Do not celebrate for the day. Celebrate for the end of tyranny. And stupidity.

Oh, and please Google "The Safety Dance". It ain't disco, but it's actually a protest song.

Your boss dropped 8 new accounts on your lap? Let's go dancing. Your in-laws are coming to visit for a month? Go dancing. Your government is less trustworthy than a suspiciously moist fart? Okay, we're gonna need more than just dancing, but an hour of vigorous interpretative dance couldn't hurt...

Seth Green (as James St. James) said it best in Party Monster: "It doesn't matter what you look like! I mean if you have a hunchback, just throw a little glitter on it, honey, and go dancing." Aside from my distaste for glitter, this is fantastic advice.

Sometimes we think we dance to forget, but memories linger and hue our movements beyond merely generic gestures and process. Each step can help release the accumulated stress and negativity that we fail to address.

"We can dance if we want to..."

Men Without Hats
Dancing is an important human activity. It isn't merely some bonus cardio for your weekly stats- it is a physical response to the emotional detritus of human existence.

Voices and emotions swing high and deep, in both electronic and analog vibrations. Just listen with your heart.

Miami has always been a music city, it just doesn't have an audience like Detroit, Nashville and other American music hubs. Rich with tropical grooves and sensuality, the music can make you sway with the palms, it can make you dance with abandon... maybe it can even awaken your true self...

Another city! Unlike my previous cityworks, I have been to Miami. Granted, it was over 30 years ago. Oh, to be young, naive and oblivious again!

At night the lights blister the dark with pretty colors, while tourists ignore the petty glances of cityfolk. Words flicker and fade- signs gleefully announce new things and old things, these things and those things, making the shadows scream defiantly against the rage of electricity.

I like cities- to visit, at the most. I like the bustle and movement, the way people walk and drive with purpose- and impatience; the noise of progress as thick in the air as the smell of the sun baking asphalt, concrete and stone...

They all have wonky phases. I love tracking my packages on USPS... and watching them bounce between 2 local hubs a few times before someone puts said packages on a correct route.

Could I create an image that celebrates his legacy, but in my own style without being too on-the-nose? I think I succeeded... even if it gave me some Close Encounters of the Third Kind vibes.
Totally acceptable vibes, imo.

The idea to create this piece came to me while arting at Trackside Studios in Asheville. I'd been trying to find something else on my phone to show to someone, but I got distracted by a Mark Rothko work. I do not remember the piece specifically, but a seed had been planted.

Totally took me back to the sex/soccer scene in Trainspotting.
