Cosmic Ukulele - Original painted found object. By Alan C. Martin
Powerball Rally Series.
An original abstract painted ukulele, acrylic paint and cold wax onto found object. A tribute the fabled "Cosmic Guitar" that lived in Glyn Dillon's house, in Worthing, in the early 1990s.
A working Soprano Ukulele, painted in "Cosmic" colours by Tank Girl co-creator Alan C. Martin. 53cm high, 16cm wide, 6cm deep. The instrument has been stripped of its furniture, sanded, painted all over (apart from fretboard) with acrylic paint, sealed and buffed with cold wax, and then re-assembled. Signed "ACM 2025" on the back.
Comes with a POWERBALL RALLY collection catalogue, and two signed art prints.
Action Alley COA included.
This piece is featured in the "Powerball Rally" catalogue.
Suitable for display, or, indeed, playing (be wary - paint will wear if used excesively).
