Regarding my "Hula Girlz on Wallpaper" series of paintings:
They are painted on thick paper approximately 20 x 24 inches in size.
I use thick acrylic paints.
The paper is not wallpaper, I just painted the wallpaper design on the painting and then added the pictures (simulated photos perhaps) of the Hula Girlz on the wallpaper.
Each painting has a different "wallpaper" and different number of Hula Girlz on it.

I had some really 60´s looking wallpaper laying around and thought I would paint on it, but since the paper was so flimsy and I didn´t want to have collage-type art, I decided to paint my own wallpaper.

If you are in Portland, Oregon there are a couple in an exhibit at the Kaufman Studio:
