I painted this electric guitar top in the early 2000s in collaboration with Chris Larsen (of Girlbrand Guitars) who built the electric guitar. It’s painted in reverse on plexiglass using sign painters enamels.
I grew up in Santa Cruz but was scared to ride the rollercoaster until I was in my 40s.
Riding the Giant Dipper over and over helped me heal a broken heart.
I think the Giant Dipper is one of the most beautiful things in the world.
