So I painted a bunch of Bonos, and then they started talking to me. Sorta. New Achtoon Baby: The Fake Bono Interview!

With paintings based on reference photos by @iinchicore ⭐️ Remy from U2Start ⭐️ Pradip Patel. Big thanks!

Larry’s Arms, a 12″x9″ watercolor by me, based on reference photo by @iinchicore. From this!

I saturated the colors in this one like crazy and invented the smoke. I just really loved the way Inchy captured this man’s quiet toughness here, and yes, I absolutely had to paint his little immunization scar. :)

Rainbow Edge, an 10″x8″ watercolor by me from this.

I thought the colors in the reference photo by @sethckal on IG were astonishing, and this is probably my favorite of the seven I painted. It certainly was one of the easiest, but Edge is always the easiest. The blue/pink/orange/lilac shadows on his face were almost psychedelic, and he’s got his Zen master game face on. My favorite part is the blur I made on his chin--so oddly satisfying.

Prints of this painting are available here, and you can find other U2 prints by me here.

Sorry I haven’t been around much this week. The new Achtoon has taken over my life, and I’m still working on it. It’s a sort of children’s book about what it’s like to love a band. Autobiographical with me as a zebra! Everyone is some kind of animal. I’m so excited about it and wanted to show you the first page. ❤️

U2 Tumblr fam! I need extras for my cartoon! It's about the GA experience. Please send me photos of you doing any of these. The pics can just be you at home, no actual show attendance required. Thanks!
