MUST SEE VIDEO: Artist Rudy Gutierrez on his New JIMI HENDRIX STAMP!!!!

[Ryan Goble]

Sadly, you can't embed the video. But let me start by letting you know Rudy Gutierrez's work is likely familiar from his Santana cover...

From there Gutierrez starts by saying:

"If art is magic. If art is to inspire. if art is a weapon. if it is medicine used to heal soul wounds. or if it makes one not feel alone in his or her visions. or if it serves as transportation to a higher self then that is where I aspire to live every day."

You can watch the video "Channeling Jimi"- for now ONLY here at USPS.

Here is the press release about the stamp...

 

If that is not a "wow" stamp, I don't know what is.

 

I think Gutierrez's video is and excellent teaching tool because he talks about the connections between form and content, the media and the message. This would be excellent for any art class but also for those exploring historical portraiture in art, music, film or literature.

 

“Are you plugged into the universe?”

 

WOW.
