State Fair Cartoonist

Graduated from RSDI, the got an MFA from Pratt. I wanted to be another Basquiat, take the New York Art scene by storm, selling out a show and buying some old farm in the Hudson Valley, convert the old barn into a studio aka Jackson Pollack.

But nobody was impressed. I couldn’t get a show at the crappiest gallery, couldn’t even get work selling illustrations to magazines. All I had to show for my education was a mountain of debt and three huge boxes of unsold paintings.

So, you want me to draw you on an elephant, or a lion?

  1. Eye roll. I hold in my hand a book by Frank O’Hara (Ed. Mark Ford), “Why I Am Not a Painter” and other poems. Well told.
