TITLE: ELVIS IN A MOTEL ROOM a partial list of my celebrity collectors includes: Julia Roberts — Jimmy Vaughan — Willie Nelson for more info please seekatabillups.com ARTIST’S DESCRIPTION OF PAINTING: I love CREATING SCENARIOS FROM MY IMAGINATION that show vulnerabilities in the rock and roll icons. Here, we see Elvis on the road again… alone in ANOTHER motel room… standing by a mirror. He gazes off…(daydreaming about home: Graceland, peanut butter and banana sandwiches and his young wife, Priscilla). He stands by the sink. Most sinks in the cheaper old motels were in the bedroom hanging off the wall as shown. He’s in his underwear … holding a toothbrush. His neatly arranged suitcase lies on the bed (still unpacked) and his guitar case lies open on the floor- (as if he’d picked it up to play a little…). The carpet is an old 60’s 70’s motel color (nostalgically termed ‘puke green’. The motel sign shows just beyond the bedroom window. It’s night-time. And Elvis wishes he was back home. The piece is autobiographic in ways (as most of my work is). While married to my fist husband (a Nashville singer/songwriter) I went on a couple ‘tours’ with him. He’d just begun to have some hit songs and still liked to be thrifty on the road so we stayed in many a motel like the one pictured here. I’ll never forget one in Columbia S/C. It was kinda scary with its’ giant blood stain on the carpet and badly patched door. The shoddy patch job took up about half the door. Most likely a bad attempt to conceal some bullet shots. The left side driver side window was broken out and the radio stolen when we got back to the car after my husband’s concert that night and sirens throughout the night made sleeping difficult. I put two pillows over my head and hoped for morning. about my Howard Finster CONNECTION: I had a joint show with the late great Reverend Howard Finster shortly before he died. Some of my folk styled work is influenced by him- not only stylistically but by virtue of the fact that he was (to me) the ultimate preacher/painter. Howard often took common recognizable objects(like his giant coke bottle piece) and plastered the image with Bible sayings… almost as if he were a naive forerunner of subliminal influences in art and culture. the last pic. is of me and Howard around 1998 at our joint show shortly before his death. TECHNICAL DETAILS ABOUT THIS WORK: This listing is category 2. (a very rare VERSION of my work.(see categories of work directly below) It is entirely hand painted- with a canvas background. It is perhaps my favorite piece in this category and price-range among mycurrent listings. DIMENSIONS: The exterior frame dimensions are 17.5″ high, 14″ across and 5″ deep. This is a custom quadruple frame I created. It is shadow boxed in order to hold the vintage and kitsch objects in a way that draws the viewer deeper in. The painting itself is 14″ high and 11″ across. There is an old toy sink, an antique porcelain doll head,a miniature guitar and various vintage matchbook covers (with motel and restaurant themes). This piece (as all others) has with the correct hanging apparatus on back. CATEGORIES OF WORK:(listed in descending order by price and rarity) 1. PRIMARY ORIGINALS These are the most time-consuming, most expensive and generally the largest in scale of my works. They are owned by hundreds of Private Individuals and several Museums worldwide. One Primary Original may take weeks, months or even years to complete. For decades I created an average of five to twenty pieces of this type work per year. I’m taking a break from creating them to build my business and life in new ways. I am not yet sure if I will ever create work in this category again. For updates please check k a t a b i l l u p s . c o m 2. VERSIONS OF WORK These are generally the second most time-consuming and expensive of my works. They are ownedby hundreds of individuals across the world. Each one is an entirely hand-painted VERSION of a Primary Original Painting. They are similar but in no way identical to the PRIMARY ORIGINALS after which they take their inspiration. Within these pieces I’ve been inspired to rework or add newcharacters, furnishings, backgrounds and colors in ways that never occurred in the PRIMARY ORIGINALS paintings. These pieces may even contain new themes and ideas. I typically devoted one to four months creating each piece (depending on size and complexity). They sometimes (but not always) include unique frames embellished with one-of-a-kind mattes and vintage objects de’ artand unusual titles. They are framed in many ways; simply, ornately, etc. They were painted on a variety of surfaces besides just canvas or wood including gallery wrap canvas and small furniture; (both whichrequired no frame). All these works are technically and legally Original Paintings. They are entirely 100% hand painted throughout all the layers applied as the work progressed. I generally created around five to fifteen pieces in this category of work per year. This category of work began in approximately 2004 and ended in 2023. I have around ten to fifteen unfinished pieces within this category in storage and may complete them if I am so inspired in the future. If so, they will be dated the year they are completed. 