MUSICAL INSPIRATION

Much of the inspiration for my fantasy art is rooted in music and lyrics. The androgenous theatrical pop/rock music of the 1970's was a major influence on my work. The disguised poetic lyrics of artists like David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Roxy Music, provided plenty of stimulation for an eccentric imagination.

The work featured above, simply titled "PINK" by Parker Kaufman is a cardstock and computer enhanced images composition, 8.5 x 11 in. The piece was influenced by the music and lyrics to "We Are The Dead" by David Bowie from the Diamond Dogs album. Follow the link below to hear the song.
