The upcoming birth of my daughter has inspired quite a bit of artwork. Here is a painting of her Guardian Angel. It can be seen on the side of the church on the corner of Grand Street and Madison Ave. in Albany. The church is home to Grand Street Community Arts and the piece is on exhibit as part of the Boarded Up project.

“I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids—and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.”
-Ralph Ellison

NEW ART! City for the Bricks is one of the many creations that I've been hard at work on. It's about feelings of isolation and uncertainty and is partly inspired by Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man (read it if you haven't). I wrote more about this painting in my blog. I'm also working on several comic book stories so look for something new in the Comics section very soon.

Anyway, enjoy looking around the site, and drop me an email. I've been watching the site's hits go up, but I'd like to hear from you. That's all for now. More soon.

Peace.
