Jam Band
Giclee
Shoosty 2008

Here is a wild organ with feet gas pedals and gauges to show the power. This is combined with trumpet and french horn with a small guitar or violin in the center.
The tuners are flower buttons and the neck of the string instruments is curved in a cubist way. You may not be able to play music but it sure sounds like your having fun.

This is an ode to Jam Bands. Bands that using improv as the central method of creating music. Unplanned, playful, the music creates shapes of sound that are then crafted by the players.
Upside down head notes and strings the double as music sheet, an animal clawed foot and a crazy clock with chinese numbers.

Jason and Jaime Shooster are the artists kids. they are great improv artists. Carly’s eyes become the keeper of the prize.

Van Gogh’s ear is nearby to act as art element evoking impressionism and as the symbol of hearing or sound.

Music Theory and Art Theory converge
