U2 Paintings for Sale – Achtoon Baby Art from @U2
I began illustrating and writing the Achtoon Baby cartoons for @U2 back in December 2002, when the site’s staff selected me to be @U2′s cartoonist following a talent search. I truly had no idea what I was getting myself into! What began as a once-a-month single panel cartoon about U2 quickly evolved into multi-page watercolor epics about the band. My cat even got involved. It was a lot of work, but it was also a lot of fun, and I received an incredible amount of praise whenever I posted a new cartoon. After seven years, I decided that I could no longer devote untold hours to painting the same four men over and over again and was left with a file cabinet full of little U2 paintings. I’m happy to sell them to anyone who wants them now!

Edge/Bono - Bullfight
Watercolor
5" x 6.5"
Price: $150
Don't you miss the days when Bono and Edge staged those weird little bullfights during "Until the End of the World?" I believe I paused their Mexico City video and took a photo of my TV to get reference material.
Adam/Bono Zooropa
Watercolor
6" x 10.5"
Price: $150
I hate to boast, but this painting kicks ass. I think I really captured Adam's cool amusement and Bono's insanity here.
Blue Pop Bono
Watercolor
8.5" x 8"
SOLD
Ultramarine blue Bono glares and blows smoke at you. What more could you want?
Edge: Blue Background
Watercolor
6" x 6"
SOLD
Thank You!
Early Edge with mysterious background shapes: a sentimental favorite of mine. I showed it to one of my former professors, who was unfamiliar with U2, and he said, "Now there's a nice head." So it's got that going for it!
Larry Paint-by-Number
Acrylic
12" x 9"
Price: $50
This is just a complete goof, but maybe unicorns are your thing! It's an actual acrylic paint-by-number that I customized to include Larry, as part of my "U2 in Bad Taste" cartoon.
Pasta/Seeds Adam
Pasta, seeds and glue on cardboard
9" x 8"
Price: $75
Also from the "U2 in Bad Taste" extravaganza, this seed and pasta portrait of early-days Adam is the epitome of class.
Edge: Pencil 1
Watercolor
8.5" x 6"
SOLD
Thank You!
Sometimes you just want a drawing of the Edge. Pencil on white paper with beanie, goatee, and smart-looking eyes all included in the deal.
Adam: Pencil 1
Pencil
9.5" x 5"
Price: $50
We all prefer Adam with the white hair, yes? Pencil drawing, very posh indeed.
Bono: Pencil 1
Pencil
11" x 5.5"
SOLD
Pencil drawing of late-00s Bono, employing his patented NEUG (neck-enhancing upward gaze).
