Leecifer's custom "Ivory Ring Toss Bear" for Julie West's "Play" exhibition at Dragatomi!

Leecifer's "Ivory Ring Toss Bear," made for Dragatomi's upcoming "Play" group exhibition wherein a variety of artists were asked to make a playable game, converts a Jermaine Rogers's Bear figure into the centerpiece of an elaborate ring toss set-up. And Leecifer's style really works for this concept, as his dry brush applications tend to give a feel of something a tad weathered. While the overall appearance is gorgeous, the base itself (shown below) has some spot-on hand-lettering… which is WAY more difficult to do than it sounds.

"Play," a group art show guest curated by Julie West, will open on May 11th with a reception from 6-9PM local time and be available for viewing until June 1st, 2013 at Dragatomi, 2317 J St., Sacramento, CA 95816. Participating artists include: Heidi Kenney, DrilOne, Chris Bishop, Tweedlebop, Pepe Hiller, Allison Sommers, Crowded Teeth, 64 Colors, Amy Ruppel Adrianna Bamber, Dro, Lana Crooks, Kali Meadows, Gary Ham, Travis Lampe, Scott Tolleson, Jeremiah Ketner, Tad Carpenter, Jason Limon, Ed Nacional, Big Secret, Dominic Flask, Julie West, Leecifer, and Jay222.
