I’m having trouble embedding the video, but you can view it here. And also a picture of us with Godard and our painting.
Godard I do a lot of wine pieces. Now in my particular world, the corks and the grapes don’t get along very well, because the cork is the one that seals the fate of the grapes, and all the grapes uncles and things end up in the bottle. But in this particular one, this is a real type of wine called Incognito. I just did some for Lodi Vineyards, which has the Seven Deadly Zins and they did the Seven Heavenly Chards, and their new one that’s coming out is called the sixth sense, so my theme for that one is going to be “I see Drunk People”. But anyway, so what they did is I talked to the wine company and they want to do something they would fit with the “Incognito”. The particular client that got it too had this really unique thing that she collected corks and she said that she actually made these little cork holders and then I thought that would be really fun. But again when I thought of incognito, I thought of the grape, he’s kind of hiding out. Because, if you are still a grape, you aren’t turned into wine yet, so he’s got a chance. So he needs to stay incognito. But that’s basically what its about. The other thing I really enjoy about the black backgrounds is because I’m a really lazy artist, I don’t have to paint much—no. No, its because really what it does, is its kind of like the difference between reading a book and watching a movie. Because when you watch a movie, everything is defined for you, but I mean, two people can read the same book, and you know, you kind of help create it. And that’s one of the things I like about the paintings; I imagine they can be taking place a lot of different places. So that’s kind of it, and I will sign my name.
Kim And what is this guy made out of? What is that? points to stick figure
Godard This was actually like a piece of… uh, I don’t know what it was… brass or steel. But she had, or he, his wife, had made this little holder and they collected all their corks. This thing was actually really, really long they made it into corkscrew openers—basically its an opener. Would you like me to put your names on this as well. It just depends on whether you are going to get rid of it or not.
Kim No, we would never want to get rid of it.
Godard Ok, so lets see here… writes “wine and love makes life intoxicating” You can still read my handwriting, that’s why I’m not a doctor.
