The inspiration for Judgment Day (Above)

This photograph of OJ Simpson surrounded by his lawyers inspired this statement of good and evil, right and wrong, and the judgment of our actions. All of us have many facets to our personalities and we are surrounded by our advisors and mentors. But ultimately, the truth of our behavior will be our legacy.

The transformation from an image or idea to an art piece that will inspire or incite the viewer is my passion.

Dios

My inspiration for “Dios” is the sense that all of us can become overwhelmed at some time. We all can be left helpless in a flood of troubles in a foreign place. Looking to “Dios”, to God, is a universal truth that can give us inner strength. Looking to our fellow man to pull us from our troubles may or may not be the answer. But each person is an individual in the flood of life and must find his or her own way.

In My Dreams

Every man thinks of himself as the ultimate lover, but his woman may not see him the same way. In my dreams, or the next guy’s dreams, our women think we are princes.
