Back in 2009 when researching this painting, I had the mental image of being able to peel off Nicolas Cage like a Colorform and stick him on a new background. And so The Nicolas Cage Adventure Set was born. (Weirdly, it was a tweet from Roger Ebert about the Adventure Set that led to my getting a literary agent, and eventually, The Astonishing World of Art.)





Shown above is the original set ("castle" and "tropical island" backdrops, with battle axe, skateboard, parrot, space helmet, and scary ghost accessories) which is no longer available, but I have since made an all-new 2014 set which you can purchase right here:
