Welcome friends,
My name is Goonie. I was originally born in Astoria, Oregon where the 1980's cult classic " The Goonies" was filmed. Now, I'm Maine’s resident neo-pop artist.
Backstory: I'm a reformed career criminal and alcoholic/drug addict, celebrating over a decade of recovery. Basically, if chaos were a person, it used to be me. Now it’s just my art. All kidding aside, I'm really proud of the life I've made for myself, all that I've accomplished, and the man that I am today. I would have never accomplished any of these things had I not sought out recovery and taken the steps to leave my old life behind.
I paint because it’s less awkward than interpretive dance and selling feet pics online. Trust me, nobody is buying pictures of these quasimo-toes. My art has been described as “eye-popping,” “chaotic genius,” and once by my mom as “nice, but could you paint something normal, like a lighthouse?”
Professionally, my style mixes graffiti, neo-pop, and contemporary street art. Unprofessionally, my style reflects the exact amount of chaos you’d expect from someone raised on Saturday morning cartoons, Pizza Hut, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Xbox.
When I’m not creating fractured portraits that make your eyeballs sweat- I'm usually losing arguments with seagulls, Googling “how to get paint out of clothes,” or trying to convince strangers at Hannaford that I’m famous; all while explaining to my family that yes, this is a real career.
Not to brag, but I've created work for Billie Eillish, Jack Osbourne, Bam Margera, A$AP Rocky, Morris Hayes, Tom MacDonald, Logic, Lita Ford, Microsoft & Converse. Totally kidding, I'm definitely bragging. My head's so big I floated it through last years Macy's Day Parade.
Thanks for stopping by!
Goonie
