Photo Description: Gumby is painted standing on top of a book in water, in similar style to The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli. Prickle, his yellow dinosaur friend, stands on the shore and holds a red cloth out to Gumby, taking the place of the “Hora of Spring”. Goo, a female blue clay blob, holds Pokey, an orange horse, in the places of “Aura” and “Zephyr”. Pokey wears a blue cloth and pink flowers float around him.
The Birth of Gumby
Over 20 hours went into turning the Gumby crew into The Birth of Venus, and I don’t regret a second of it. Done live in multiple streams on Kabillion’s Twitch channel, fans endlessly enjoyed being able to watch the process of Gumby and his friends being turned into classical art. This painting is still very popular, particularly among Gumby fans. Done in acrylic paint in 2020.
