Re-Animator…I went to my studio Sunday and couldn’t stop shivering otherwise I would have painted the guitar strings. By Monday I was full on sick took my temperature which was 103 so Robin broke out the Covid tester and it was a hard positive so I went back to bed and slept 36 hours and now I feel a little better. #zombies #keithrichards #mickjagger #reanimator #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrLw1fgr3uu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fentanyl Academy…several years ago my mother in law was prescribed fentanyl patches which came with big warnings to handle with gloves on and last week a big drug bust occurred and in the photo were bags of fentanyl pills in Easter egg colors so that’s some of the backstory to this painting #urbansurrealism #fentanyl #oilpainting #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrED4s_L3n4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bel air…she drinks beer while driving and enjoys the convenience of no parking zones so she’s just the kind of girl Woody P likes so he has to play it cool and pretend he doesn’t notice her #urbansurrealism #oilpainting #woodpecker #belair #chevrolet #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrBpzD_PT--/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

F**king Zombies…I have a couple shows coming up that require square format paintings so I’m just making them and will decide later which will go with each show. One of my favorite zombie movies is The Last Man on Earth from 1964 starring Vincent Price but this painting starring Danny Trejo aka Machete costarring the Big Bad Wolf is coming to theaters near you. #zombie #urbansurrealism #machete #dannytrejo #lowbrowpopsurrealists #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq8dc5upgVP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mummies…I need to do a few monochrome paintings for a show and generally I think in color so to adjust my mind I’m exploring mummy images #mummy #paintingprocess #monochrome #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq51jLSpdYv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Woodpeckers peck wood for several reasons but in the early Spring it’s all about finding a girl #woodpecker #woodpeckerart #urbansurrealism #lowbrowpopsurrealists #surrealism #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRN-ujPw_p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Detail of my latest painting there’s 31 woodpeckers in it and I’m uncertain how realistic to make them but my method is to cover the entire panel with the first level of oil paint then do a second level and so on versus do each element to perfection then move to the next #oilpainting #urbansurrealism #woodpeckers #wip #birdpainting #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN-UcnrfHJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m working on a very complex painting which is challenging my skill so I took a break and made something fun to loosen me up #expressionism #paintingmethods #surrealism #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqMASwHSg4M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Moth…I take Sundays off and spend the day doing my shipping cleaning laundry home repairs so by the time I arrive at my studio on Monday it feels like a vacation #dayoff #lowbrowpopsurrealists #pdxartist #portlandartist #moth #gregoryhergert (at Montavilla) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-oyCJJUox/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Not So Great Whites…I did this painting a few years ago and didn’t add the oil painting finish so I worked it the last few days and now it’s available on my website #greatwhiteshark #urbansurrealism #beavisandbutthead #jaws #lowbrowpopsurrealists #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5XaQmLmcj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fly Agency… I want thank everyone who came to my show Wharf Noir and all the people who purchased my art. I took Sunday off and got caught up on my shipping and home repairs then it was back to the studio on Monday. But what to make so I started with escape the laboratory but too controversial so I moved on and drew flys not literally but artistically #drawing #flys #urbansurrealism #flyagency #surrealism #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpxu0cap_BB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
