CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

We are working with Pahandle Slim to publish a book of his work and he wants to include his supporters and patrons. He writes:

"A very small/DIY book project in Florida approached me about doing a book. My idea for a long time is to create a book that has paintings I’ve done and focus on the people who have one of my paintings. I’d like to see a picture of where, what wall/etc it ended up on and why that certain person and quote speaks to you. This project would require you sending us a picture of your painting in the place it resides. Then sending us some words on what the person/quote in the painting means to you. I assume the book folks will need the best quality photo you can provide.

Also thought about the women who marched in Washington at the Women’s March. If you marched with one of my paintings and have a photo of it then or now. I know you have words to share about that."

If interested in participating in this call, please send a good-quality image and a few sentences about the reason you purchased the painting, including your name and location (City/State) to 309punkproject@gmail.com by 10/10/23. Subject Line: Panhandle Slim.
