“[Mark adds,] “it always smacked of failure to me. I wanted to have 5,000 screens made. But what would I have done with them? It turns out I didn’t need them, a little celebrity face goes a long way.” At the time, Mark could only afford to make a small number of screens, but these he used again and again, in the Protest Signs from 1992, in the paintings exhibited in the 1993 Los Angeles show Trophy Paintings at Zero One Gallery, in overpainting the Klonos Derivatives, and numerous other works made during this period.”

Dynasty is an example of such an artwork. It was one of the works originally shown in Trophy Paintings, and it is also an example of Flood’s use of the Face Index screens to overpaint a Klonos painting; in this case, Mark was commissioned (as John Klonos) to paint large-scale portraits of Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne in a Warhol style on Accord (a polypropylene fabric used to cover speakers). The underpainting for Dynasty is of Marilyn Monroe, on top of which Mark added other portraits: Johnny Carson, Humphrey Bogart, Jason Bateman, Michael J. Fox, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Captain Kangaroo, among others. The original media clipping for each of these are clearly visible in Face Index.
