Fossil Hunter…Intergalactic anthropologists surmise that the planet had been struck by an asteroid burying large portions in ash which preserved them for millions of years until winds blew the ash away revealing the fossil remains of this ancient civilization.

Bel air…she drinks beer while driving and enjoys the convenience of no parking zones so she’s just the kind of girl Woody P likes so he has to play it cool and pretend he doesn’t notice her #urbansurrealism #oilpainting #woodpecker #belair #chevrolet #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrBpzD_PT--/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Re-Animator…I went to my studio Sunday and couldn’t stop shivering otherwise I would have painted the guitar strings. By Monday I was full on sick took my temperature which was 103 so Robin broke out the Covid tester and it was a hard positive so I went back to bed and slept 36 hours and now I feel a little better. #zombies #keithrichards #mickjagger #reanimator #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrLw1fgr3uu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fentanyl Academy…several years ago my mother in law was prescribed fentanyl patches which came with big warnings to handle with gloves on and last week a big drug bust occurred and in the photo were bags of fentanyl pills in Easter egg colors so that’s some of the backstory to this painting #urbansurrealism #fentanyl #oilpainting #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrED4s_L3n4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Invasive Species…the idea of a bat shark came to me while I was waking up and I was going to do a portrait version of it but like lots of people I had watched Wednesday on Netflix so I knew Morticia would love the creature and I figure she drives a vintage Cadillac #urbansurrealism #morticiaaddams #batshark #oilpainting #cadillac #lowbrowpopsurrealists #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7WqmPv2UP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
