Acrylic Paints on Epiphone guitar Since 1996, Jose Vasquez has worked as a telemetry technician, where he first learned about rhythms of the heart. One day in 2006 while he was at work, Jose witnessed a patient's rhythms become deadly. The patient passed away despite all efforts of the physicians and staff. This unfortunate event made Jose think about what was going through this patient's mind as the doctors and staff fought to save his life. The result was a drawing that he calls "Slow Death." It is a traditional valentine heart shaped with electocardiographic rhythms. A series of heads that surround the heart demonstrate the man's struggle from life to death. Art had been a long desired pastime for Jose, but he never pursued it until his colleagues encouraged him after seeing this creation. He considered what he could do to draw attention to his art in the city of Cleveland. Both the Heart Center of the Cleveland Clinic and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame became inspiration for his original line of rhythmic guitars. Categories: Les Paul
