The official and sanctioned State of Art Babe was originally in the form of anonymous graffiti on a large blue-grey granite boulder located on Utah Highway 12 about ten miles west of Escalante, Art/Utah. What you see here is a version of the evolution and transformation of those images. When the State of Art was inaugurated June 13, 1992, Babe #1 had her left arm behind her head and her right arm on her hip, yellow hair, big blue eyes, large sexy red lips, a revealing red bikini and size sixteen black boots. Huba-huba! After she was sprayed over by a highway crew, our Babe surfaced again, but this time with a green bikini. The last time I was in Escalante in November of 1997, there was little left of Babe #1. But to her left and life-size, is a gorgeous Babe #2, a white woman with soft brunette hair, blue eyes, seductive lips with her arms hanging straight down, with her right leg folded over her left leg in a very provocative pose.
By the way citizens, The Great State of Art is the fifty-first state in our union, founded by Art’s Gran Director Bob Matheny. The declaration for the new state occurred at a dramatic and historical event June 18, 1990 at Cedar Breaks, Utah, attended by the four signatories of the official document: Jon R. Pittman, alias Raymond Beaver, Sabin Mroz, no alias here, Robert W. Schneider, alias unwilling to discuss and Robert E. Matheny, alias Alberto-Santos Dumont. The Great State of Art shares land with Utah and Arizona, about 8,000 square miles, with headquarters at a secret location Coyote Buttes, Art/Arizona/Utah. |
