« CAUTION - More Accolades for the Flea »

BFF of the Week: Sheba Ross Delaney

As I was strolling, I noticed a woman carrying a Blue Marble Ice Cream in one hand, and in the other, a very large painting of a tiger with some people dramatically and painfully draped over a rock in the middle of violent waters. I was a little bit scared and very much intrigued. I also wanted to know which vendor was bringing the goods. Meet Sheba.

Where did you get that painting? Might want to pick up one for myself.
It's mine. I brought it here.

Oh! Are you selling it here?
No. I'm taking it out for a walk. I was in my studio and I wanted to get out and talk with people - get a response or some feedback on the painting.

Wow. Ok, well you caught my attention. Is your studio close to the Flea?
It's where I live, in the Upper East Side.

So, you left your studio, with your painting, with the intention of taking it on a walk at the Flea?
Yes. And I met an amazing artist on the train on the way here. He showed me a painting he made and it is incredible. You never know who you are going to meet. I'm thinking about getting a t-shirt made that says "Meet The Artist" so when I walk around with my art, people know I'm the artist and they can ask me about it.

That's a good idea. What is this painting?
It's a painting of Gustav Dore's Deluge, which is his illustration of the bible.

So there you have it folks. A roving art gallery, from Flea shopper Sheba Ross Delaney.

the one and only thing i bought at the flea was a painting. i got it for 60 (it was originally 90 i believe) cuz it had a tear in it :( but it's awesome. it's a velvet painting of a slutty chipmunk. the woman who sells them has a ton of them. i wish i could buy another one!

very interesting approach. The painting iself is, well, nice and large isn't it? A good size.

My god rob, I LOVE it! A slutty chipmunk. Can you snap a photo of it on your phone and bring it to the next Browner gathering? I wanna see!

Minard, you just made me spit out a bit of peanut butter puffin in a laugh-spray. That was funny.

Lonely and desperately needing attention.

ZZZZZZZZZZZ!

That is a horrible painting. Please leave that in the Upper East Side you are giving Brooklyn Artist a bad name. Not that they are many left do to Upper East Side wannabees moving to the hood so they can pretend to know how to paint and draw. Perfect example what not to paint. Now the blue marble on the other hands rocks.

"Bowl of Dicks" is a dickhead. That a is a beautiful painting by an extremely talented artist. "Sargan" would not know art if it bit them in the ass. If you don't have anything good to say, shut up and paint something yourself. Asses!!
