The Mattel show opens tomorrow night at @galleries1988! When @cuddlyrigormortis invited me to be a part of this show, I decided I wanted to make a piece that was a gentle statement about the beauty of breaking restrictive gender barriers when it come to allowing our children to experience the magic of play. Imagination is one of the hugest job requirements for artists, and I think it's something to be celebrated and protected. Play should have no limits and no boundaries. Gender should just be a tick in the box on a piece of paper - not something that limits our expression as humans. #loveislove #playisplay #colorhasnogender #mabgraves #popsurrealism #oilpainting #joysoftoys #barbie #mattel
