Title: Reef Meets Rainforest
Post by: Nighthawk on July 17, 2010, 03:06:06 AM

Picked this up today at a garage sale. Thought it was pretty neat. Print signed by Australian artist David Stacey entitled "Reef Meets Rainforest", 31" X 36" and originally sold for $50 AUS, I got this one for $5.   ;D

I have never heard of him, but I know a young Lass named Stacey who does some nice art work.
Here is an example....

Any comments and feedback would be appreciated please.

You know, the first thing I thought of when I saw that print was the older banknotes of Sri Lanka (Ceylon). And what beautiful works of art they are: 2 Rupees, 1979,  P83   ;D

LOOKING BACK  OVER THOSE NOTES I HAVE TO AGREE THAT THE U.S. SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ITS NUMISMATIC EFFORTS---OUR PAPER MOMEY PRINTED BEFORE 1914 WAS SO CREATIVE AND FULL OF ARTWORK----SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF---BUT NOT ANYMORE--THAT IS WHY I LOVE THE OLD LARGE U.S. NOTES CALLED "HORSE BLANKETS"----THEY REPRESENT A TIME WHEN WE TOOK PRIDE IN OUR WORK....THANKS AGAIN JOHN FOR SHOWING THE BEAUTY IN MONEY.........
