Last Sunday's giveaway was so much fun I thought we'd do it again. This week's ACEO is very new, and created out of music's inspiration. As before, simply leave a comment to enter the drawing. I will pull a name from my hat on Wednesday and notify the winner and request a mailing address to which this is to be mailed.
This little guy came into my head whilst listening to
Rory Campbell's CD,
"Intrepid". I thought (hoped) it was an original idea, but it's not... I've found a couple of versions of Kokopelli with bagpipes online. None were consistent in style, though - while Kokopelli was done in the traditional manner, his pipes were shown with a great deal more detail, and in some cases accented with extra color to show even more detail. To me, I thought the instrument should be represented as primitively as the character. Here that concept is carried even further by placing him as a pictograph amongst others on a rock face flecked with mica. This has been created on heavy watercolor paper with acrylics and colored pencil, and is signed on the front and details provided on the back.
When I showed this on Facebook, one friend immediately dubbed him Koko MacPelli. Michael, that was just too good not to keep! This was fun, and I will likely try Koko MacPelli on a t-shirt later on. But for now, the original little ACEO painting will soon go to one lucky person on Wednesday.
