So square.

John and I headed down to Lauderhill on Sunday to drop off my piece for the Square Show.  I have participated in this show before and it's always a great one!  Tons of great art and the venue is just...FUN! Never been to the main Tate's down south?  Ummmm...here's a panoramic from the gallery upstairs...  

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for this year's show.  I had some monochromatic blue angels I had started a while back...but nothing was definite.  

Then Leonard Nimoy, aka 'Mr. Spock, passed last week and this weekend it hit me- I should do something based on him for the show.  Not that I am some huge Star Trek fan...I mean, don't get me wrong- I've watched my share of shows.  And I have made some Star Trek-themed art in the past few years, too:

..but something about Nimoy passing hit a chord with me, not only was he a cultural ICON, but part of my youth, but he was a multi-talented artist with a love for animals.  So I made an angel. I wrote his last 'tweet' on the edges of the canvas...and it seemed like the right thing to do, especially for this venue.

Sidenote... I gotta admit, I have to think about the angel motif twice, just because those are usually my signature #angeldrop pieces.  But I figure if the piece sells I will put the money back into getting supplies to make more art and more angels, so I thought it was fine to do.
