OLD CANVAS ( Yesterday & Today) 2009

I don't update on here enough, but I realized I never posted this one....
I painted this for Roz One's (TC5 XMEN) Hell's Kitchen Show
back in fall 2009. The interesting connection is I completed
this at the weeks before my Mom passed away & the show was
in her old neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen where my parents had
emigrated to in 1962....Rest in paradise, Mom & Papa....

It's 24" x 36" acrylic on canvas entitled "Yesterday & Today" I'd
envisioned what a modern day bomber would look like hopping
an 'ol skool NYC transit turnstile. I used my old home station,
30th Ave. for inspiration.

Thanks for checking it out....Peace ya'll....

A year ago you went to Heaven....

and 40 years ago you brought me into the world...you were a nuturing mother, doing the best you could raising 2 children with practically nothing. Thank you for your sacrifice, patience, picking me up from school, making sure I did my homework, packing my lunch, walking with me to/waiting for me after hockey & baseball practice, listening to my problems, encouraging me to keep painting, fighting to keep me clean & sober, and most of all for loving me. There's a still alot I have to do in life, but you raised me well and taught me everyone is a child of God, to respect and love everyone.....
I know you watch & bless me from Heaven now...Rest In Peace Forever Mom...we love & miss you more everyday that passes...Thank you, I love you Mom...R.I.P. 10/5/09

New Canvas! "Mos One, 1985""

Here's the latest from "The Paint & Trade" series I've been painting & exchanging with my fellow artists lately...

This one is for my fellow QB homie from way back, Anthony Zacto. Titled "Mos One, 1985" (acrylic on a 24"x30" canvas) it's a recreation of a throwie I popped off at 33rd-Rawson Street station on the 7 line in Queens back in 1985. As 15 yr-old high schooler, this was a big deal for me as that section of the platform was visible from most of my classes at Aviation High School.
It lasted for maybe 2 weeks till it got buffed! Hahaha....It was good times!

Enjoy, peace!
