Small Portrait of Abraham Lincoln.  9x12 ink on Bristol Paper.

Yesterday was Lincoln's Birthday.  I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday, so I'm doing it a day late.  The story goes that a young girl wrote Lincoln and suggested he would look better with a beard and that prompted him to grow his iconic goatee.   This is based on a younger Lincoln probably a newly elected Lincoln.

Looking forward in February

by Retoyman in , , ,


February is short month with much to look forward to. For me and this art project two large annual events occur. The first is Fashion Week in New York. I am here in NY for the next 2 weeks. My goal is make artwork in the evenings after all the photo shoots are over. The other is Abe Lincoln's Birthday on the 12th. I have been musing over ideas for artwork to commemorate the event.

I love the Flickr page of US Library of Congress. My good friend at Kill Palm Trees introduced it to me a year or so ago. I haven't gone back for bit and when I returned I found a collection of photos of Lincoln. The quality of the images they post is great and some of the images I have never seen before. See the photos of Lincoln here.
