A Stamp for the Legendary Jimi Hendrix: Painting Rudy Gutierrez

It was a great feeling to hear that Rudy Gutierrez was creating the art for a US Postage Stamp honoring the great guitarist Jimi Hendrix.  This is so special because Rudy attended Pratt Institute with Monna.   She remembers his friendly demeanor and kind smile. 

Rudy says..
"When Jimi said to "wave your freak flag high" for me he really was talking about the beauty of being ourselves and seeing the divinity and validity in who we are! Everyone has this beautiful light unless they allow it to be put out! "

 

"To all my Gypsy, Rainbows and Lovers of the Sonic Medicinal Electric Warrior known as Jimi Hendrix, here is a video of me painting Jimi for the stamp and being interviewed by Christopher Tyree of the Journey Group. The amazing designer is Greg Breeding!"
