Tom Blood Art - The Idea Painter - surreal and pop art that's both whimsical and wonderful!

I'm Tom Blood, a self-taught, modern day surrealist and pop artist who paints whimsical and thought provoking work that will make you think and probably bring a smile to your face. I paint ideas. With my work, you can always tell what's going on, you just don't necessarily know why. My work has sold on five continents and I have amassed almost 2 million views of my work online. I began painting in 1989 and in the early 90's had multiple gallery shows here in the St. Louis metro area (USA). I then had an almost 17-year layoff as job responsibilities and family life took precedence. Twelve years ago on Father's Day, my oldest son gave me two small canvasses and said, "You're too good not to paint. Paint again!" And so I did, starting off with smaller canvasses but then working back up to larger works. I have since had several solo gallery show and my work is seen around the world. To me, painting is a journey and I invite you to come along for the ride.
