I'd like to meet:

Comments about JAZZ BAND CITY by author and artist, Bill Creevy .

Wow DS! Amazing stuff. Its hard to believe they're woodcuts. What fascinates me is to see the evolution of this work. That is, I can see how critical the drawings on vellum are to the developement of the multiplied image - almost in imitation to the vibration of music (jazz) itself. For some reason I can't seem to get rid of the idea of Jasper Johns or Jim Dine somewhere in all this. You know what I mean? Its as if the image is presented but entirely transformed and enhanced somewhere in the developmental stages. Yet having said that - is continued on through to the woodcut process itself. I think Johns would like this work. Don't you???

Its a shame you don't have more time to devote to this work. I can see how addicting it must be to do this kind of multiple developing of the image. I like the color possibilities that occur at the woodcut stage too. It must be difficult to find a place to stop. Of course, I guess with woodcuts, the natural inclination is to have one idea lead to the next and on and on. I suspose that's a little bit like jazz itself when you think about it - an ongoing stream of development!!!!!!

Hmmm.... pushing the envelope, ah. Yeah. I can envision that turning into something wonderful. Still woodcuts or paintings or both? What I find interesting about this current series of musical instruments (and can envision with the urban themes) is that both motifs provide "boundries" for your painting style. I like the way the "marks' in this new series are more contained within an overall design: more like Picasso and Beckmann rather than Kandinsky.

New Yorkers are as chauvenistic about their town as anybody. Don't be suprized by the action.

We'll stay in touch - Bill Creevy
