My Six Mixed Media Pastel and Oli Pastel Sketches / Drawings I Just Did In Color Inspired By Joe Cocker The Man And His Wonderfully Gutteral And Raw Music And The News Of His Most-Untimely Daeth In Colorado @ The Age Of 70 Years Of Age : Sad!!!
These are three pastel and oil pastel drawings I just did out of six inspired by Joe Cocker and his singing , his style, his facial moevements, as well as body gyrations that I remember that all informed and acted collectively to blow me away pretty much each time I saw or heard him sing, starting way back when At Woodstock In New York State so many moons ago : loved it all, will miss you Joe, cheers, TONY 12/ 22 / 2014
My last three of six mixed-media pastel and oli pastel blends that I did just now on Monday night inspired by the news of Joe Cocker's death in Colorado at the age of 70, as well as by the man himself and all the memories and recollections I have of hearing him sing as well as seeing him sing. I loved it, always struck me straight in the gut and squeezed hard on my heart, and floated and exploded my brain as well : LOVED it! Cheers Joe! Thanks for the music, the showmanship and the gutteral rawness of your voice as you sang songs like the Beatle's : " She Came In Through The Bathroom Window . " 12. 22 / 2014
Hope you liked them! Cheers, Happy Holidays 2014, Happy New Year 2015!!! Listen to Joe's music, be inspired, be moved, be amazed and filled with his heart, soul, passion, pain, joy and life-force that still lives on through his music. Thanks again Joe, TONY

Anthony Quinn's Three Of Twelve Monotype Artist's Proof Prints I Did In January 26th, 199 @ The Lee Graham Art's Center In North Arlington From My Zinc Plate In Made In Paris, France I Believe In 1978 Or 1079? Enjoy, Stay-Tuned For The Other Nine Prints As Well!
sympathy and understanding : I guess my version of sisterhood back way then before I knew it as I was so much younger, in my twenties, and I believe then there were more angles for me at work. My title of 199 says it all for me even today, Tuesday, December 16th, 2014. I will include the other nine etchings from this plate as I have time. In the meantime enjoy these three and please comment. Cheers, TONY
All the work is for sale, inquire if you are interested. Cheers, happy holidays 2014, and Happy New Year 2015...

Remembering My Uncle Mort That Passed Away Years Ago In California And Here I Show An Etching Print That I Made Years Ago In Paris, France And Used On My Poster Advertising My Show Of Etchings In 1980 In Haselt, Belgium : Cheers!
From the poster I made for my art show of my etchings in Haselt, Belgium back in 1980 " that was special, this was an etching I did when my Uncle Mort died and it touched me greatly, of his humble burial, much like one might have been back in Belgium when Van Gogh lived there, I went and put oil pastels on this copy here to approximate some of the color it has as it is a color plate/ print. Cheers all, TONY 12/ 8/ 2014
I did a whole series and they all depict a group of friends carrying their dead friend to his final resting place, a piece of earth out in the country somewhere, a final resting place for his body. It's abstract, it is done with a thick oil-based sticky red pencil that I like to use to draw with as it is vague and not so clearly-defined so that I may interpret the lines of the bodies as I feel, as they either blend more or less into their environment, depending on my mood as I draw or print from it. I will later today put some on my prints from 199 that I did from these plates I made while living in Paris, France in the seventies. his one I think I did on the back of a zinc plate that I covered and scratched away at the protective pale gree surface on the back to save money then as I was quite pour and without money but quite rich and alive with ideas and inspiration and quests and questions, too ... cheers Vania, TONY
