Description Airport comes from a series I started during a point in life where I was taking a second stab at youth and coming out of my temporary social isolation. To facilitate the creation of art-on-the-go I settled on a very small sketchbook, pencil and marker only. Airport depicts my impressions of waiting and waiting at the airport. I superimposed a touch of the surreal and magical to make what could be dull and ordinary intriguing. Some time later I showed this sketch to a female acquaintance. She interpreted it to be a statement on breastfeeding in public. While I was amused by her interpretation, such a statement was not what I mindI think.

Art is something I have come to and walked away from and came back to again from a very early age. For a number of years I created little visual art besides elaborate doodles and instead focused on activism and causes, especially those related to environmentalism and what may be referred to as economic justice. At times I have fused the two. At other times I made art for other purposes: memoir, illustration, to infuse the surreal into the real, and just for the sake of esthetics. The “Something For Everybody” gallery consists of artwork from the late 1980’s to the present. I included a wide swath of different mediums and themes that I have worked with over the years: woodprint, painting, mixed-media, and cartoon (including cartoons from the book “My First Year In Purgatory” (www.myfirstyearinpurgatory.org). All are presented here as high-end digital prints. Some lend themselves to posters, fine art prints, canvass, or greeting cards. Imagekind makes all these options available.
