"Man with Golden Beard Faces the Unknown" - Picture of said matching pair of art pieces.

This painting was poured February 19th, 2020, about a month before Riverside County pandemic lock down went into effect. The family went into self-quarantine for being sick and I almost died of COVID-19. Crazy crazy stuff. You can read about it here in a manuscript submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office: http://www.familycraftsandgames.com/f...

The music is "El" by Danny Dannels, previously recorded and posted here for exclusive music content. https://youtu.be/SlpOfzpo6Qg

Custom lacquer is Mentality Nail Polish. The lacquer used is the samples from the Arminex production era that we saved for five years to meet FDA and EPA requirements. A source of such heartache at the time as we battled a malfeasant corporation, the paint itself has gone on to become integrated and completely consumed into various artworks.

El is original music recorded by Danny Dannels and published May 20th, 2020. This song is part of his background track repertoire for use in FCG, Family Crafts and Games, video production.

The cover is a picture of Danny Dannels after recovering from COVID-19 and original image can be found on his Facebook. The melody was recorded on a black Esteban 8th Anniversary Classical Guitar with reverb added. The solo was recorded on a black Esteban steel string guitar with compression, distortion, and reverb. Both guitars were unopened in original package until late 2019.

All audio recorded on a Blue Yeti USB microphone. Audio processed in Audacity. Video processed in Kdenlive. Project processed in Ubuntu 19.10 using a Dell Optiplex 790. Original photo by Hillary Dannels using a Samsung Active 8 phone, at the house, in the backyard, by the garden wall, after not freaking dying of COVID.
