"Dirty Martini" by Brian K Raynor



I had my first martini in Las Vegas at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino. It was dirty - the martini. I don't like mine dirty - my martini.

I sold "Dirty Martini" to,... the most cheerful woman I've ever met at Puckett's Farm Equipment. Now I can't remember her name. Not remembering has nothing to do with a martini.

"Remember the Fallen" by Brian K Raynor



Another Memorial Day approaches.
A time to remember the fallen.
I painted "Remember the Fallen"
in honor of those who risk their lives in service and
and in memory of those who sacrificed their lives
for the freedom that we share in these
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

God Bless our Soldiers!
God Bless the USA !!

"Cherry Cherry" by Brian K Raynor



Whenever I see or eat Bing Cherries it reminds me of my first trip to NYC a few years ago. It was summer and Bing Cherries were at every market.

I Sold "Cherry Cherry" last year to Chellie from Concord.

"Vintage Punk" by Brian K Raynor



I painted "Vintage Punk' several years ago. Used to hang at On Common Grounds Coffee House and Cyber Cafe in Concord, NC until they closed. I sold it last year at the Rockabilly BBQ to a cutie from VA (?). Hooliganism at it's best. Rebellion with a greasy pomp and a blade.

"Decomposing Mary" by Brian K Raynor



"Decomposing Mary" was originally a drawing I did to fax to a coworker to make sure their fax was working properly. "This is a test,... THIS is Decomposing Mary".

"Vinyl Thoughts" by Brian K Raynor


A new painting. Hope to have at least 25 new works ready for June 6th.
"Vinyl Thoughts" in celebration of the growing trend for new music to be released on vinyl. According to Nielsen SoundScan CD sales have been on the decline and vinyl is on the rise. I'm sure it is a hipster thing - taking something old and making it new and cool.

"Hank" by Brian K Raynor



I started "Hank" three or four years ago. He was trouble from the start. Every Spring I bring him out to add something to him. Then I get discouraged or bored or angry with him and put him away. This year I took him out and told him I was tired of him and that he was going to be finished this Spring regardless of the outcome. So here he is, "Hank". A FOLK ART tribute to my favorite Country Music Legend, Hank Williams. Hoping he will sell at the 6th Annual Rockabilly BBQ on June 6th at Pucketts in Charlotte.

"Bottoms Up!" By Brian K Raynor


Sold this painting to Cindy in Charlotte at the Rockabilly BBQ a couple years ago. Got the idea from an advertisement from the 1920's. The 1920's bathing suit covered much more skin!
