I’ve been wrestling I’ve been struggling through this little series of drawings this movement of drawings of walking man negotiating the burning bush encountering the burning bush coming up against it fearing it embracing it now its taken root in his chest #theburningbush My friend Matt and @muleresonatorguitars is celebrating their 1000th resonator guitar, and this is in addition to hundreds of other instruments in their lineup.  Matt invited me, many years ago now, to design the certificate of authenticity for these guitars.  To celebrate the 1000th resonator, Matt asked me to create a new certificate, which is what is pictured here.  There are so many things I love about Matt and what he does.  I think his greatest gift beyond yet through the instruments themselves (I have one and I know) is how he stewards creativity, which is a force of life and love, in those with whom he comes into contact and by effect into the wide world.  It is a really big deal.  Please congratulate him with me on this big milestone in his journey!  #muleresonator https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpnh97XpPGG/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiAcl7LevU/ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpd3_4VrGJm/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CpKs81pLiEf/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpH4lnJAlkb/ “And I said, I have looked, and behold a lamp stand all of gold with a bowl upon the top of it, and it’s seven lamps on it and his seven spouts on it… and also two olive trees by it…” Zechariah 4:2 Carving Everything #printmaking

No Man Sees

Mikey, here is the photo of Moses which you requested.  I did my best, for it is a tricky painting to photograph.

 

The Mighty Acts:

Walking Man’s hands, head, axe and walking stick are most recent.
