A year ago I wrote about Alice Simpson’s self-portrait series of ceramic busts – each inspired by historical figures, history or great works of art. At the end of the post I suggested that Simpson make a self-portrait for her Hip Hop series. She put it on her to-do list:
“What a wonderful suggestion from The Daily Muse; “Portrait of the Artist As… a Hip Hop Rapper.” That will be added to my To-Do List! I’ll need a hip rap name; “Alice in WonDaLand”? You are definitely a muse!”
Portrait of the Artist As Alice in Won Da Land
8.5” x 8.5” x5” , partially glazed porcelain, milk paint
The finished piece is magnificent [check out that gold tooth!]. Hey Alice – thanks for sharing Alice in Won Da Land with us – I love her!
More from daMuse later today
Come back this afternoon, when I share the singular best decision I made last year – and how it helped me move my creative and professional life forward.
What a surprise this morning, when I looked to see what you had chosen for the day! ME, ME, ME!
Just in time to celebrate my OPENING tomorrow at the SOPAS Gallery in South Pasadena of
“Me, Myself & Others.”
Usually when people suggest projects for me, I respond, “You should do that.” Your idea was
too good to pass up!
Wishing you and your readers could be here to help me celebrate my first California solo show.
This is absolutely awesome!
