ABOUT THE PIECE: Original painting poster print. From the NAROw 2012 Collection ©.---------------------Decked in checks, Sophi stands over pink smears and graphy grids, proud and pensive as a pool-side billionaire pondering a San Simeon sunset.--------------------------------MEDIUM: Spray paint, acrylics, aged house paint mixed with Mod-podge on a second-hand melamine.-------------------------------SIZE MATTERS: Original painting is 29" wide by 37" tall.

We live and create in the beautiful state of Oregon, USA, are self taught and passionate about using anything on hand, NOW, to create beauty from moments: capturing emotion as images. Working with four hands prevents any one mind from asserting specific intention... these are brave works of impulse, improvisation, collaboration and ultimately love.-------------------------------INFLUENCES: Basquiat, Michael Landon, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Henry Kapono Wolfsheim, Thích Nhất Hạnh, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Henry Ford, Martin Clunes, Steely Dan, Danny Elfman, Meryl Streep, Van Gogh, Maria Montessori, Johnny Carson, Wavy Gravy, Fred Rogers, The International Silver String Submarine Band, Klaus Nomi and Alister (fartist / fartographer from outer space).-------------------------------------"ONE man, ONE woman, one dusty workshop spilling over with rattle-cans, utility knives, aged house-paint and plastic bristle kindergarten brushes. No time for study, no time for doubt just paint and paint and sounds and scrapes, colors boldly applied on back alley plywood finds. These are the works of our HEART. No piece is complete until we LOVE it and when we love it we bring it to YOU. "
