Allegorical Gameboard Art
Bubblegum Trouble is an artwork inspired by the retro boardgame Trouble that I used to play a lot as a kid. It’s a westernized version of Parcheesi. The bubblegum motif was something that’s been on my mind and I think came together nicely in the overall design. You have sticks, packs, sleeves, dispensers, gumballs, and blobs, if you will.
For this piece I used matte acrylic paint by Golden Artist Colors.
Backgammon is one of my all-time favorite board games and I’ve had the idea to paint a custom board for awhile. Introducing Goosegammon, using the classic Game of the Goose spiral design in the center.

I called this one Simon’s Checkers because the retro game Simon inspired the color palette. I wanted to work in these 4 colors but instead of black as a dividing color, I used browns.
As you can see in the development pictures below, I originally painted in a variety of shapes. But as I end up doing with most of my artworks, I end up simplifying.
