I enjoy evoking the viewer’s nostalgic feelings of one’s childhood, be that in comic books, games we played, or our comfort foods.

A combination of pop art, photography and textural paint strokes, Doug Bloodworth’s work was born from boyhood inspirations and has grown into the refined craft of photorealism. In 1974, Doug earned a degree in Commercial Arts and went on during the early stages of his career to work in several genres of the art world. From painting caricatures to billboards, Doug’s pursuits steered him towards the mastery of fine art techniques and a working mentorship with Marv Gunderson, the exclusive artist for the Marlboro brand. Painting iconic works on billboards all over the country was a highlight early on in his career and he still draws from the inspiration and lessons learned during the tour.
