All Aboard the Slow Healing Train!", says Conductor Quinn!

Michael "Corpse" Scoggins brought his Exquisite Cadavre crew to the Parker's Box WorldwiDeTour21 event to help get the "SlowHealingTrain" rolling too. Thanks Michael and Cadavre crew!-WWDT21 (is that HotHead sitting there?)

And there's Summer Wheat with her portrait of BigHat! The big talent certainly came out for this auspicious affair. A great affirmation of WorldWiDeTour21's. Thank you Summer! and all you other painters who came by!

BigHat, hard at work trying to figure out what is on the monitor.

One of the big surprises of the evening was when Rose Hobart, (pictured here by the lens of Frossard) showed up. Rose, the star of the 1932 Joseph Cornell film of the same name painted an exquisite portrait of BigHat. BigHat, a huge fan of Rose, was smitten and had a hard time not dropping his brush! Bighat managed Not to fall out of his chair when Rose said of his portrait of her that it reminded her of a Picasso! There are as many wonderful stories on the slowtrain as there are people!

There were a lotta passengers on board the "SlowHealingTrain" the other night, and here is a Frossard photo of the Painter Passenger Manifest posted at the Parker's Box Depot. In all there were 22 paintings done that night. 10 by Special Guest Visiting Artists, 10 by BigHat himself and one each by HotHead and CoolHead. Seems the "SlowHealingTrain" is well on its way to realizing it's mission of having a portrait of every person in the world in it's "Portrait Salon Carriage Gallery" by the end of the century! -WorldWiDeTour21

There's BPlusBlacki and his painting of BigHat. BigHat needs all the help he can get, as the "SlowHealingTrain" moves slowly forward on it's mission to paint a portrait of every person on earth before December31st 2099.

A beautiful photo by Etienne Frossard taken at the August 18th WorldWiDeTour21's "SlowHealingTrain" performance at Parker's Box in Brooklyn. That's BPlusBlacki painting a portrait of BigHat on board the "Portrait Parlor Carriage", the first car on the slowtrain.

This is the result of a painstaking process designed by the designers to capture themselves doing precisely what they do at precisely the moment they were cognitively aware of themselves performing the motions to prepare themselves for the moment that they would be aware. They were unable to act/look anything but absurd. This will be the norm.
