Being a Gen X kid, I often think about all the things I thought were going to kill me as a kid, such as spontaneous human combustion and quicksand, as well as things that probably could or should have killed me, such as jumping my bike and lawn darts.

I also collected baseball, Star Wars, and other cards as a kid, so I created this set of 30 cards. I even wrote things on the back like the old cards. This might be the most popular painting I’ve ever done.

And please tell me you remember the movie Faces of Death.

Gouache, colored pencil, and Posca on paper for the cards and acrylic on wood for the background. Measures 18” x 24”.
