Snoopy + Clifford = Oh God, No.

Oh Luis. Will you ever win? I can't believe there are so many bad paintings in this collection with your name at the bottom. I'm no art critic, but a little forethought on the subject of relative scale might have served you well. Luis is a prime example of why you shouldn't encourage people who clearly suck at something just to be polite. Please just shatter their dreams and spare us the a future of bad art.

This is one of just a few paintings where Snoopy is acting like a dog and actually being nice. Unfortunately it's in rough shape and paint is shedding from the velvet. I should take it to the art restoration gallery down the street just to give them a laugh.

Looking tough...

...in the pink trenchcoat. This is actually - if you can believe it - a consistent aesthetic choice for Rodriguez. He digs the pastels. It gives this and the rocket painting a certain art-deco vibe.

Snoopy in the outfield, take 20.

2007-05-31T19:43:00.001-06:00

This is a knock off of one of my favorites and pretty unreamarkable by comparison. I like the five finger ball glove though, a nice anthropomorphic touch.

A Happy Go-Lucky Gunslinger

2007-05-31T19:37:00.000-06:00

Hard to be intimidated by the weaponry with the smile. Unless it's the smile of a maniac, in which case this painting got a lot more interesting. The only painting in the collection where the weapon is actually being used, and the only representation of a personal firearm.

I'd like to think the chipped paint and agonized expression on Snoopy's face added up to some larger artistic statement. Unfortunately, with Luis at the helm, we know this is simply not the case. In his defense, this is actually one of his better renderings of the beagle.

Siesta

2007-05-31T18:31:00.000-06:00

This is a very bright and colorful painting, which the scan captures quite well. The 'monkey-feet' make me laugh, though it's a popular editorial decision among many of the Snoopy Painters. The way his face disappears inside the sombrero is a nice touch.

One nipple glove and one initiation beanie, coming up.

2007-05-09T21:06:00.000-06:00

Where to begin. This one almost qualifies as Ugly, but I like it too much. This particular Baseball scene turns up a lot, often with Snoopy asleep. I enjoy that Luis gives us the profile of the face, but goes with more of a 3/4 thing with the mouth (either that or it's some kind of social commentary on having a cleft-palate?). The three breasted glove (no doubt made out of the midget hooker from Total Recall) is an esepcially nice touch.

Road to nowhere

Another of the non-favorites, similar to this one. Just kind of ugly. If you check out the aviator or doghouse labels you'll notice this Red Baron scene is a pretty popular depiction - Aviator cap, goggles, driving the house. This one just sort of sucks.

Subject? Asleep. Artist? Also asleep.

2007-05-09T20:58:00.000-06:00

Awful. Not even half trying. One of the few in the collection that I won't bother displaying. Notice - One foot, awkward position of the hand holding the candle and - in a tie for most inexplicable element: The fish skeleton attached to the sleeping cap and the junk in the trunk he's hauling under his nightgown. Bad.

Probably the second Snoopy-related painting that wasn't of Snoopy (One of the Charlie Brown's I have being the first) but the second painting I found signed Angel, which based on the others, seems to be the same person. That could also just be the name of the art school that cranked out these fine specimens of perspective.

The painting that launched 1,000 ships

2007-05-09T20:47:00.000-06:00

I received the first painting in my collection for my birthday. My favorite thing about this painting has to be the expression. Something about the way the eyes are painted combined with the bat leads me to believe Snoopy is on his way to beat the shit out of someone.
