Some Cool Art
« on: February 24, 2008, 07:09:47 AM »
I met John Pitre in Y2k. I'd been a fan of his art for a long time. I told him that I'd copied some of his paintings & would love to be his apprentice & he gave me his blessings & invited me to go out to dinner sometime but he was always too busy I guess. I lived right down the street from him for awhile in Honolulu. Anyway, it's the thought that counts. He seems like a great guy.

I'll post some of my copies of his work soon....& some of my original art too.

I love Sci fi illustration. when I worked in downtown chicago, there was a gallery that specialized in original painting like that of the frazatta brothers?

Do I detect some Hindu influence, Sri R'n'B?

Where's the elephant god, symbol of male virility?  ;)
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Ganesh worships this lion headed form of Sri Vishnu. =]

This painting's almost done, then I'll be doing portraits of Anoushka Shankar & Loreena McKennitt.
I'll post 'em here!!
