Continuing the trip down memory lane, i thought i'd post the peices showed at ConFurence V (Jan 21-23, '94)... i brought five pieces, - four for sale. This was the one that wasn't for sale.
It was sort of how i felt about the balance of sorrow with the happiness - of time moving on...The frame-pattern behind her is an abstract skull and she's holding up this acorn of promise...And she's not worried about the natural cycle of the seasons - that's how life *lives*.
It's from around 1992, happily married after another crashed romance or two with a two year old boy, while working at Hanna-Barbera and living in Tarzana. It's been on my living room(s) wall(s) since then. i took it down a couple years ago to scan and saw it had faded quite badly (fitting in a way),
so the colours in this have been carefully restored. The pale outline is my attempt to represent the gold leaf ink, which was quite bright and metallic -
like foil.

Thank you !
As i explained in the text it was - is - a very personal piece
- me singing along with life on this strange cycle of
birth and death. i think the squirrel was cartoon style 'cuz
i was working at Hanna-Barbera studios at the time...
i don't try to figure-out what i'm doing while i'm doing it,
and what i think later is just what i think...
If you like it - make it what you want it to mean for you.

Thanks !
i think Mucha and Gaughan (who were friends, with seemingly different styles) are my two favorite artists, or maybe
influential artists. Roots i grow from into something different...
Remember that cover you did for The Ever-Changing Palace Issue Six ?
Alicia meets Mucha, via your own style...Soooo beautiful....sigh...
i'm surprised you haven't posted that here.
If you don't have the original art anymore i could scan my copy and
make it look a bit like the original...
jeeez, so old and still a fan boi....

Common influence of Art Nouveau god Alphonse Mucha.
Hippies rediscovered Art Nouveau in the nostalgia-for-a=better-age phase, ended-up on many concert posters. Mouse-Kelley / Rick Griffin used the style, as well as Roger Dean, Rodney Matthews, Barry Smith, Micheal Kaluta, etc etc.
i'm a musician too (i gather from looking at your page you are) - but i would be frikkin intimidated to do an album with this as a cover
(unless it was in the late 60s) - Pretty songs about love and death, letting it all go with age...i guess some of the boomers will get there...maybe leonard cohen or david sylvian ....but with a slightly sexy cartoon? nah - will prolly be too "Serious"...
