A moldy oldy...

...found!

I sold this piece to a guy in Oslo, Norway about 7 years ago. He took pics and sent me the negatives years ago...but I just found them today!

It's my very 1st monkey painting called F.U.

I think I got the title from listening to a lot of Howard Stern in the 90's. For those of you who don't know; you can't say FUCK on TV or the radio in America. I know it's just a word but you still can't say it on public airways even though everyone does in public or privately. Notice the monkey in his death pose with the shamrock gripped tightly in his tail, while flipping the bird with his monkey feet!

The styles changed a bit since then but it's not too bad of a piece.

4th Annual Ventura Studio Artist Tour

Local Ventura Artist Terence Ulrich will be displaying various art pieces at the Bell Arts Factory, 432 N. Ventura Ave. Ventura 93001, during the 4th Annual Ventura Studio Artist Tour weekend, May 19-20, 2007 – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m..

Presented by Focus on the Masters, the Tour provides local and out-of-town art aficionados with a once-a-year opportunity to visit with Ventura artists in their studios.

Originally from Indiana, Terence Ulrich now resides in Ventura, California. He has illustrated articles and covers for magazines and newspapers across the United States and his fine art hangs in private collections around the world.

Terence also completed earlier this year a mural for the City of Ventura's Streetscape Mural Project.

His style he feels can be summed up in three words "urban folk art" which he developed after living in Los Angeles for six years. Folk art is commonly defined as art made by common folk during the course of their days.

When: May 19-20, 2007 – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m
Where: Bell Arts Factory,
432 N. Ventura Ave. Ventura 93001
