I started this series as a way to identify w my two sons as they became young men. I began to think that it would make a great series. I am increasingly interested in the idea of exchange as part of my process. So if you would like to contribute to the project…I will produce a small study in exchange for your participation. You will need to cut your hair in a mohawk. No set form…just your version of a mohawk. Take a good digital pic of it (straight forward like these paintings). I will use it to create a study for you…and a final painting to be added to this series. Your time and energy and willingness in exchange for a sketch.
Want to participate? I am looking for: Punk rock mohawks, colored and dyed, standing 12 inches spiked, 270 degree hawk, death-hawk, liberty spikes, beaver, dread-hawks, emohawks, mollet hawks, bi-hawks or twin fins, blow-hawks, fanned, side hawks, slant hawks, glow hawks, chelsea hawk, cross hawk, indian feather, hawk by hair clip (not really a mohawk…but pushed up and gathered in a row), butch, shaved, crew, hairblown, cornrowed,…you get the picture right??
Spread the word. Re-post on your sites and direct people my way. Thanks!
If you are sportin’ a mohawk…let me hear from you.
