People, Places, and the Event

“Art has always been my social weapon. Therefore it’s got to be good art.” Words of Paul Robeson, every mans artist, athlete, and freedom fighter.
My vision is to confront. Regardless of what you think of the painting you are drawn into the portrayal of the event. Portraits are painted of those who have a special significance to me. It is that struggle with color, vibrant or subtle. Wall scrolls are the event, movie poster, story, comic book. My mind spray means to spit, tag and challenge the viewer with all thoughts. It is shapes that dominate or create tension. It is the message, music, show card.
