Mind blown! One of my favorite stories at Venice o

Mind blown! One of my favorite stories at Venice of all time.
A lovely couple was enjoying my booth. I was telling my stories about the art. I noticed how happy they were and especially the guy. I began to explain to him how fun it would be to feel like he did and enjoy my work as he did.
Like seeing it for the first time, not as the producer and builder of it. I enjoy them when finished and while making them. But it would be nice to experience it like the way he saw it. Fresh! Anyway I wanted to show him more because he loves my work. Sometimes I’ll just hand patrons pieces on my side of the booth they can’t see.
I hand him “A-Muse” my roller coaster girl piece. And his lady goes…
“Looks like your album cover” … to her man. I hear tons of comments out there that this reminds them of something. Or can you do this painting but with my face? Anyway while I watch him notice many details of the painting and enjoy it. She goes this Is Imani from the Pharcyde. And he looks at me and shows me his forearm with the Pharcyde tattooed along it. Well my jaw hit the floor. My hair blew back and my mind shot straight out of my head and was starring down at me like it was waiting until I needed it again. The Pharcyde BIZARRERIDE is by far one of the greatest works of art In sound, visual, and emotional storytelling ever created. Basically I was standing in front of and just handed the man 20 some years later my art that was completely inspired by his. My painting A-Muse is basically a different version of one of his album covers. And my all time favorite! Words cannot explain what happened next. And I don’t get fanboy’d out ever. But I handed the guy my art that his work basically inspired me to make. It was so serendipitous. And soo perfect the way it happened. He asked to buy it and I said no way. That is yours. Thank you for your work! My $15 cd lasted me 10 years of joy! And the painting I painted was 10 years after that! Words cannot describe how rewarding that moment is. Props to his lady for telling me who he is. I didn’t know! Thank you Imani for endless blessings. My turn to giveback to a legendary artist! @imani_can

A badass is all about learning, working, failing, committing, growing, patience, what’s at stake, things you can’t change, and dying like you lived. And so much more so, you left enough for others to tell the tale. This is my homage to that. I Brought this piece in the public for a test drive. Someone walked away with an A/P on the first day, first showing. I like it when a plan comes together. This is #19 super almost finished Ha! #almostfinished #neverdone #alwaystrying #alwaysbuildingthedream #dieliving
