 David Levine portrait to show at Sideshow Gallery
posted: January 6, 2010
It was so sad to hear that David Levine had died. He was a major influence I don't think any of us could master his penmanship. I first remembered seeing a gallery of his work at the Hirshhorn Museum on a school bus trip from London Ontario Canada, to Washington D.C. I had the honour of meeting him briefly a couple of times and attended a lecture of his at a Reubin awards convention at the World Trade Center in 2000. He was such a dignified man even while being hounded by autograph seekers. I wish I had the nerve to have him draw me and Susann something. We just watched him draw so effortlessly while we were conversing. Susann met him many years later at the Forum Gallery during his retrospective. She told him how big an influence he was to her husband and presented one of my promo cards , and, he said he couldn't see it due to his macular degeneration. This was sometime before the Vanity Fair article. I couldn't bring myself to copy his most famous art of President Johnson pointing to his gall bladder Vietnam scar. I just photoshopped it.
I created it for Larry Peterson's website"Celebrity Death Haiku " I submitted this art to show at Richard Timperio's Sideshow Gallery in Williamsberg Brooklyn, opening this Saturday, at 6 P.M.

David Carradine's Celebrity Death Haiku
posted: June 5, 2009
The Celebrity Death Haiku was created by my friend Larry Peterson. I've known him for years and we've worked on several projects together; he even calls sometimes when a celebrity hasn't died. Go to the link below for a look at my drawings and his haiku. And feel free to leave your own comments or write your own haiku for David Carradine and other dead famous people (or is it famous dead people?). Either way, our motto is: They may be dead, but they're still famous!
