~Rising Sun #2,Koi Bub~

Posted by Smiley on 5/24/2007
The Japanese consider it the most spirited of fish, so full of energy and power that it can fight its way up swift-running streams and cascades. Because of its strength and determination to overcome all obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals. The carp is an appropriate symbol to encourage the overcoming of life's difficulties leading to consequent success.

This piece is a bit over 16" long.
It features the kanji symbol for longevity.
Made in April '07.

>>>>>> '97 <<<<<<

" I suddenly became stangely inebriated.The external world became changed as in a dream.Objects appeared to gain in relief; they assumed unusual dimensions;and colors became more glowing .Even self-perception and the sense of time were changed.When the eyes are closed, colored pictures flashed past in a quickly changing kaleidoscope. After a few hours,the not unpleasent inebriation,which had been experienced whilst I was fully conscious,disappeared.What had caused this condition ?"
~Albert Hofmann, Laboratory Notes (1943)

>>>Thanks for checking out my Art.<<<

*And a big shout to all those that have supported me & supported my Art along the way.
**Thanks to all the guys i used to work with and bounce ideas with in Boulder.
(H-Bomb,J.A.G.,Newman,Brother Willis,Pabilsag,Galactic T and everyone else that was there back then)
***Big Thanks to Everyone on this site for all the Inspiration and Influence and all the people that make it go 'round.

~Peace
