Q & A with Robert Manisalco
Originally from Detroit, artist Robert Maniscalco apprenticed in the early 1980s under his internationally renowned portrait artist father, Joseph, who believed it was a sin to hide one’s talent. His gifts have led him to become an accomplished multi-media artist....
The Solution to Violence
I am so proud of Congresswoman Debbie Dingell. Many of you may not know it, but her mother was married to my late father for many years. So she was my step sister, in what is now another lifetime ago. Now, I watch from afar, in great admiration. She is on the...
Race Conscious
My son's friend, Daniel, called me a racist the other day because I made a joke about immigration. I said something "clever" about Mexican warlords and immigrants. I corrected him condescendingly and said somewhat dismissively, "no, I'm not a racist; I'm race...

Zero Sum Game
I say the answer to the above is 10. But my math-wiz-friend, Chuck Greenia, says it’s "kind of a trick. In formal mathematics, multiplication and division are done before addition and subtraction, making the answer -80." Sheesh! Formal mathematics sounds even...

Thank you Tom for your insight and perspective on the age old debate on nudity. Apparently, even male nudity from the waste up is a thing. I think ageism may have also been a factor - no one wants to see my sagging carcass. I'm proud I won, but I've been around long enough to know it could have easily been a bust - just not my bust. "Reflections" goes to Cincinnati next for a national show. I'm proud of the high quality this show is attracting, raising the artistic standards, if not the moral standards, of our region. This was my second 'best of' in as many years of the Lowcountry FA Showcase. Now, the question dangles tantalizingly over the horizon: should I go for three next year? Or quit while I'm ahead (but not a semi nude body!)? ...

Remember when this was such a terrible transgression? But making billions on buisness deals as President is okay? But I digress. This painting is from a pic I took in 2010 in front of Mother Emanuel Church, in a simpler time.