3. REPLICA ORIGINALS These are typically the third most time consuming type of work (and third most expensive)and are owned by over one thousand people across the globe. There may be over two thousand incirculation. I do not know because I never kept exact records. The demand for them arose when Patrons admired some of my previously sold PRIMARY ORIGINAL pieces and wanted something similar but not as expensive. They are are similar to my VERSIONS of WORK (see category 2. works above) withsome important exceptions. First of all, they are as close to being identical to the PRIMARY ORIGINALS as possible. They have no new creative developments within them (unlike works in category 2.) withthe important exception of the frames which were often elaborately embellished with one-of-a-kindmattes, vintage objects de’ art and unusual titles. They are painted on a variety of surfaces (wood,canvas, mirrors, small furniture and other materials). They are hand-painted REPLICAS of some of my favorite PRIMARY ORIGINALS. Each piece is hand painted across the entire surface andmany have additional painting in layers beneath the surface of the top glazes. Each work required atleast a week or several weeks to complete (depending on the size and complexity). They are legally and ethically also Original Paintings in their own right. I began this category of work in approximately 2004. In late 2023 I stopped creating in this category. I have about forty unfinished pieces in this category (in storage) and may complete these works if I am so inspired in the future. If so, they will be dated the year they are completed. 4. SMALL GALLERY WRAP CANVAS REPLICA ORIGINALS This category was created in 2021. I created less than 70 of these and will never create any more. They are similar to my Replica Originals but smaller. For or more on REPLICA ORIGINALS see category3 above. In addition they are created on gallery wrap canvases which are deeper than most average canvases. They’re designed to be painted on all four external edges of the canvas (edges which are typically covered by a frame. The idea is for the collector to display the work without a frame and enjoy the unique dimensional effect as the painting ‘wraps around’ the sides. The artwork may also be displayed ‘standing up’ on a piece of furniture. Proper hanging apparatus is attached to the back of the canvas. 5. SECOND STYLE REPLICA ORIGINAL PAINTINGS New to the market beginning in 2023 and projected to be my main product going forward, this type of work is similar to my REPLICA ORIGINAL works but less expensive. Like my VERSIONS OF WORK, I’ve added new elements. This type of work allows endless opportunities to re-express myself (beyondthe original inspiration). I’m adding additional themes and characters to previously created PRIMARY ORIGINAL pieces. Each piece is first printed on a uniquely light-weight yet strong material using state of the art equipment (for maximum clarity of resolution, color, etc.). I then spend several hoursembellishing the piece with hand painted areas (and attaching one or more vintage objects de’ art to theframe. The areas of hand painting make each piece an ORIGINAL work of art technically and legally. 6. SPECIALIZED FRAMED OR MOUNTED PRINTS. When I first offered this category at the inception of my rock and roll icon art work, pieces were typically framed after being mounted on foam core or wood. They generally had many objects de’ art attached to the piece using glue and or wire. I also mounted the prints on small pieces of furniture, toys, cigar boxes,mirrors, musical instruments etc. I began with very small embellished framed prints at my first show inNashville TN. in the early 1990’s. Originally using tiny photographic prints of my work called proof shots,eventually my work expanded in size. I created and sold hundreds (probably over one thousand) of theseworks. The prints mounted on toys, furniture and other objects during this early time were more rare. Icreated about one hundred of them. These pieces were created only between the years 1993 and 2004.They ranged in size from very small (around 3″ x 4″ to much larger 16″ x 20″ or so). 7. 2023 SIGNED PRINTS About twenty five years after beginning my rock and roll icon art business, I stopped creating prints. Around 2004 I wanted all my future collectors to own works more unique and valuable than my prints(which were mainly sold framed and with kitsch objects attached as mentioned above in Category 6).This decision was made even though many early collectors (like Julia Roberts) owned these pieces.For one year only (2023) I produced signed prints one more time. This was in the interim of developing a more affordable new product (see category 5 above). The new product evolved as I began to phase out my older categories of work. This made the remaining work more rare and therefore more expensive and I still wanted any potential collector be able to afford my work so I developed a new product. Whilecreating the new product it seemed good to offer signed prints one last time. Each one was producedon extra heavy card stock paper with a gloss finish using the most expensive state of the art equipment. Each one was signed and dated.
