Larson: Drawings, Prints & Other

from Cheryl P
from Alan B: As all his friends know, David loved to doodle, on any piece of scrap card stock or paper. These are very small images he xeroxed a bunch together before sticking a few into books as markers at Cameron Village Library for a lucky person to find later.
Another interesting way David “published” his work was stickers, made from mostly bio portraits or Muerto Dia images and distributed to friends and on signs around town. Click below th see a selection.

Below are 4 of the original pieces that came from Karl’s house on Cox Avenue to be shown at the original tiny location of the Paper Plant Bookstore on Salisbury Street in downtown Raleigh.

This lovely gal, a paper cut-out, came out of the closet in the Park Ave. apartment (by the I-Hop) during the final party before destruction of that house. Everyone graffiti=ed all the walls – David had already lettered this out in the hall “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.”

He gave Mom and I this great painting for a song, after turning down a lot more for it at Easy Street one night, where it was hanging in Jim’s office. Madelyn only allowed it on the wall when I was in town. I had to wrap it in a sheet and hide it behind the sofa when I left. That went on for years.
Thanks David Larson.
