There is a big controversy brewing because they have chosen a Chinese sculptor to carve the MLK memorial. He is very famous in china and known for his carving of chairman Mao. Personally, I think it would be best suited for a young black artist to have a go at the sculpture. I am sure there are many african american scuptors who would view this as the chance of a lifetime and would probably have a greater connection to MLK than a sculptor from communist china. Its just my two cents..plus it could have a stamp that says made in america on the bottom of it.
I cant believe that a seventeen year old kid figured out how to unlock the iphone so it can be used with other carriers. He is from new jersey and the phone is now up for bid for 41,000 dollars on ebay. (I'll bet that apple or ATT is one of the bidders as they are interested in following his steps to prevent such action.) Here is his blog!

I had a last minute request from citizens against government waste to do a cover..I do these covers for free as I respect the cause and think the government is a big bloated evil corporation bent on stealing as much money and rights as possible...(this is as political as I get on this site.) This picture was done to illustrate the government stealing intellectual properties as well as stealing homes through eminent domain. I had very little time on this piece and must finish 5 deadlines but the cause is good..back to my other deadlines.
this is the present chaos of my studio. I am on five projects at once and need to resolve some of them soon.

after my friend passed away I picked this up from his studio. He loved this piece and I would have left it to his family but I did not know them and never met them in 20 years. Now she is back home with me. Sorry for the horrible snapshot...I am a bad photographer...
I am finishing up a bunch of projects--a book cover, a mural, a children's book and some glass art. When done I can get back to the blog a bit more...I will put up some stuff today during my breaks.

I just found out a close friend and business associate of 20 years died of a massive heart attack. He owned a long island glass company that used to give me a lot of work when I was just out of high school. After twenty years of knowing someone in business you either hate them or become close friends..Dave was definitely a close friend and we recently worked together on a big glass project that we celebrated with a big sushi dinner. He will be greatly missed and I will always remember the support and encouragement he gave me in my art.

DADDY LONG LEGS OF THE EVENING --HOPE.
This is a Dalinian masterpiece! I am glad that finding a spider led me back to dali and one of my favorite works! feel free to stare at, just dont touch it as the museum guards get upset. I think this painting had much to do with the ending of the spanish civil war with franco or some such historical event. I am weak on history but that is life. Gardega would like to ask dali why he gave his spider seven legs? God would never give a spider seven legs! 8 or six is fine--not seven! was it on purpose? Was there a meaning there, perhaps it was injured by the war and time was needed to heal.
I found a spider tonight. He was so big I decided to measure him he is 5.5 inches according to my ruler! If you find a daddy long legs in the evening it is good luck and leads me to one of my favorite dali paintings...
I have been crazy busy. I have just finished a commissioned pandora's box painting. I have started painting a 3 foot mural commission for a client and I am finishing up a queens book cover. Next week will be a bit less crazy and I will load up new work for sale. This is on top of carving glass for an art show and I have written a children's book that requires an attorney for trademark and copyright purposes. My children's book is very unique and I think it would be something that would not insult adults intelligence as well. I could never write a book that panders to kids, they are smarter than that.
viva dali
