It had been awhile since I nicked something from ArtMoCo. So, when I saw Kirsten Johnson's series of sock puppet paintings I knew they needed to be lifted to my site. These paintings are done in oil on chalkboards with the titles written in chalk. The images show the sock puppets in varying actions and behaviors, and allow you to see a side of sock puppets you rarely get to see at puppet shows.
This from ArtMoco:
"Touchy-feely is a series of oils on chalkboard by Toronto artist Kirsten Johnson who conceived of the idea of using sock puppets as subjects during convalescence after being hit by a car. Johnson sought comfort in the notion of a sock puppet show that never took place, and eventually created portraits of them."
