An Exquisite Corpse @ Old Crow Tattoo + Gallery

2011-03-14T09:45:00.000-07:00

This is a late post for the opening reception, you can still see the show "STAND TALL" at The Old Crow Tattoo and Gallery in Oakland. Stop by if you are in Oakland and check out the show.

I was Honored to have been asked by John Casey to collaborate with Oakland artists Obi Kaufmann and Nathaniel Parsons on this project. The wood panels are 24" x 36" in size and two sided. (a figure on each side)

John Casey took this photo of the first time any of us saw it completed and together, Front and Back. (top John Casey, Obi Kaufmann, Nathaniel Parsons and my submissions)

My "feet" for the front standing version.

My "head" for the second side completing the very Exquisite Corpse.

新年快樂！

This drawing was doing for John Casey as a gift for his lovely wife Mary.
She has a fondness for the Alice in wonderland characters so this is what I came up with.

sometimes

sometimes you feel an energy ... maybe some would call it a 'muse'

when you feel in your heart to make or more then you normally feel in your head

you feel happy to have the muse with you ... you do not ask too many questions or why this muse happens

feeling everyday is better as the muse makes special things come out of you

grateful and blessed for the muse to come

not asking where it has been or when it will go ... only feeling the light feeling of dreams it gives

sometimes you never know.
