This beauty was made in 3 days. Quicker than those Jesus believers think he made the world. Any who, my friend Greg asked if I would paint his Hannah Montana acoustic guitar. He ended up moving out of Chicago into Denver. When I took a vacation to Denver for 2 and a half weeks Greg asked one more time if I would paint this piece of shit Hannah Montana guitar. So, with all the time in the world on my hands I began this project with gesso. I looked up a few Grateful Dead skulls and other symbols to get a few ideas rolling in the noggin. I drew out the skull with a ball point pen and then began this journey into the unknown rainbow.
The epic journey begins with a skull and ends with abstract visions of color. I tossed in a few quotes from my favorite Grateful Dead songs like "Truckin'" and "Fire, fire on the mountain". I really felt proud of this god damn piece when I was done. I put my soul into this creation. I had a vision and ran with it into the mountains. Literally, I painted mountains onto the guitar along with a rainbow and a mushroom with an eyeball in the stem. Embrace the creative flow. Thanks for appreciating. |
