Lowell Thompson

Born,1947, Chicago, IL.

AfrAmerican recovering adman, artist/writer who uses his creativity to change the world (hopefully for the better). Toward that end, I created my ORIGINAALS Project, which advocates for and advises African-American artists.I paint Chicago, a city that's a metaphor for every other city in the world. I call my work "Chicago Fer Real" and it is a non-tourist's guide to the city - and America.

Currently (April 2011) writing and gathering images for book, "African Americans in Chicago" for Arcadia, the largest publisher of local/ethnic history books in America.
