My work for Cleveland Playhouse’s Annual Halloween Pub Crawl was immediately washed away because it was considered too offensive and controversial. As one of my buddies put it “Congrats man…you’re officially a true artist now.” 😉

Charlie. This year’s contribution to Friends Of The Shelter’s PupArt. 36 x 48 acrylic on canvas. Original photo by the great Greg Murray. An unintentional yet amazing coincidence…Charlie is the “spokesdog” for the “I’m with Charlie” campaign, a movement that is fighting breed discrimination in the city of Lakewood. Go Charlie!

Untitled. 70 x 72 on old weathered barn wood. Original photo inspired by and found at @lee_jeffries on Instagram. Barn wood graciously donated by Rustbelt Reclamation of Cleveland.

#Trump is back in #CLE. One woman stopped me, took a photo and gushed all over this piece. Another woman, while I was in the middle of hanging Trump, slammed her laptop, stuffed it into her bag, stormed out and said “I can’t work with this giant asshole staring at me!” And I swear, I was NOT staring at her! 😉 The beauty of art is that it can create an entirely different emotion from one person to the next…and I think that’s pretty freak'n incredible!! SO much fun!! 48 x 60 acrylic on canvas.
