" First, he illustrates an idea and then he cuts, sands and stains individual wood pieces by hand. Then, he starts building - from top to bottom - assembling the final pop art piece, sanding and staining the exposed edges. "The most challenging part of the process is figuring out the layering," he tells us. "The piece changes from the original sketch a little as I go because what works on paper doesn’t always work three dimensionally. I want everything to stack up in a way that makes sense so, even if most of a layer is hidden, the edges need to match the layer on top of it.
" From illustration to framing, one individual work of art can take McGee, on average, between 35 and 40 hours to complete. Olly Moss' Simpsons Movie Poster.
