Projects: Covers for Marvel, always continuing the " American Beauties" pinup series, and every year Greg Hildebrandt and Spiderweb Art Gallery work with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on their Winter Tour Program and Merchandise.
Location: Hopatcong, NJIn 2013, Greg Hildebrandt began a series of paintings titled, &lsquo Kid Stuff&rsquo , which features a collection of his favorite worn out childhood toys. Each painting depicts a different character and a different mood, all of which are painted at giant sizes. These gorgeous, photorealistic oversized heads have been catching viewer&rsquo s eyes&mdash and imaginations&mdash ever since. This puppet painting, called &rsquo Freckles&rsquo , contains the warmest color palette Greg has used thus far, but is perhaps one of the most unnerving in the series. The eyes stare off to a place we cannot see, and the viewer cannot help but wonder if those cracks in his cheeks are not actually an ominous smile&hellip This is the fifth piece in the " Kid Stuff" series.
