ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I must've died and gone to heaven 'Cause it was quarter past eleven On a Saturday in 1999 Right across from where I'm standing On the dance floor she was landing It was clear that she was from another time Like some baby Barbarella With the stars as her umbrella She asked me if I'd like to magnetise Do I have to go star-trekking 'Cause it's you I should be checking So she laser beamed me with her cosmic eyes She's just a cosmic girl From another galaxy My heart's at zero gravity She's from a cosmic world Putting me in ecstasy Transmitting on my frequency She's cosmic I'm scanning all my radars Well she said she's from a quasar Forty thousand million light years away It's a distant solar system Tried to phone but they don't list 'em So I asked her for her number all the same She said, "step in my transporter So I can teleport ya All around my heavenly body" Oh, this could be a close encounter I should take care not to flounder Sends me into hyperspace When I see her pretty face She's just a cosmic girl From another galaxy My heart's at zero gravity She's from a cosmic world Putting me in ecstasy Transmitting on my frequency She's cosmic Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face She's just a cosmic girl From another galaxy Transmitting on her frequency Yeah cosmic, oh Can't you be my cosmic woman? I need you, I want you To be my cosmic girl, for the rest of time Oh, I'm losing my love Oh, my cosmic girl yeah She gives me ecstasy ‘Cosmic Girl’ by Jamiroquai Songwriters: Simon Katz / Stuart Zender / Toby Smith / Derrick Mckenzie / Jason Kay / Wallis Buchanan "Cosmic Girl" is the second single from British funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai's third studio album, Travelling Without Moving, released on 11 November 1996 on Sony Soho Square in the United Kingdom and 17 January 1997 on Sony Music/Work Group in the United States. The song achieved great chart success, peaking at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart. It also peaked at number 3 in Italy, number 4 in Iceland and number 10 in Finland. The B-side to the single was an instrumental, "Slipin' 'N' Slidin'", a rather obscure song originating from another old Jamiroquai tune called "Mr Boogie", which was a live-only song. "Slipin 'N' Slidin'", just like "Mr Boogie", also had a vocal version. The song is featured in Ubisoft game Just Dance 2. The song appeared in MTV animated series Daria in the episode "This Year's Model". "Cosmic Girl" later appeared in the 2000 movie Center Stage and the game SingStar Dance. Travelling Without Moving is the third studio album by British funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai, released on 28 August 1996 in Japan, 9 September 1996 in the United Kingdom, 19 November 1996 in Canada, and 14 January 1997 in the United States. The album features the international hit single "Virtual Insanity". It sold over 8 million copies worldwide, and entered the Guinness World Records as the best-selling funk album in history. Jamiroquai (/dʒəˈmɪrəkwaɪ/) are an English funk and acid jazz band from London. Formed in 1992, they are fronted by vocalist Jay Kay, and were prominent in the London-based funk/jazz movement of the 1990s. Their style is characterised by sounds taking influence from black music and lyrics having dealt with social and environmental justice. Their later releases drew from rock, disco, electronic and Latin music genres. Kay has remained as the only original member through several line-up changes. The band made their debut under Acid Jazz records, but subsequently found success under Sony with three of their albums charting at number one in the UK, including Emergency on Planet Earth (1993), Synkronized (1999), A Funk Odyssey (2001), and additionally their greatest hits compilation. The band's 1998 single "Deeper Underground" was also number one in the country. The band has sold more than 26 million albums worldwide as of 2017. Their third album, Travelling Without Moving (1996), received a Guinness World Record for the best-selling funk album in history. The music video for its lead single, "Virtual Insanity", also contributed to the band's success, and was named Video of the Year at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards, and the song earned the band a Grammy Award in 1998.

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
