LEGENDARY ARTIST RUBY MAZUR SIGNS WITH COSMIC WIRE FOR DEBUT CANVAS & NFT GALLERY, A

50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF HIS FAMOUS \u2018MOUTH & TONGUE\u2019 FROM THE ROLLING STONES\u2019

\u2018TUMBLING DICE\u2019 RECORD SLEEVE!

Culture-shifting painter, Ruby Mazur, is revisiting his iconic 1971 \u2018Mouth & Tongue\u2019 symbol from The

Rolling Stones\u2019 \u2018Tumbling Dice\u2019 record sleeve to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of its creation. Ruby will

show 13 derivative pieces of the \u2018Mouth & Tongue\u2019 that continue to embody the spirit of rock n\u2019 roll at

the Holle Fine Arts Gallery on Maui in collaboration with Cosmic Wire; a cutting edge and revolutionary

hybrid art exhibit displaying both digital NFTs and physical canvas of the works.

Adding to the immersive gallery experience on July 2nd will be a new experience, with live music by

Falling Doves and a surprise NFT for event patrons as they mingle with Ruby and other influencers from

the island. A percentage of the NFT proceeds go to LET ME HELP, a New York based charity in support of

The American Cancer Society, Anti-Bullying, Broadway Heros, Covid-19 Relief and Prostate Cancer.

Ever since earning a Grammy nomination for designing the \u2018CrowFoot\u2019 album art in the 1960\u2019s, Ruby

Mazur has been asked to illustrate and communicate the musical message of the world\u2019s most famous

performers. Capturing pivotal moments and cementing trends, Ruby has worked on over 3,000 album

covers for artists like Elton John, Billy Joel, Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughn, Van Morrison, Jim Croce, Jimmy

Buffet and B.B. King or with record labels like Paramount, Atlantic, and Warner Bros.

The paintings and works are inspired by Ruby\u2019s outrageous rock n\u2019 roll days and his second life in Maui,

conveying the wild and dynamic music scene with the humility of the island way of life.

\u201cGoing digital with Cosmic Wire on my paintings with these new NFTs is like the \u201cOld World\u201d going into

the new frontier of the \u201cNew World\u201d of Art\u201d commented Ruby, \u201cThis is an exciting new experience,

merging both worlds where I can dip my brush into paint with one stroke and it goes almost instantly

around the world.\u201d
