Blob painting started with Tom making a Lego machine that printed using eight colors from a small digital file where each pixel was printed on a canvas by melting oil pastels on hot metal. In time Tom discovered nine special colors that could represent full color. All nine colors could be found in all color areas some in a major role and others in supporting roles. The technique was developed by distilling an image either color or black and white into nine separate colors. Each color playing a tone and hue role.
Portraits have been about half of works completed in the blob technique.

Painted in a radically different impressionist manner using carefully crafted colors. The colors are applied in a watercolor manner using tinted Dammar varnish. Not only does it smell great it looks beautiful with a very high gloss finish. The manner, derived from Tom’s painting Lego robot, works with six colors so to simulate 4-color you have to carefully select them. You have see the original to fully appreciate it.
