Rainbow King 

Pen Ink Prismacolor on Paper 12 x 13 inches 1984

Artist Note

The Rainbow King serves as the celestial companion to the queen and features Jimi Hendrix as a psychedelic demigod creating new worlds and realities with his music. In this visual journal of sonic creation he sits at the center of flowing rainbows while his hair becomes a circular gateway containing a galaxy and suns and ancient temples. This landscape is a direct recording of the visions that emanate from his ever expanding mind as he plays the frequency of the infinite. In the foreground he is greeted by both a Greek god and an angel of fire who acknowledge his status as a master of the cosmic vibration. Living orbs float through the background with pupils that contain entire life forms suggesting that every note he plays is a seed for new biological existence. The surrounding space is thick with cosmic debris that represents the intricate and intense fabric of the universe being reshaped by his intent. This work bridges the gap between our world and the higher planes by showing how a single soul can channel the raw power of the multiverse. It is a testament to the idea that music is the primary tool for the evolution of our collective consciousness.
