pops against the swirling blue curl of the water. The color palette is bold and electric — deep ocean blues, rich golden yellows, and small accents of red in the Egyptian-style collar. The style leans toward surrealist action-portraiture, with heavy brushstrokes, exaggerated proportions, and dynamic movement. It’s fantastical, high-energy, and joyful.
