Jimi in Peace, Singleton Hippie Art Original

Jimi In Peace
(c) Singleton 2012

"I was dreaming
in crazy colors,
star spangled glorious colors,
and the music was
banging,
clanking,
clanging,
drifting,
and then....
everything was draped in Velvet,
heavy crushed velvet...
and
the Music was The Dream
...
Wild and wonderful....
Alive...

I saw him there...
behind the curtain...
behind the smokey haze....

And he was in Peace."

Watercolors, sharpies and markers on 11 x 15" Coldpress paper. A long time ago I hand sketched Jimi in Peace and my friend Jay, hand cut a stencil of that drawing... It's tattered now. Curled up on the edges. Old. This little poster was painted freehand with watercolors, and then I laid that little stencil baby down, and soaked it in watercolors, purple and blue hazy watercolors..... And it's a new dream:)
