Danny makes a homage to his heroes, both with his brain on full tilt and heart on his sleeve.  While passionate (in the throes of a high energy heat flash), there is deep intellect bubbling throughout.  Appearing in spastic spurts and varying semiology, from knowing nods to Basquiat and Haring to a crypto DM to Dali and sideways salute to Scharf.  With his inimitable joy and exuberance, it’s hard not feel the artist’s heart pounding like a child at his first visit to this carnival of enlightened Carnies, his swirling guts filled with endless awe and colorful cotton candy, and, if you sit with this painting for longer than a few minutes—Minnick’s meaning and place in the Luna Luna legacy.
