THE GOSPEL OF BLACKIE THE CAT!

August is usually a difficult month since 2020, when I lost the Great Blackie the Cat. Many memories trying to save him and having to accept his loss, and his ascension after his passing.

Beverly & Fairfax are taught the teachings of Blackie the Cat, just as Bosko once learned. Not as an edict, but knowledge so one can find their own true direction in life.

Being Jewish, I grew up wary of false prophets, but I know when true light shines into your world when I was fortunate to be touched by the brilliance and magic of the Blackie the Cat.

Happy Caturday!

IT’S ALL DUMB LUCK.
Today is the 26th Anniversary of the opening of my first solo LA Exhibition DUMB LUCK and Other Paintings About Lack of Control. This iconic image of a Bunny wanting nothing more than his Lucky Rabbit’s Foot, at the expense of losing his own leg, played a big role in my early painting and Urban Vinyl Career.
Be Careful What You Wish For, Because You Will Get It!
