this is not art but there is new life at funky's! enjoy
Hello all!
I created this peice for a variety of reasons. I'm entering this as a submission for the "2nd Art Race" regarding "Rock And Roll" influenced art and music. The music is an original piece I composed entirely in my own studio (thank God for Les Paul and his invention of the multitrack overdub process!!).
"The Cloedecrist Phoenix" is a sculpture I hope to create very soon. As you're probably aware, the legendary Phoenix is a bird which is burnt and rises from the ashes to live a new life again. This is a significant personal statement in my life right now as I've crashed and burned in this freaking economy. At just over the half-century mark... I'm hoping that I'll be able to rise from the ashes of my past, and experience a bright new vibrant life as an artist (in the mean time... anyone know of any jobs out there for a happening marketing expert?!?!?).
The sculpture will stand approximately 4 tall, and will be just over 7' long. It will encorporate wood, paper, glass and metal pieces, as well as a few "found" objects I have laying around in it's construction!
Also, this is my first foray into animation (well, I suppose actually my second since I posted a "test run" the other night!).
I can't wait to get started on the sculpture.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!
All the best,
Your faithful cyberbuddy,
Craigo

Artist RB McGrath takes viewers on a journey through the creation of A Portrait of Salvatore Moltisanti. From a graphite drawing on a 4 x 4 foot canvas through the miriad of layers, to the completion of the full painting in oil, this series of stills gives insight into McGrath's process. The Model: Salvatore Moltisanti - Italian Superstar and Classical Pianist and President and Founder of the IBLA Grand Prize in Regussa, Italy and New York City. The painting took six months to create and was unveiled for the Maestro himself following the IBLA Grand Prize Winners performance in Jacksonville, Arkansas on May 3rd, 2009. Scheduled to be shipped in late May, the Portrait will have a second unveiling in New York City where it will hang at the IBLA Foundation Headquarters in the Collection of Moltisanti.
