About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist John McCabe illustrates an anthropomorphic elephant a step from the signage of a tap beer pub. He creates this piece for a panel for his song "How You Are" from his EP, "These Years." The ballad tells about leaving the US to live in Australia. Later on, a dear friend passed away, and the lyrics fit, giving it more meaning. "We used to drink at Kate O'Brien's bar, south of Market Street, San Francisco," shares John.

Just Wundering
By John Randall Nelson
Located in Los Angeles, CA
John Randall Nelson’s paintings are layered with his own personal language consisting of patterns, symbols, and archetypes that may not make any literal sense but play on subconscious associations. His paintings are thick with paint, poured pigment, and saturated washes with layers of drawing and collage. While Nelson's work is akin to outsider, folk art, it should be noted that he received his MFA from Arizona State University in 1995 and has completed commissions for clients as diverse as the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Postal Service...
