Jaco Painting

RIP Jaco. I managed Valley Forge Racquet Club in my 20s and played racquetball with the great Jaco Pastorius. Always the devoted maniac, he insisted on playing in bare feet. As soon as we started playing he was all over the court with his hair flying around despite the omnipresent headband. Jaco was a fierce competitor and often kicked up and off the walls to jump for shots. More than once he banged those million dollar hands against the wall, hard enough to make his knuckles bleed. I'm mostly happy because I DON'T have a story that starts out with "I once ruined Jaco Pastorius' musical career while beating him at racquetball". I began my "outsider artist" journey painting on the backs of obsolete Habitat for Humanity signs. When I had gone through all could find I turned to other hand lettered, ad hoc plywood signs like the kind one might find advertising yard sales or in concert venue parking lots. I flip them over and use the open wood panel to create art, including this piece. My entire series of 2 foot x 2 foot verso homemade sign artwork are all on clean plywood and weigh ~3.5 lbs and they all will need to be hung in a frame.
