Lion Male in Majestic Mauve Pink
By Robert Funk
Located in Miami, FL
Well-muscled male cat with full mane. He's King of the Jungle even if he's in stone and against a pink background.
The contrast of gritty the stone texture against the smooth flat sky is unexpected and somehow makes the image special.
Signed, dating and numbered 2/15 recto, unframed, another size available, printed later, Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper

Fly to the Sky. Boy Holding Big Bird in the Bronx
By Robert Funk
Located in Miami, FL
The big bird is a painting. I painted it. It's oil on canvas. I mounted it on plywood and silhouetted it with a jigsaw. I took the silhouetted bird with me on the subway. We each had our own seat on the trip from Brooklyn to the Bronx
The station has changed. In a Google stock image photo, you can see the geniuses have destroyed the beautiful character of the station. The early 20th-century signage and lighting fixtures have been changed by soulless and cheap-looking replacements.
