Update from the studio

Brandi and I were lucky enough to meet the hardcore legend himself Mick Foley last week and he signed the proof of my Two Thangs book on the page featuring my Cactus Jack / Geto Boys painting. He said it was awesome! That's two signatures in this bad boy (w/ John Waters What a pair of my heroes!)

Today is Macho Man Randy Savage and Ol Dirty Bastards birthday! (Along with PGB and Mr. Fitness). It's a great day to eat cake,get CREAM and snap into it. Wuuuuuuu yeeeeaaaahhhhh

I know, I already posted this Tears for Fears / Breakfast Club painting but here it is after it was framed. Didn't it look so great? It went off to the commissioning party and it's forever home looking like a 10 out of 10.

Thanks everyone that stuck with the history of Two Thangs! It was fun to journey through the past. The Patron Sketchathon is the present so make sure you vote this week! Future is the Dirtbag Pinup Calendar 2026.

How about a NEW PAINTING? It's Freddie Krueger and Jessie Pinkman here to say a word to ya. Dumb idea but what a fun painting (original is still for sale actually). Prints available!

Patreon Sketchathon 2025 - 15 of 15: Get your votes in! I'll tabulate in a week. This final one is Rats and Race Cars. What a great year for the sketchathon.

Patreon Sketchathon 2025 - 14 of 15: Wrestling and Guitars featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin who would make a guitar out of beer cans. It'd sound like shit but he'd head bang anyways. HELL YEAH!

Patreon Sketchathon 2025 - 12 of 15: Kill Bill / Mentos. I picture the bride has just murdered 12 ninjas and then stops for some freshmaker afterwards. Your vote can make it happen!

Patreon Sketchathon 2025 - 10 of 15: Francis Ha / Gerard Way. Two Thangs I was unfamiliar with! My niece does love MCR though so I've been meaning to give them more of a chance.

Patreon Sketchathon 2025 - 9 of 15: Groundskeeper Willie / Karaoke. I made a big faux paus this year when an Irish DJ was talking about what he was going to play that night. You can guess how that story unfolded.

Hey, in this year's Sketchathon, I finally became a Thang! Yep, lil ol' me as a thang. I'd like to thank the academy. This is Banksy / Two Thangs #patreonsketchathon2025

Patreon Sketchathon 2025: number 2/15. It's Jackass and peppa pig. I hate that I can't ever stop laughing at Jackass movies but they just hit the spot. 1 point for a like, 2 for a comment and 3 for a share. Winner becomes a painting!

Patreon Sketchathon 2025 - 7 of 15: New Orleans is by far the most tied in place I've had the pleasure of painting. I think like 8 or 9 paintings about the Big Easy and I've never even been there as a business. Anyways, I really love this Andre 3000 / Mardi Gras painting.

Patreon Sketchathon 2025 - 8 of 15: This Goat Simulator / Red Lobster would be a video game painting which I have very few of. You can make it happen if you love those weird goats! baaaaaah the vote.

Vote David Morales for Mayor of Providence! It's the last day of Those Island Comic Con and I've only seen a few PVD people but I'm rocking my new Morales short anyways. Drop on by the booth before you get your picture with the stinger. Bonus pic of Brandi in the Blockbuster recreation in my stories

Hi! It's me Two Thangs here at Rhode Island Comic Con. Drop by the booth today and say the secret phrase "Thangs me, big boy" and I'll give you something cool for free.

Do you have one of my Peg Bundy / Elvira pins? They're pretty dope and on sale now in the store.

Painting 305: It's the Tears for Fears / the Breakfast Club painting that has you all in your feelings. There's no turning back, It's in your heart. You're a bad kid and you know it. #tenyearsoftwothangs

Painting 306: It's the second appearance of both Freddy Krueger and Breaking Bad (in the form of Jesse Pinkman here). I doubt I'll be able to finish up another painting before this count catches up so this is where we'll stop! Order a custom painting for yourself today! Let's make 306 more of these.

Painting 300: #valentines / #albumcovers. Kinda funny this ended up here but it's the album art for the Mister Wonderful 10 inch record. That's my band! We've still got a couple left. They're shaped like hearts and hand silkscreened with this design

Dirtbag Pinup calendars pre-orders are LIVE on the site! A little break before I start the Patreon Sketchathon 2025. This was my foray into SW as a stripper at a bachelorette party. We do what we can to make ends meet

I'm here set up at my hometown show! @ricomicconofficial is this weekend and I hope you drop by the booth to say hi if you're here. Thelma & Louise are in attendance!

Painting 299: #theylive / #cheers. This is a personal favorite and was so fun. Give me any Carpenter (or Hot Rod) and I'm going to run with it. I grew up on Cheers reruns and I think I know who the reptilians were. #tenyearsoftwothangs

Painting 304: #pinkflamingos / #greygardens. The perfect pairing that was put together by the campers at Camp John Waters. I asked for suggestions and they sure gave me a great duo. RIP #divine! FILTH IS MY POLITICS #tenyearsoftwothangs

Painting 301: #sexandthecity / #steaks. Really love this painting and it pops HARD in person. I'm hoping to get a gallery show going here in Providence in the next year so I can show some of these off. Who has ideas on where to have it? #tenyearsoftwothangs

Painting 303: #ramdas / #VWbus. Open your third eye and take a magic carpet ride. This might be my closest yoga painting. #tenyearsoftwothangs

Patreon Sketchathon 2025! As the graphic says at the back, 1 point for a like, 2 for a comment and 3 for a share. Winning sketch gets turned into a painting. Here is Kill Bill / Mentos. Refreshing Revenge. (8 of 15 go check em all out!)

Painting 302: #ramones / #happydays. I was lucky enough to get to CBGBs once before it closed. I saw Matt Pinfields band play with Weedeater, Unearthly Trance and Carrion. Wild show! #tenyearsoftwothangs

Painting 298: #taylorswift / #pitbulls. Had so much fun with these colors and the ethereal set up her album cover. Also, why do I capture the prettiness of Pit Bulls so well? 3 paintings and they're all so pretty. #tenyearsoftwothangs

Painting 297 #startrek / #dogs. Even this late in the game, I still have new things happen. This order was the first time I had an order for the exact same two thangs and I got to combine them in two drastically different ways. I think both are so fun. You gotta go back to 158 to see the other one.

Painting 295: #rodneydangerfield / #reddfox. It's the big one! Rodney was famous for walking around in his bathrobe with his nuts hanging out which I think is such a funny character trait. Of course Fred Sanford would get caught by it! #twigsandberries #eggsandsausage #tenyearsoftwothangs

Painting 293: #talkingheads / #neworleans. You know, if I count pieces of Nola (like food from Nola and Mardi Gras) I think it's in the 6 time club! That's wild for a place I've never taken Two Thangs to yet. Anyways, Louisiana folk love art and I love them! #tenyearsoftwothangs

Painting 292: #smurfs / #youngones. Looking back over my body of work, I'm pretty proud of how far I've come in adapting cartoon shapes into my style while retaining their identity. This was a great example of it. #tenyearsoftwothangs.

Painting 296: #absolutelyfabulous / #backtothefuture. That moment of awe after Marty just had his world rocked. Time travel has nothing on Patty. #tenyearsoftwothangs

Painting 291: #et / #backtothefuture. Typically, I like to destroy space. Have the background pop forward as much as the foreground with bright colors and let them play off each other. This is the most back I've ever pushed but it pops and I love that. #tenyearsoftwothangs
