Further images
This work and “Lemon’s New World Blues” were conceived to be part of a larger body of paintings in which Cyrus worked with Walter Stanciell, a longtime Third Ward sign painter in Houston, in which they intended to execute classic contemporary text works in a vernacular style. The text chosen for this piece was taken from the Basquiat painting, "Native Carrying Some Guns, Bibles, Amorites on Safari," 1982.
