New Portrait: Jimmy and Bobby
Recently, I was commissioned to do a portrait of a young man and his dog who reside in Maryland. I had to work with photos that I did not take myself, which always poses a challenge, especially when an iPhone is used and distorts the shape of the face. The writer who commissioned the painting… Continue reading New Portrait: Jimmy and Bobby
New Painting: Invasive Exotic

New Painting: Equinox
This painting was completed during my Akron Soul Train residency, so technically not that new, but made in 2019 and it hasn't been widely circulated. "Equinox" 30x30 inches, oil on canvas. A lot of bits and pieces in this painting were created in 3D modeling software (which I am still getting the hang of) and… Continue reading New Painting: Equinox
The Restrooms of Cleveland, the Book
After quite a few years, the photo book that I have slowly been working on is now available! You can order here. Which I recommend, as this will be a limited 1x run and, it has already exceeded my expectations. I'm a little disturbed by this fact. Clevelanders love their Clevelanding, man. There comes a… Continue reading The Restrooms of Cleveland, the Book
