Fantastic original color painting by noted artist Bryn Barnard, entitled 'Tanked,' accomplished in acrylic on a 22.75 x 22.75 sheet of artist board. The painting depicts the famed 'one-eyed, one-horned, flying, purple people eater' alien getting gas for his hovering 'People Eater' vehicle, with the two wary Mobilgas attendants wiping the windshield and pumping gasoline. Signed in the lower right by Barnard, who dates the painting to 1990. Framed without glass to a slightly larger size; frame backing bears an affixed 'Bryn Barnard Illustration' label. In fine condition. This painting was used as artwork for the front cover of the Time Life Music ?compilation album The Rock 'N' Roll Era—Weird, Wild & Wacky. A delightful fusion of science fiction and Americana, with a special nod to Sheb Wooley’s 1958 hit single, ‘Purple People Eater.’Format: Oil Painting
