All Our Yesterdays
Something got a hold of me and I decided to convert some of the old films I acted in back in my NYC days into DVDs. I made these in the late 80s and they look a bit dusty. They were mostly shot on 16 m and shown at student film festivals. They were the final projects...
Faith vs Fact

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Still wet on the easel, The Tan Suit has great significance, not only because Obama infamously wore one as President . . . 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.

Well, here is the mysterious, highly sensitive project I was talking about: my oil portrait of Susie Jackson, one of the Emanuel Nine who parished in that terrible shooting at Mother Emanuel Church in 2015.

I have reached out to Susie Jackson's survivors, who seem to be very supportive of my memorial portrait. What do you think? ...
