Originally I titled this painting “The Tire.”
I have found myself referring to it as “The Tire Flip,” and also “Tire Flip.”
So I guess it has multiple tire tittles.

This painting is inspired by the sport of Strong Man.
I really enjoy watching strong man competitions if the competitors are of a high caliber.
To create this painting I asked a national tire flip champion to pose for me.
Posing for a painting like this entails him flipping tires and me getting in front of the giant tire and walking backwards as he flips it towards me.
I took a ton of pictures without tripping and being crushed.
(seriously thought it could happen)
This painting is acrylic on stretched canvas.
I put this on a couple print on demand sites just because I personally liked it and wanted to show it it off.
I had no thought of actually selling any prints because strong man is not a hugely followed sport, but I actually did sell a few.
Guess there are other people out there who enjoy strong man and the the tire flip enough to think it makes for some good wall art.
