I continued making this paper cut artwork while I participated in the “Art Walk 2014” exhibition.
Maybe you know him well because their song called “To Be With You” in their 2nd album Lean Into It is a HUGE hit song, and you can see them on some morning TV programs in Japan.
[Working process]
I paid my attention to the cutting order to make the consequence process easy.
I cut the image of snare drums, then hi-hat cymbals.
Then cut the paper to make the shape of the outline of Pat’s shoulder to arm.
Add the cut line of the tam-tam and bass drum.
With the cymbals, you can easily imagine the whole image!
Next, the head and hair image.
I’m not irritating you, but cutting the paper carefully...
I wish I were Chris Impellitteri for paper cut works!
Done! Here’s the finished paper before framed.
I went to their shows three times, twice before Paul’s withdrawal, and once after their reunion with my parents.
The live shows in their 90’s were super cool that I can’t forget, though I was a kindergartener at that time.
To me, the concept of rock music derives directly from MR.BIG.
I Love You, Pat. We will never forget you. Rest In Peace...
