Really beautiful work ... but can you please tell me the name of the song?

[ArtistJohnKraft]

Thanks for the feedback! The song is "Slip to You" from my new CD "Racing the Moon" available on iTunes. Just search "John Kraft" on the iTunes store. Thanks!

Very cool!

I think I saw something like this at Momo's if I'm not mistaken?? Anyway, love the piece, great work!!!

[ArtistJohnKraft]

You're exactly right. The one at Momo's near the ballpark is very cool. That one has a Martini theme. All the proceeds from the sale of these hearts goes to the SF General Hospital Foundation - and it's a great vehicle for SF artists to contribute to public art in SF.

Thanks for the question.... The Heart itself is made of fiberglass over a steel frame. Made by a company in California exclusively for the SF Heroes and Hearts project.

Thank you, Susan!

What's the material of the heart? Where was it made?

Reminds me of the Penguins around Tulsa. A few years ago, to raise money for our zoo, the city sold penguins about the size of your heart and various artists painted them. They are still up outside and inside many businesses around Tulsa. Even though I used to paint quite a bit, i can't believe you did all that without using tape of any kind! The song is cool too! I need to go out and look at your new book.
