Rasta painting

[omar]

As not only a roots addict, but also a painter I would be interested to learn about rasta painting and visual arts - do you know of any books, collections or exhibitions on this subject?

many thinks for the link here to my "rasta-boy-painting-in-progress".

This painting is just one of a series of many, primarily Jamaican, portraits that I have completed over the past few months, several are of rasta bredren. They are all on my blog, many with stories about the individual pictured.

I hope you do not mind me adding the link to the main blog here, this is not a commercial plug for myself -- these paintings are currently not for sale -- I hope to exhibit them all one day soon.

I appreciate any and all feedback -- look forward to hearing from the members of this community.

I know this is no longer on the issue of rasta painting - but I just need to ask ranking trevor a quick question:

do you remember any of the titles of the sides you recorded or the labels? I would try to track them down if I can.

at my local reggae shop, Reggae Fever in Zürich Switzerland, I found a 12' of waiting in the park by the chantells and one Jah Barry on the Phase One label (prod Roy Francis). However, on other sites his name is written Jah Berry.
To add to my confusion Roots Archives also gives Jah Berry as an aka of Prince Hammer.

Just curious to see if I can track down you or you partner.

Best from Omar

So, Trevor, what about the In Fine Style, or was it Rub A Dub Style for Virgin's Front Line label in 1978, a successful album?

There was a jah barry 7" up on ebay only the other day, forget what it was now, not often i see anything by jah barry, i presume he didn't release alot?
Also there was another Ranking Trevor in the UK i beleive in the 80's so not to get confused.
Be nice to hear them tunes u did Trevor, would love to hear them, will also keep an eye out for them...
