MARVIN BLAINE - featured artwork "Prince Tribute, Purple Rain" "I grew up in a house filled with art and music. My mom was an artist and my dad a concert violinist. My dad was featured in a Prince music video performed by The Family called Screams of Passion. Quality of the video is bad but it's the best one I could find online. https://myspace.com/thedawnexperience/video/the-family-the-screams-of-passion/5615424 Prince was a major inspiration to me from his first movie Purple Rain. His music using creativity along the many facets of music genres inspires me, as well as his style when it came to dressing, as his style approach to his music videos. I love what people who were close to him are saying with such respect, for who he was and what he did behind the scenes, not that many people know how he helped others in need. I am deeply sorry he is no longer with us but what he left us with, lives on forever." http://www.marvinblaine.com http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/marvin-blaine.html
