Can Art by Mydogsighs
Grace Jones Live 1979
We have a couple of chalkboard walls in our house. I’ve been playing around with just using wet & dry fingers to make images. I tried to do a portrait of Frida from memory but it didn’t really come out. I’m still figuring it out it’s a FUN medium if nothing else.
Great and Mighty Artist of the Day:
Simon Sparrow
Born West Africa, c. 1925; died Madison, Wisconsin, 2000Simon Sparrow spent his first two years among the Yoruba in West Africa and the next decade on a Cherokee reservation in North Carolina. His travels as an adult are somewhat obscure, but he lived some years in Philadelphia and later in New York, working as a house painter, singer, and cook. Sometime after 1968 he moved with his wife and children to Madison, Wisconsin, and lived there for the rest of his life.
Sparrow began painting in the 1960s, but it was not until the mid-1980’s that he began to create the grand scale and complex assemblages for which he is best known. For Sparrow, faces and figures in his compositions depict spirits, essences of people who lived long ago and images that came to him from God. Sparrow showed his works in public spaces in Madison and preached to people about their spiritual messages, thus allowing his assemblages to reach the art world’s notice.
