Aux Armes

A small portrait on glass of legendary

Jamaican Dee-Jay, Big Youth.

This was painted as a wedding present

for some friends who tied the knot a couple years ago.

Right on time.

While dropping the painting off in Ventura,

I got to see them as parents for the first time.

The paintings on glass are done on the reverse side

and are also painted in "reverse". . .

Starting with shadows and highlights -

or in this case, grey whiskers -

and finishing with the background.

Here's a brief live clip. . .

Performing "Z-90 Skank"

KILLERRRRRR.
