Hello Friends, is the title of a song by a high school band called The Flying Flacongas. The music was fresh, and the players were too old for their young britches. The central object is a steampunk yellow piano with guitar neck extensions twisted back into the frame. Brass instruments flank the sides. Wafting through space are words and phrases. Each phrase is stretched and pulled into the composition, filling the space. An upside-down man with a musical note tail bounces in the center. Upon asking the artist, he said, “Upside- down figures symbolize exuberance.” This painting is filled with a 60s feeling of excitement for youth.
