"When I was attending The Kansas City Art Institute, I spoke with a slow southern drawl. People would laugh at me when I spoke. So I started talking like I was educated, like everyone else. I did this for four years. Then when I came to San Francisco in 1966; one night at a party I too some Owsley acid, (LSD). The next day, my hillbilly accent was back and man, did I feel good."

"When I was growing up in Kentucky, we used to kill all our own meat. My job was to skin it. Since I always felt like I  was an artist, (since I was three)  it felt terrible that I had to throw away parts that were so beautiful."


"I thought about this for years, and finally got up the nerve to begin using these animal parts on my art - parts that others discarded as waste."

 

Whatever it's called; this psychedelic camouflage is beautiful. These unique pieces stand on display in Santa Cruz, California. Please call for a private showing.
