Its my love of the carniceria store paintings. I've always had a fascination with them ever since I was a little kid. Seeing these somewhat surreal and fanciful paintings depicting the foods that I would be eating later that day. Taco stands, bars and restaurants will make their way on this site as well. This is my tribute to those paintings and the artists that made them. Bon apetit!

Hi Tony,
Unfortunately I didn't make it to the gallery, but thanks for uploading a large scan of this awesome painting. You should do a whole series of "mural-inspired" paintings!
The wolf's left hand is perfect!
Ha ha! Perfect in what way? I don't know what your talking about.....
When I look at this painting, my eye always keeps coming back to that left hand. It's just so round and cartoony and in an interesting hanging pose -it's exactly how it should look, and is therefore perfect!
The wolf in general reminds me of the wolf Jim Tyer drew in that Mighty Mouse cartoon "Mother Goose's Birthday Party." Have you seen that one? Rubbery cartoon fun.
Yeah Tony, Great work! Such a great idea for the murals. I always loved it when you see the pig frying up bacon or the cow chopping meat! EWWwww...hahaaa..
