When my wife Talia and I were planning our wedding, one of the ideas we'd had was for me to do one of my typical science fiction images for the invitations, a portrait of an alien couple being married. The idea was abandoned for a better one, but a year later I did this painting for her as an anniversary present. The couple isn't just a random pair of aliens, they're also caricatures of Talia and myself, dressed as we were on our wedding day. This piece was my first really large work not done digitally. I did a color mockup of it in Photoshop first, but then painted the entire thing in watercolors.
Yes, I really did wear a floral-print cummerbund and bowtie on my wedding day. I also had a matching floral yarmulke, too... They both went well with the steel drum music! Painted in watercolors on 300lb hot-press watercolor paper. ~16 x 16 inches.
