My favorite drawing – Liberty!
I just wanted to share a photo of me with my favorite drawing! This drawing you see me holding was a gift from Frances Byrd of Machine Politick fame, who is based in Atlanta, Georgia, back home in the good ole US of A. A while back I interviewed Frances about her art because I found it so interesting. I thought correctly that her art would be of interest to others in my blog community, which did prove to be that case. Sometime later Frances sent me a drawing of Lady Liberty, of whom we both are big fans. I was thinking about it this morning and work and it occured to me that I had yet to send Frances a picture of her gift in my office… So I hope she sees this one!
The gift from Frances Byrd - Liberty!
The original hangs here in my Bangkok office near my desk above my book case. It has given me the opportunity to explain to my staff and to any visitors that I might have what freedom and liberty means to me. For that alone I am very thankful!
I would just like to end this quick posting with a short plug for Frances:
If you like contemporary art from a talented artist with a hard core libertarian angle I suggest you look Frances’s work over!
Thanks Gary Dale. I’m glad to know it brings you happiness.
It’s a hard battle over here for Liberty these days, but I think, through my art I can make a difference. Maybe if my work can inspire people to stop a minute to enjoy it, they will walk away with a need to know more about he underlying philosophy.
I meet more and more artists every day who share my vision. I’m slowly building a network and helping them get recognized as well. Perhaps one day we’ll put on a festival for Liberty and share our vision with the world.
I will have you to thank for your part in making that happen.
