| Hey y'all! WAZ UP?!� Kandi Blue here.� Thanx to Keoki I'm also known as "Licker" or "Kanu".� The blank canvas of my life began July 2, 1980.� Since my youth I've been passionate about my art and painting.� I LOVED my Crayola 64 pack. (Oh come on, you know you loved it!)� In fact, my art is what led me to meet Keoki. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ya see it was the summer of '99 and we met at the Brooklyn Museum of Art--the home of the infamous Dung Mary (or whatever the title of that POS was--maybe it's PWS {painting WITH shit}) .� So I heard about it and thought, 'Dude! Here's this gallery that's open minded and REALLY hard up for art.'� So I figured I could get a show there.� So I packed up my gear, grabbed my portfolio and headed to NY.� How did my show go, you ask?� Well, it didn't. I refused to crap on a piece of canvas and call it art therefore I couldnt' get a show! Damn evil penguins! So I thought this sucks! I was pissed! So I decided to take it lying down and protest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I unrolled a HUGE piece of canvas and began to work...now if you know my work it's alot of think paint and splatter.� I got exhausted! And fell asleep on my painting.� About this time, Keoki tripped over me on his way into the gallery.� He was surrounded by these hoity toity patron types. He says I looked like some multicolored leopard. He later told me they were standing there saying what a wonderful statement my work made--"such a commentary on the pain of birth and the torment of life itself!".� These people actually thought it was some kind of performance art!� Whatever! Analyzing me foand my work for some deep meaning?� Well this sent Keoki into fits of laughter to listen to it all.� About this time, I woke up.� I heard all the muffled voices and the loud riotous laughter of this big red headed dude (who's hair is actually a mixture of arizlain crimson and raw sienna, but you didn't hear that from me) wearing a Hawaiian shirt so loud it needed it's own battery pack!� | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Scarecrow?!" I said sleepily.� He picked me up and we went out for drinks. He bought me all kinds of beverages but I HATED all of them.� Margarita? "OH MY GOD MY MOUTH!"� Long Island?� I looked like a cat with peanut butter on the roof of its mouth.� Then came the Tom Collins.� Keoki began to GAG at this drink. I took a sip and it was yummy! It tasted like lime! So, now I taste all the new drinks and if I gag it gets a 5 Star rating.� Keoki later gave me the nickname "Licker".� Now I will neither confirm nor deny any rumors but let's just say you name it I've licked it.� The game "Can U Lick Her Blue" was later created for me.� It's just something you've gotta see. Anywho, thanks for stopping by my bio. Come by the hall and check out my murals and work and see if YOU can lick me blue!� (As kemi would say, OY VEY!) |
