About The Artwork

I confront my fear of the mighty and often misunderstood Pit Bull. 2 scary and unrelated incidents put me almost forever in fear of this pretty beast. My first fear engulfing incident was facing a full speed charging pit bearing right at me. My best defense of course was prayer and closing my eyes while covering the “jewels!” I prayed that the end would come swift, painless was asking for too much. To my sheer delight and astonishment this pit preferred to steal my skateboard instead, right from under my feet. I was happy to be pain free, then sad again since I had far to walk. The second incident not so funny as my friends pit sent me to the emergency room to get stitches on my face after a powerful head butt! (I still remember my friend saying, like all pit bull owners say beforehand, “Just don’t let him know you’re scared” Oh, he sure saw through that smoke screen and “My dog is often just misunderstood! He’s really sweet!” No, wrong again, he wasn’t sweet, and I understood that all along). This painting I confront my fear of this powerful animal. That’s why I have so many contradictions here, bright happy colors against cold steely gaze. Massive spiked collar against peace sign pendant. Fortunately ever since painting this piece I no longer have pit bull nightmares!

4 Decades of creating. the 80s, my favorite decade i became an accomplished graffiti artist. Started the first graffiti clothing company, L.E.S. Clothing. Then the first graffiti furniture fabrication with Ferra Design all while painting canvas, having shows and painting NYC subway cars. That led me to Hollywood, became the first graffiti artists in the Union allowing me to create murals for several TV series and movies but my heart brought me back to NYC to begin murals throughout the Chelsea Market which then led to a 13 year run of collaborations with famed photographer David LaChapelle, including well known shots with Madonna, Elton John and Mariah Carey. The new millennium would take me to Moscow to designs some restaurants and several mural installations but the cold eventually landed me in Miami when I achieved a personal dream-goal of opening my own gallery in Wynwood, the urban art capital of the world where I painted and painted for the monthly artwalk shows and i was able to self publish my first book about all those paintings 2017 I sold the gallery and now paint for fun and hobby.
