His Holiness the Bahbra Binki (framed, original mixed media piece)

Description

Original HaggisVitae altered photo printed on photopaper by professional lab. Framed in a shadowbox, covered with glass. Frame is collaged with vintage German medical text illustrations and hand finished. Rusted suitcase clasp and hand made black cotton tassel added for vintage feel. Story is affixed to back and piece is complete with picure wire and ready for your wall.

The story goes as follows:

"In this his only formal portrait, Bahbra Binki, renowned Sufi master and dervish with the most consecutive gold metals in whirling, is seen here in full regalia and looking pensive. When pressed for the meanings of the symbols within the portrait, Binki swore it was standard fare for a dervish of his rank, looked around nervously, coughed in a violent manner and begged for a lozenge. Soon after this was taken he was said to have run off with a massive leather-clad man who went by the name of Simkins--a strange character himself proported to have kept a small "humanoid" companion on a leash which screamed "gimme some!" unmercilessly. Binki was also the author of the acclaimed book of Haiku entitled, 'I Have Something in My Third Eye'."

This piece is near and dear to my heart, but I'd love for it to find a lovely home with some strange, kindred soul who loves H.V. weirdness.
