Friends as Superheros

As an installation at Burning Man 2006, I painted a series of portraits of friends dressed as superheros. These images were painted on 3 x 6 plexiglass and then placed standing in a semi-circle.  This arrangement was to encourage people to walk amongst the superheros, a sort of hall of fame except any person, by virtue of standing amongst the superheros, becomes a superhero him or herself.
