Welcome Home

Welcome Home

Skunk-Truck realized that his real home is not a place; it’s a bushy-tailed red fox. He returns to the spot where he first met Lucy hoping fate will bring them together again.After Lucy lost her family, she swore she would never care for anyone ever again. But she missed Skunk-Truck terribly, so she headed back to the spot where they first met to reminisce about happier times. In the grassy meadow where they played endless games of Moon-Tag they find each other, never to be parted again.

Shattered Dreams

Shattered Dreams

Their unlikely friendship comes to an end when Lucy finds the perfect home for Skunk-Truck. Lucy returns to her life as an independent fox, and Skunk-Truck is now living in a loving home. Everything is exactly as it should be, but every time they close their eyes, all they see is the world failing apart around them. If they are truly happy, why are they haunted by nightmares?

The Great Honey Incident

The Great Honey Incident

When Lucy discovers Skunk-Truck has never tasted honey the two friends spend the day looking for a small bite of the sweet treat. They come across a greedy bear who has stolen a huge vat of honey from some hardworking bees, naturally Lucy steals back the stolen honey. The furious bear chases them through the woods. He manages to catch Lucy by the tail, but before he can harm her Skunk-Truck blasts the bear with his potent gas. Distracted by the noxious fumes, the bear releases Lucy and they escape with the honey.

Let’s Play Moon-Tag

Let’s Play Moon-Tag

Skunk-Truck fears his end is near when a reluctant Lucy rescues him. Pitying the nearly sightless skunk, Lucy agrees to help him find a safe home. The two new friends are different in every way possible, except for one. They both love playing Moon-Tag. With Lucy’s super speed and Skunk-Truck’s heightened sense of smell, their games would last until dawn.

Lucy the Fleet Footed Fox

Ever since hunters captured Lucy’s entire family she has wandered the forest alone. Heartbroken, she uses her super speed to avoid all creatures, friend or foe… that is; unless they have a tasty treat she can steal.

Meet Skunk-Truck

Meet Skunk-Truck

Poor Skunk-Truck was born almost completely blind. But that doesn’t get in the way of his love for adventure. It does, however, cause this furry black and white dynamo to inadvertently destroy everything he touches. Knowing his natural ability for disaster, the Skunk community banished him from their village. Skunk-Truck now spends his days searching for his forever home.

Skunk-Truck & Lucy - ONLINE!

Because a lot of people won't be able to check out my Skunk-Truck & Lucy exhibition, I've decided that I'm going to put the whole show up online. I'm going to post 1 image along with it's story over the next 6 days, so come back often :) Obviously it's not gonna look as good as it does in person and you won't get the full effect of standing in it's glory, but It will still be pretty sweet.

Skunk-Truck & Lucy
Exhibition Dates May 15 - August 11, 2017

A three month special showing of: Skunk-Truck & Lucy. This whimsical show features Donny Foley’s latest series of large scale Word Paintings. Each painting depicts a single story, but together they create one giant story, the tale of Skunk-Tuck & Lucy.

Word Paintings seamlessly combines two of Donny Foley’s favorite forms of creative narrative: story telling and painting. The creation of each piece starts with a painted focal point. Then, the background is formed by hand lettering a story in which the entire painting is based upon. When viewed from a distance a Word Painting is meant to convey a cheery anecdote, but on closer inspection the viewer can see the complex nature of a seemingly simplistic image.
