Description
The title of this work was inspired by the 1976, Disco song, “Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel.” The song was recorded by the American R&B, funk and soul music group Tavares. It was released as the first single from their fourth album, Sky High!
The image itself (Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel), is unrelated to the Tavares recording, but comes from a series of original tattoo patterns by prison artist C-Note that he felt would be appealing to his fellow California prisoners. One of the ways C-Note would survive in prison was to create original tattoo patterns for the prison culture that is dominated by gang culture.
This particular work was inspired by and created for Halloween and El Dia de la Muerte.
