The Dan Lacey Bandwidth-Abuse Thread

If you're painting these in a the lobby of a horse track, does that also include the NSFW ones?

Not anything inappropriate, but someone has asked me to paint a old west type Gay 90's showgirl stretched out saucily on a divan while holding a tiny umbrella, so I might do that.

Yeah, do that.

What a journey. Thanks for gracing us with your presence, Dan.

RIP, Dan.

Marilynn McNair of Atlanta said she met Lacey outside Paisley Park in October 2016. A woman parked her car and asked Lacey what he was doing. He was holding a photo of Prince as a model for his painting. The woman blurted that she'd love to have that wonderful photo.

"It was his study picture, and he just gave it to her," McNair recalled.

"Dan, u don't know how it feels. One day u'll be famous and then u'll understand."

The facets that made up Dan's life had facets.

RIP to an original

i didn't even know about his Prince phase. what an amazing obituary.

RIP

Oh man, the Dan Lacey days were a trip. Have to confess that I read the who never went inside part of that headline as though he had never been inside anywhere, ever. I am very tired. RIPancakes.

<3

RIP Dan. You were a star unlike any other.

I’m not sure if this will ever happen, but I’m willing to take a shot b/c Dan loved theses boards & talked to me constantly about them. He promised me a lot of male nudes & time ran out for us. Dan was my best friend & if anyone is has a male nude he painted that they’d like to sell, please let me know. I’ll always be looking for one.

As for all of his pancakes, I hope they stay beloved by the world. Dan wanted more for his art legacy beyond Prince. I was happy to see you all remembering him. I miss him every day.

I somehow missed the news of his death in February, R.I.P.!

I have two Lacey originals that I still love.
