“Alexander’s Ragtime Band” is an original, signed 21 × 24 inch painting by Bisbee, Arizona artist Bill Mead, a lively and character‑rich scene that showcases his playful surrealism. Here, Mead turns a simple musical moment into something wonderfully unexpected — expressive figures, warm color, and a sense of rhythm that seems to pulse right out of the composition.
The charm of the piece lies in its personality: humorous, spirited, and full of movement, yet grounded in Mead’s signature restraint.
 
The surreal elements feel completely at ease in the world he creates, inviting the viewer to enjoy the whimsy without losing the quiet sophistication beneath it.
A vibrant, imaginative work that captures the joyful side of Mead’s Gravity & Wonder vision.
