This is another slate from the 1994 batch that changed many times over the years. It will not change anymore since I sold it in February 2010. Plus I think it is a good piece entitled "Life is for the Birds", acrylic on slate 13" x 8".

I began the "Birdman" series in 1991 when I ran the Space Gallery on Grandriver Ave., Downtown Detroit across from the old Hudsons building before it was torn down. It was painted in oil on a kitchen door and was sold out of the Zeitgeist Gallery in 1999.

The "Birdman" is an alter ego that I recently rebirthed and is daily emerging from the studio full grown and complete. The bird figure is a symbol of freedom to me and birds are appearing more and more in my paintings recently. Stay tooned.
