I painted this violin to be auctioned at the Redlands Symphony's Gala fundraiser in June.
The title is Moondreams, named after a song written by Norman Petty and recorded by Buddy Holly.
An article in the Redlands Daily Facts has info about the other violins in the auction:

Killer Sharks

2009-11-11T20:41:00.000-08:00

I was asked to create the cover art for a compilation album called "Killer Sharks" from Racket Magazine. I wanted to re-create a recognizable album cover but somehow include sharks... I ended up drawing my own version of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." The music compilation is available as a free download at http://www.racketmag.com/
