Colonial Brexit... (New MoneyArt by CMOR!)
I just drew and painted this today, and it is already sold and on its way to London!! Wow, I feel lucky, because it helped me pay the rent, which was 4 days late... Thank you Gandhi!! Rupee notes are a challenge for me to get, for some odd technical reason... My wish is that as they are devalued and the paper money becomes obsolete, someone would send me a briefcase full of dead currency for me to paint... Please?
One does not simply paint Gandhi... Meaning that I wasn't going to simply draw a moustache or triple chin on the father of fasting... It began as a good pun and then quickly became about Colonial Britain leaving India...
I showed the preliminaries to a friend, and he said it wasn't my best... Like a B side on a record of hits... Ok, I thought, and kept painting...
About this point, he said okay I take it back, this is another winner... I kept painting...
And when I showed it to the guy in the UK who is making a book of money artists' works, he immediately bought it and five more! So I can skip the pitch about needing weed and paint... This is sold, so go steem yourself if you wanted to collect it... Or I could make a second in the series, just gimme some rupees and a maker's fee...
Resteem if you must, this platform isn't going to succeed by itself! Votes are like girlfriends, some are really worth keeping... If that is you, stick around!
Really cool symbolism. Glad you got good money for it too! Nice to find you. I came across you on the Curie discord channel.
Nice artworks.... I thank God...it help you foot your bills 😂
